Brembo blanks aren't anything special these days.

If you are looking for a great quality set of rotors that you can hold up on the track, I strongly suggest looking into the ATE premium one rotors. I've put a few kinds of rotors on my car including Brembo blanks and the ATE's by far feel like a superior product and they seem to have a good coating on the hat. Aka they won't turn into rust in like two weeks like the Brembo blanks will.

Might just go with OE blanks at this point. All i can find are drilled and/or slotted rotors

I'm running the powerstops on my car, while slotted, they have had no issues. I also scratched my head as they are stamped Brembo on the back...... Interestingly no cracks, while I did have some cracks form on the Brembo blanks that were on the car prior. Which had replaced the cross drilled and slotted Baer Decelarotors that cracked horrifically(thankfully had still been under warranty, new set went up on ebay instead of back on the car!)
So since my brake swap years ago, the powerstops were the best rotors out of the three. Just my personal observation.

In the same boat as the OP, been trying to find Brembo blanks for a couple days now, just not very up on who makes quality brake rotors other than Brembo, so my search has been kind of narrowed down to them so far.

Over the years I think the quality of Brembo blanks kinda went downhill.

You can look into centric blanks. They are pretty good. They are the makers of powerslots.

Brakemotive. Yes, they are slotted and drilled (usually) but I've been pleasantly surprised and have never had any cracking at all.

I'm running the RPMSpeed.com special RotoWorks drilled rotors. Been on the car for about 3 years, no complaints whatsoever and not a SINGLE crack.. I inspected them just over the weekend actually.

Can't complain about the price, and they're from a sponsor http://rpmspeed.com/93-02-ls1-lt1-v6...cturers_id=166

Where did you pick up your ATE rotors? I was looking into them and it looks like Strano stopped carrying them and tirerack did as well...

My Baer Eradispeed rotors went on in 2002, been my daily driver since. Well over 100,000 miles on them and they are still fine with no cracks. BUT.....they are ready for replacement.

I can't believe Rotoworks rotors are only $170.00 for all 4.....cross drilled and slotted. They look nice.

That's a good question... I got them from Stranoparts. But now they aren't on the website. I'm not sure why though.

The rotor coating has held out pretty well though. Anything that doesn't rust after 1 month is impressive to me
