"good looking" Interesting way to shop for rotors

"little bigger than stock" Its not as simple as just throwing on some bigger rotors.


Brembo, and DBA make very good rotors.

race cars have drilled rotors because they want the benefit of having ALLOT of holes on a THICK rotor and need very fast cooling. The demand for this means that the downfall of having drilled rotors like them cracking can be overcome be replacing them almost every race.

properly slotted rotors do not weaken the rotors and let hot gas escape efficiently.

prone to cracking. i have r1 concepts drilled and slotted rotors. the fronts are actually just dimpled not fully drilled. they brake nice and smooth. i have inspected them after 1,200 miles and rotor runout is still within spec with no cracks. i'll do another inspection on them at 5,000 miles

I actually just put powerslots on my 2.2. So far they're great. I didnt have much time to enjoy them before we got hit with the snow here, but they had a good bite, nice and solid. I originally wanted drilled and slotted but once I heard the drilled are prone to cracking that changed.
