Post In the market for rear rotors

I'm lookin' for rear rotors to go on my 94'z28 hatchback.I'd like them to be larger then stock and zinc coated,also either slotted or crossed drilled.I only do a few road races a year,so mostly it's for looks purposes.Thanx for any help. 94'z28 mystic teal to many mods

most steer clear of the cross drilled due to cracking. they look awesome, but from what i've read they cut the life of the rotors in half even on normal daily driving..

here's a trhead from the lt1 forum:

From what I have seen I would stay away from drilled rotors...slotted would be okay.

I honestly wouldn't worry to much about your rear brakes either. Most gains are to be had with upgraded front brakes.
