I am thinking about going with the $170 rotors on WS6 Store. I would go with slotted because i hear that drilled are more prone to cracking. The rotors on my car right now are warped and pads are pretty gone. So my question is, is it worth my money to buy those rotors and hawk pads? Or should i just machine my rotors and put the hawk pads on, i can do machine the rotors myself at school for free.

Go with brembo blanks unless you want the slots/zinz coating for looks then get the slotted ones.

I was having the same question, my rotors are warped and I saw those on ws6store. But I found some blanks that are OEM for 134$. Does that sound like a deal and using Hawk pads? Atleast for the time being.

I love mine well worth the $204 shipped.

I have the Baer Eradispeeds and Hawk pads. Great improvement over stock.

Drilled and slotted are BOTH more prone to cracking than a solid rotor. If you are worried about cracking then just get Brembo blanks. If you want looks, don't drive your car very hard, and don't care if they crack go with drilled or slotted.

I would definitely get rid of the stockers....you can turn them and they will just warp again. The Hawk HPS are good street pads.

I got that set from the ws6store. I love them. No dust from the hawk hps pads.

I have been happy with my Powerslot rotors. I really don't know that the slots help or not but they have been through 25,000 miles, a set of ceramic pads, and 3 High Performance Driving events with no problems.

Hmmm i think i might just turn the rotors i have, but i will see how the cash flow is on payday. Definitely going hawk pads though. Thanks guys.

I think I'm gonna go with a slotted/dimpled rotor when I change mine... just make sure whatever you get, that the rotors are made with the slots/dimples/holes in them, for extra strength.

JamRWS6

Slots/dimples/holes are all known to weaken the structure of a rotor...not strengthen it.

A lot of people associate weak with the stockers because they are a solid piece....that is because the stockers have metallurgy problems. Solid rotors are inheritly stronger by their structure.

Holes and grooves in rotors just mean they are pre-cracked or warped.

I am in the same boat w/ warped rotors. Gonna buy brembo blanks but my question is what pads, i was looking at hawk pads but heard they can be noisy, any input???

i actually warped my powerslots...never had any cracking problems tho, hawk pads are def the best for the money on a street car

I love the $80 rotors I bought at Auto Zone because they perform just as well as pimp $200 rotors.

Hey Jamie, ltns... you going back to TAD anytime soon? From what I've read, it only weakens the rotors if the slots/holes/dimples are cut into them AFTER they are made... if they are made with the slots/holes/dimples in them already, that is their structure, and hence it shouldn't be any weaker than any other stock rotor. I think that's what Porsche/Ferrari/Lamborghini does for theirs, cuz I know they wouldn't put something inferior on their cars just cuz it looks pretty. But that's just from what I've heard.

Casting the rotor with the hole is stronger than drilling the hole into the rotors, but a rotor with holes is still not as strong as a solid rotor. There are some pictures floating around on here of Porsche drilled rotors (supposedly cast with the holes) that are cracked.

I have Brembo blanks, I've seen to many slotted and drilled rotors crack. Plus they are a little cheaper.
