Default Good deal? (Rotors)

It's time to get some new rotors, so i've decided to just jump on the slotted and cross drilled rotors.....i'm just trying to acquire good quality parts that are affordable.....can anybody refer me to a site/rotor that i should take a look at? are these a good deal?

thanks in advance

R1concepts has 2 lines of rotors, the deluxe (same ones in the link you posted) and the premium line. I have the premium line and the only differences are that it is cast with stronger iron, is offered in dimpled/slotted (dimples are less prone to cracking), and it is offered in a black finish. Here are pics of the stuff I ordered from them just so you can see the quality.
