I was wondering what you guys think the best brand stock diameter slotted front rotors are? My drilled/slotted ones are cracked on the front, I got them from WS6 Store.

What do you believe you'll gain from the slots, aside
from appearance and stress-crack concentration?

I was thinking about 10rwhp, maybe.



You just recommend using a stock rotor?

I currently have brakemotive rotors. Theyre drilled and slotted. Mainly for looks since its just a DD, i dont think i needed the best of the best. However, they are noticeably heavier than stock rotors. Good budget brakes, but heavy.

Get the Baer EradiSpeed Plus rotors.

Are the ATE premium one rotors still available? They have an interesting slot pattern.. looks like an atomic symbol. They are definitely the best quality rotors I've ever owned and they resist rust much better than my old Brembo blanks. Those things rusted within a few weeks.

So what y'all saying is that slotted/drilled rotors are just a appearance doesn't assist in braking at all?

I believe they are discontinued. I tried looking about a month ago and Tire rack had the backs and various websites had the front but nobody had both so I would've been buying from different websites. If you find them let me know I wanted to go with them but it looks like I am going with Best Brand blanks from Strano....

EBC 3GD Slotted and dimpled rotors stock size front and rear, about $400 for all 4 rotors.

I have been trying to decide if the Best Brand blanks are worth the extra cost over NAPA blanks.

Any experience/opinions welcome to help me make a choice.

Thanks for the post, I think it will be money well spent to go with the Best Brand blanks.

i did drilled/slotted rotors from ebay, I think $200 shipped for all 4.
did it for looks since i had chrome rims and polished calipers back then, but after couple years around 20k miles they got super noisy and would groan especially the rears. i've since put my oem rotors and pads on which i had saved and things are quiet and normal.
I don't know if it was because they were cheap chinese rotors or if because they were slotted they got noisy, or the pads but i never braked the car hard and the rotors had no signs of heat, were smooth never pulsated like they were warped. and the pads i had were basically full when I threw them out. if you have a street car i would just get napa premium or any regular blank from a local parts store. biggest thing is make sure whatever you buy does not need to be turned prior to install, or go through the hassle of measuring runout yourself when installing. the drill and slot i think is a lot of bs when they claim performance benefits.

I did the brakemotive since they were so cheap it was hard not to try them. But my car isn't a DD and I wanted the bling. If they crack or warp fast I'll probably try the Baer's next.

I've got slotted rotors and no issues at all. And I DO beat the **** out of my brakes. I was up in the mountains this weekend and was doing hard accelerations and then hard braking on curvy mountain roads and had a fickin BLAST!!

Just a thought. Do a internet search and spend a couple of hours like I did on slotted rotors and read what they are good for.

Slotted rotors assist the gasses and debris being remover from the rotor pad area under heavy breaking and do help in breaking performance, UNDER HEAVY BREAKING.

Drilling a rotor is primarily for weight reduction. NOT recommended for street use due to the tendency to crack. Some people run them on the street but that is for looks they don't get any performance advantage from them.

Slotted rotors should not crack if they are machined properly.

You just quoted a 8 year old post, but I'm glad you like your rotor/pad configuration. I was thinking ove changing up my current blanks/ pads.
