Most likely they are stock rotors that have simply been cross drilled and/or slotted. I would be wary without a pic too. The rotors in their logo are not thirdgen rotors, at least not fronts because they are for a separate hub.

I think they sell cross-drilled brake lines, too! For that maximum cooling effect. Jump on it!

GM says they did that for looks. Reg Vettes get solid rotors, the Z51 Vette gets the drilled.

Baer has stated the same thing. Cosmetics plays a huge roll in what people like.

cross-drilling does nothing? what about slotted rotors?

nobody said cross drilling does nothing, it helps to cool your brakes, but it also makes your brakes look alot more attractive to car enthusiasts. I know cosmetics means alot to what people buy (obviously) it just didnt seem like something a company would say ya know? I figured ya kno they make up a whole schpeel about how important these cross drilled brakes are to the car or some bs like that, not come out and be sooooo honest about it, lol

I bought mine from (buyfrome2003)on ebay.$200 for a set(4).No problems after 8k+ miles.The first thing i noticed is the lack of brake dust.Almost zero even on my fronts.plus wear on my pads is better.Not to mention the pedal feel is better too.
