I swear by regular DAP blanks.
What are you planning on using your car for? AutoX? Drag racing? HPDE?

If just daily driving. Save yourself the money, grab from OE Equivalent blanks from the DAP. If you want cool factor, those do look pretty cool.

Call Mike Kasser over at the WS6 store and see if he has had any feed back on them. He wont BS you if he has had any returns or complaints on them, he is a straight up guy and is as honest as they come. They dont like negative feedback.

Well those look fine.. I bought similar ones off of ebay that were like 145 shipped. They came with ceramic pads too. I have had them on there for like 4 months now and they stop the car really good. I was laying on it out on the highway a few weeks ago doing a little over 150 and i had to hammer on the brakes really hard. There was traffic slowing up for a retread in the road, i didn't think it was going to stop in time. But it stopped really quick and the rotors never got warped or anything. I haven't had it over 65 since..lol

I've been using those roto-works silver rotors for about three years now and wouldn't change a thing. The car is daily driven but seens lots of quarter mile and some twisties. The brakes hold up real well in the corners once my pads are heated up. That's what it really comes down to, the Hawk HPF pads I run if they're cold you have zero brake but if you can get some heat into them and warm up the rotor, man its a wicked setup.

Highly recommend those things, they're a killer value. If I cant resurface mine this year I'm going to buy another round of the exact same things.

I was just looking into these not too long ago, was thinking the same thing. about the rotorworks. I've had EBC's on mine for the last 2yrs kinda warped coming down from a 120+ish run rather quickly. made the mistake of putting cheap ceramics pads on so lesson learned and time to find a replacement.

these caught my eye too.

I like the power slots a lot, ran them for 8+ years now, and they've always treated me well.

DAP (Discount Auto parts).
Any normal local parts slinger. If you are dying for the drilled/slotted/colored look, then knock yourself out. I have/had gone through brakes pretty quickly in the past and so that's why I stuck with a normal OE Replacement Rotor, style points aside.

I use the brembo blanks with hawk pads, not too expensive, no rice, and they do the job.
