Ok I need some new rotors and the ones I usually buy from JC Whitney are on clearance and only have the passenger side left in stock. I usually buy the Roto-Tech cross-drilled and slotted rotors which are directional which is why I cannot just buy two passenger side rotors.
They have other options for performance rotors for an XJ and I am having difficulty making a decision on which one.
This is $49.95 for a set of zinc plated dimpled and slotted rotors. Never heard of zinc plated rotors so I am unsure of their performance, life, and reaction to Duralast gold semi pads.

This is $76.99 for each rotor for drilled and slotted rotors with no special coatings. The same company offers just slotted rotors for $64.00 so don't know if the holes really make a big difference.

Anyways I would like to hear which ones yall think is a better buy.
I know that I could get a good set of regular OE style rotors for really cheap and its just a Jeep so why would I bother with performance rotors, but with 33x12.50 KM2s and steel wheels every little bit helps and I did notice that brake fade was completely eliminated with the drilled and slotted rotors which I really liked so I don't mind spending a few extra bucks to get some better stopping performance. This is also my daily driver so all the more reason to spend the extra money and have better braking.
