Default Question on Rotors guys...

I've been reading up on rotors, my stock ones suck ***. From what I've read, the cross drilled, slotted, etc. rotors aren't what there cracked up to be and just wear sooner, etc.

I read where someone was using Brembo OEM replacements, just wondering how those were and if these were it. Thanks.

I have Brembo OEm Blank rotors and Hawke HPS pads that I bought from TireRack. They are holding up well for me. Some on here have logged AutoX time on these rotors and like them. I personally haven't done AutoX, so I cant comment on their durability there though.

You've seen my cross drilled and slotted rotors and they have 20,000+ miles on them, look almost as good as the day I got them.

I've beat on those Brembo rotors with very aggressive race pads (think "glowing orange" rotors) and they work great. They are probably one of the best rotors out there for these cars.
