F250 Rotors

I would like to find out about aftermarket rotors, I’m looking to get a set of slotted and drilled rotors, I see people talking about power slot rotors but as I do a search I find there are tons of other name brands out there. They range from $300-$700 for a set of 4. My question is how do I know what is good and not good, I know about you get what you pay for but I’m on a very tight budget. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

.You want a rotor that is cryogeniclly hardened.
If you go through one of the sponsors you get real good prices.
Did you search our sponsors on the left hand side of the page here.

I use ART rotors ,(Applied Rotor Technology) more expensive but the last rotor you'll
buy.

What year is your truck? There aren't may options out there for us when it comes to brakes.

Why both Slotted and drilled? I ask because it is known that drilled rotors tend to crack over time with heat. They work great at the race track...not so great on a 7000+ lb SD. Just a FYI...

Slotted on the other hand...is a great idea for allowing the heat to escape the surface of the rotor.

Brand: I use PowerSlot. Love the rotor over OEM. Also use the HAWK brake pads. Purchased from a FTE sponser...with a 8 or 12% discount depending on what you purchase.
