So next summer it'll be time for some new rotors since mine are getting old and I'm replacing most of the braking system. Right now I have drilled and slotted rotors on the car, but I'm not sure where they came from since the previous owner put them on. I don't know how it feels to have plain rotors on the car, but I'd rather have cross drilled or drilled and slotted on the car. I've heard of a few places such KVR Performance Brakes, iRotor (which I've heard mixed reviews), Powerstop, and then there is the stuff off ebay. I want to know what you guys would recommend as far as rotors go.
P.S. I don't want to hear any crap about why you don't need cross drilled or drilled and slotted. It's my preference, if you don't like it, don't say anything about it. This post has been edited by mkernz22: Aug 30, 2012 - 1:55 PM |

I'm probably going to go with these ones, but I still have time to decide. I'd rather have through drilled instead of the dimpling because it'll help cool off the brakes more. I've had a few times where I've lost my brakes because I got on them too hard, for too long, and they heated up too much. I mean I'm also getting the MR2 Turbo Calipers for the front so it will definitely help with the braking bias and won't put as much stress on the front brakes. |

My Slotted setup on auto-x along with the ebc red pads gave me zero brake fade. Mr2 calipers would be a good upgrade --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |
