    I've never heard of either brand... but those KVR's... I've never seen so many damn holes drilled in a rotor before, theres no surface of the rotor its like 60% holes lol.

    120 seems a bit low for 4 rotors...
    i'm more familiar with KVR though, and they're a pretty good brand. i use KVR brakepads whenever i want to replace my pads.

    Yeah, I hope they don't really look like that. Well, their webpage states that the machine pattern in the pic may not be exactly as shown.

    KVR is a very reputable performance braking company. Their rotors are high quality, the holes are chamfered, and the rotors are cadmium coated. IMO, you NEED to pay that much to get decent cross drilled rotors.

    Magnum is a way smaller and less reputable company. It looks to me like those rotors are just jobber rotors with holes drilled through them. These are probably more likely to crack.

    KVR is probably the better choice. They actually buy OEM Brembo Disc and Drill or slott them and re-sell it. Personally I would go for slotted becuase there are more surface for the pads to contact. Cross-Drilled is mostly for heavy, high Hp car need extra cooling. But then for $468 you can buy Pre-Drilled/Slotted Rotor from Brembo already. mind as well get Brembo instead. Only down side is Brembo is always back order.
    Hope this help

    I have KVR cross-drilled and they are great. I've had no issues with cracking, despite some heavy, emergency braking (damn those deer were close...) and wear has been negligible.
