what kind of rotors to use???
ok so for the most part i a just daily drive my car. now for me daily driving is driving 80-100+ mph. i mostly drag race with the occasional trip to the nurburgring!!!

choices are:

stock replacement blanks

slotted only

or

drilled and slotted

i am leaning towards stock replacement since i dont road race or autocross very often but what do you guys think?

Hopefully there all shiny . i'd recommend the slotted, great for days on a wet track and doenst cause the pads to glaze over too much

Drilled and slotted.
Mine have been on my car for awhile, and when I took them off during my clutch job, they weren't cracked or anything.
Paired with ceramics, my car would put me through the windshield without my seat belt.

Stock blanks, or any other premium blanks. Slotted/dimpled/drilled is for posers.

So many times this. As long as it's a good vented rotor, everything else is just for show.

OEM blanks with powdercoated hats are fine. You really don't need slotted/drilled. Obviously the powercoated hats is just so you don't have to stare at rust.
