Smile performance rotor question

I am having trouble finding drilled and slotted rotors for my Ralliart. Will any other rotors fit them, like the LS or Evo rotors? Also, which brand do you recommend.
which websites have the best deals?
Thanks....

RRM has them.... ES is a 4 lug, and so is the OZ... Evo's are completely different...

I think RRM only has slotted? If you want drilled + slotted, I know R1 Concepts has them... however I would strongly advise against the drilled route. Only because drilled rotors tend to crack more easily. Maybe if you raced your car hard and need the rotors to have maximum cooling efficiency, then OK. Otherwise if you just like the look, how about slotted + dimpled? That's what I did, see pic below.

Just stick with slotted, unless you want the drilled look for show.

them and RPW in Astralia. Both sell a brake package. And I am sure that if you call with your lug pattern and rotor dimensions alot more companies carry some compatable rotors. Also, said R1 concept has them. So now you know where to start.

No one said drilled is just for show, they said don't get drilled unless you get them just for show. I think you will begin to see drilled rotors start to fall of in the next few years. Technology is getting better, for one thing, and there are lots of better ways to accomplish the heat dissapation given by drilling. The second thing is through real world use many many many people have had problems when using drilled rotors under high heat application. Cracking at the holes is pretty common, and basically negates the fact that the disc is getting cooled quicker because once it cracks you know it is weaker and shouldn't use the disc. So if it's cracking under high heat, but dissapates heat better, is it really working? Thats like taking your filter off your intake because it restricts air flow. Yeah, you will get more air, but only until the engine seizes from dust or some other particle.
