Suggestions on stock front brake rotor replacement ?
I'm looking for drilled or perforated front rotors to fit my '03 S6 (same as S4) on the front. I've got some new wheels that have clear view of the brakes, and I'd like to get something that looks cool. 
I'm not tracking this car, or doing anthing that requires improved or even the perception of improved braking. (Don't get me started on "brake upgrades").
Any suggestions as to a source for rotors? I'd prefer to stay away from the "home drilled" sort. And it seems most of fitments require a full brake kit.
TIA,

Heads Up... S6 rotors are not the same as S4...
And are not interchangable

Re: BS. That is why they come stock on Porsches, Ferraris, Lambos, and RS Audis?
since you are good at requesting proof, why do not you deliver something? What does cross drilling buy you? Slots help you get rid of water and vapor. Cross drilling does what? Ventilation? Neither thermodynamics nor centripetal forces call for cross drilling. And I can't see significant weight savings either.

I'd say the burden of proof is on the slotted side rather than the drilled side...
From what I understand, you get better heat dissipation with cross drilled (or with pre-cast holes, depending upon whom you ask at Brembo/Porsche) rotors vs slotted. I have never seen a race car that preferred slotted rotors to cross drilled for heat dissipation and endurance. Educate me as to why slotted is better.
