Slotted and Drilled Rotors w/ Brake Pads AMAZON

Hey, it's about time for me to purchase some new rotors and pads, and I stumbled across this "deal" on amazon (did not even know about their automotive branch) and was wondering how reliable this product could be.

Package includes 2 F S/D Rotors and 2 R S/D rotors as well as pads for the set.
all this for $245.06

I am a bit hesitant due to the fact that stores like the RX7 store charge 89 dollars a piece for S/D, and I know they sell a reliable product.
If I were to order this set, would it be a crappy product that will warp and not do its job?

There's this local performance brake shop down here in SoCal that sells a package of front and rear slotted rotors for only $200. A bunch of us are sporting it down here and they seem to be pretty good. There's this guy down here that uses them on his 8 for tracking and it seems to be doing pretty good (forgot his forum name).

If you're interested, here's the contact information.

Thanks you guys.
SE3P, I might give him a call and see if he could ship them over here to the east coast...
On a general note, as far as I know Amazon sells pretty good products, or should I say, sells good products of other vendors.

that seems to be a pretty good deal.

but for me, I would get the ones from reliable sources, like big brand names. Cuz it sucks to have a Rotor crack on you when you're driving (very dangerous)
