Rotors

[Rex03SVT]

What are some great direct replacement drilled/slotted rotors? I have been looking at the Powerstop Z26 set they have good reviews and are very affordable.

I went Stop Tech drilled & slotted. They make correct sizes for a 13-14. I got them online and they were under $500 shipped. Very happy with the quality and look.

Do you do any type of racing? Autocross, road course, back road high speed?

If any of these apply i recommend DBA, Giro, baer rotors. And you choice of pads. I personally had good experience with Hawk 5.0 and HPS with street and track.

While we are in that area, did you retain the OEM brake pads or...?
Thanks

I don’t race it, so I’m not really looking to spend the $1500+ on a set of rotors/pads right away. Thank you though, I’ll do the research on those you recommended.

Awesome, those are the ones I was looking at because of the good price, just wasn’t sure how they performed considering they’re about $3-400 cheaper than the others.

I did Carbotech matching ceramic pads front and rear to reduce dust. This combo was NOT as good on a road course as the OEM rotors and pads. I went this route strictly for the looks of the rotors and less dust from pads.

Thanks Tom.....good enough for us "street cars" though?

Definitely street friendly and adequate. I tried them on a road course and they didn't bite as well as the OEM rotors and pads. I run them on the street now and very happy with them.

Sounds like more of a function of the pads vs rotors themselves? I know Centric/Stoptech makes variants with high carbon and or cryo treatment, not sure what that would do outside of longevity.

Where did you pick up the rotors?

Why drilled and not just slotted?

It is probably more the pads than the rotors. Although, I would never run these rotors in a hard track environment.

I actually found the correct part numbers and just did a google search for them. I believe the lowest price was a foreign car hot rod shop. I figured what the heck and they were at my door in a couple of weeks.

In my case they were for looks and no performance, so drilled and slotted it was! If I was doing performance I would probably just get solid. Maybe slotted, but doubt it. Definitely no drilling for track duty.
