Eline drilled slotted brake rotors

Has anybody ever heard of this brand? I'm thinking about upgrading my 09 Honda Fit rotors with slotted brake rotors and ceramic brake pads. I came across this product on ebay and I liked the comparison chart it has....what do you guys think?

I think you should first figure out your braking needs before you go with these. Don't know much about that brand, but I like the silver zinc coating. If you are wanting to do a daily driver this is probably ok, but if you are looking for something more you might want to go with something not drilled. Cheap drilled rotors can crack with heat and they have less metal, so they can't handle heat as well (overheating).... Had that happen to me in my integra back in the day.

I've never heard of that brand but they look and sound nice.

Drilled rotors are kind of unnecessary on the Fit though, upgraded pads and fluid should be just fine, or so i've found anyway after experimenting. If you want to replace rotors just get some Centric Premiums, which have most of the same features without the slots/holes, which you don't really need anyway.

Concerned when you say Ceramic Brake Pads as I equate Ceramic Brake Pads as Slippery Brake Pads. Personally I don't want slippery but abrasive. Had the Porterfield R4S Brake Pad before and was very pleased with it (on my street car). I am of the mindset that if you are getting new rotors you are upgrading for better braking performance, put an abrasive brake pad on. Heard the Hawk Performance HPS+ is a good brake pad. Just my $.02.
