The only ones I can find are on ebay and I just don't like buying stuff from ebay anymore (especially stuff like this). Most of the rotors I've found are either slotted/cross drilled or just slotted. I don't want slotted because I here they were your pads out faster.

Default They don't always crack.

Mine get to the point of glowing red on the track an mine have never cracked after 100K miles of use. I'm about to buy my third set of them (Zimmerman x-drilled).

Exactly. And I'm not tracking the car, so I doubt they'll crack.

Default local indy mechanic. Not sure where he gets 'em.

If I were you I'd just call around to a bunch of indy guys in your neck of the woods. Chances are they'll be able to find 'em for you.
Otherwise, call Larry at 303 761 7000 (Denver) and he'll get 'em for you.
