Ordered my Rotorpros today as well... hopefully there is enough meat on the ones on the car to have them turned and have for a backup.. I will share my impressions once on, bedded in and driven on.

I think you are talking about the slots not the vanes.

The vanes are inside and in this case pillar vanes thus not side specific.

My Rotorpro hubs completely rusted the first week after I got them, not sure if I should have gotten the "painted" ones to prevent this. Either way looks hideous

Ummm, but does the car stop? It's just surface rust. I use unplated on my own Evo. Work great, on their third set of pads (IIRC), and do have a little rust on the hubs. Granted, we hardly ever have snow here, so nothing on the road or in the air to make things worse. I got them back when you could get them without the coating. These days the "120's" are considered the "Premiums" and all are black zinc coated less a couple bulk distributors (again IIRC).

I use the blank centrics which are the same thing, and i tell you my stock brembos wobbled after like 15000 miles replaced to these at 20000 miles now i am at 70000 on my 03 and no wheel wobble yet. About to try the slotted ones soon.

As someone said Amazon, or I think you can order directly through Rotorpros. I do suggest the painted hub, because the unpainted will rust. I went with the painted slotted, no complaints from me. I'd buy them again.

Im in the market for some new rotors and am torn between the Girodisc blanks or the rotorpros blanks or centric premium rotors. They are all very close in price. My car is a dd that may see the occassional autox and spirited driving. From searching I can see that rotorpros have lots of good reviews. What ones should I go with??

Make sure you go with the Premium no matter what you choose, as it was said before they all come from the same place, and the giro once came from the same place as well. i think im going to just get Rotorpro Premium Blanks, smike evo was telling me that the slotted versions are good for telling you when to change your discs , once the slots are gone times up LOL
