2G Reasonable Brake Rotors

[eclipse17psi]

Well right now im looking to buy a reasonable brake rotors in the market. I have look at the power slot rotors are they any good quality as far the pricing......It just that right i can't really afford the AEM brake system that i want. My stock rotor needs to be replace. i decided just to wait later on...And i just made a big purchased of DNP manifold w/ 40mm wastegate....ill post a picture of it later...........

thanks

I would look at iRotors.com for OEM sized Crossdrilled and Slotted rotors that are zinc washed to prevent discoloration. Its a little over 200 for 4 corners.

If you want Brembos, I looked at www.turboimport.com and they have brake packages that will come ith the PBR Metallic pads (which are harsh on the rotors).

I checked that turboimport.com site. I take it they buy the Brembo blanks and machine them? Slot & Dimple.

How reliable would that be in comparison to getting a set of slotted or drilled rotors from the factory? I've heard that it can reduce the strngth of the rotor if not done correctly(or if done at all).

Just curious. They seem to have good pricing on the stuff they sell.

With a nice set of brake pads I dont see slotting/cross drilled/or both doing a whole lot. Anytime you cut something it will loose strength, as to how much, well it all depends on how much is cut away. Id say to simply keep em blank and if you search around google and other various places you'll find out that most people simply run blanks to keep the strength of the rotor. If you just daily drive the vehicle and want something that looks a lil fancy then slotting/cross drilling/or doing both wont really hurt anything. If you do some hardcore racing then keep it blank. There have been MANY cases on people cracking rotors in high endurance racing from having their rotors machined. Just my 2 cents!

I doubt anyone will argue with me here, but i would say Powerslot Rotors with AXXIS MEtal Masters pads.
that is what i have.
go to www.roadraceengineering.com and check them out. they ahve the best prices for brakes that i have found. i really like mine. PM me if you have any more questions
stay with slotted or blanks though. try to stay away from drilling, because they are much more prone to cracking. i know people will argue with this, those who have them. and i am not saying that all of them will crack. but the fact is, is that slotted rotors have less of a chance of cracking compared to drilled.
good luck

Metal Masters have nice bite and work fine on the street (I had them, too, and liked them), but they cannot take any heat. One 45-second autoX run with left-foot braking and you'd better hope that the people organizing the event don't use a stop-box.
