Default Summit drilled and slotted Rotors??

Are Summit Brand brake rotors any good? From what i hear, summit uses name brand stuff and boxes it different. Anyone with any experience with these?

If you are looking for actual performance, then get quality blank rotors and good pads. Drilled rotors are for looks, and can crack when abused.

If you are not doing lapping days then the drilled and slotted rotors aren't bad. If you plan on doing track days then white box rotors and good pads are the cheapest option.

I'm running power stop drilled rotors from summit. Had them on the car since 2004 NO CRACKS here. My car doesn't go out much but when it does it either WOT or on the brakes.

I used them when i did a ford 8.8 swap on my Jeep and they have held up. The rig gets beat on pretty regular on and off road. I also have done a V8 conversion to it as well.

blank rotors are great. lots of people run auto zone rotors and they work fine. My car has slotted but for street use there not need, except they look cool.
