edit: I have no idea what the G#### is...

Yup already saw those. Unfortunately you can buy the same cast iron rotors cheaper on eBay. Same material.

G3500 is a high carbon rated rotor. More carbon = dissipates heat more, stronger and less squeal. They are often used in higher performance cars.

i believe stop tech are high carbon rotors. Just priced higher

Ah I see... I say order the fleabay rotors and report back =) People seem to have fine results with generic autoparts store rotors and I'd imagine this is not terribly different.

Considering longevity - can you resurface slotted rotors?

will do

I'm going to go for it, they're also in the area and on FB they seem to have a lot of show cars coming in for their rotors.

and probably not, I think i read that shops won't resurface slotted rotors but I could be wrong, either way high carbon is supposed to be a lot stronger so resurfacing might not even be needed (won't warp)

"warped" rotors is kind of misunderstood concept... the rotors don't warp, they build up uneven deposits from the brake pads. There is a fair amount of discussion of this topic on this forum because the OEM pads are prone to it.

So the real question is - do these rotors resist those deposits? Otherwise, not being able to resurface them would be kind of a bummer.

yeah I read that too. might be dependent on the pad at that point

Well don't use the OEM ones!!!! =) I look forward to a review on these rotors though. Good luck!
