I've got the Extreme+ 15" Rotor setup on my Chevelle. For that you're looking around $5000, depending on what kind of deal you can find. Pro+ are $3000 give or take.

if you're looking to buy, see the group purchase section for a sale i am having, please.
the drilling is mostly cosmetic, fyi, but has it's roots in allowing the gas emitted by the pads under high heat conditions to vent, preventing a cushion of said gas from interferring with proper pad to rotor contact.
also water drainage, and helps keep pad surface fresh, lessening the chance of glazing.

what gas?why not drill holes in your windshield to help with drainage when you use your wipers.please provide the name of a reputable manufacturer who says the pads they make produce a gas that needs vented.

Or you can just search on google for brake gas.

NO!!!!! Not this again
This damn drilled thing is back again.
How many times do we need to beat this dead horse. In current times drilled rotors are cosmetic only, period, end of story! When the first appeared in the 50's, outgassing was a problem. Today it is not.
Looks like that link is from some sort of vender. Bling=more sales not better perfomance.

Too bad I could not find the thread linked on the first post. The site they have it archived is being reconstructed.
