Default Replace Rotors

Guys, I need new rotors on my Base Z. non-Brembos. What is the best way to go without spending too much. So far i got quoted $160.00 for the two oem front rotors. I want to go slotted, what is recommended?

You can find cross drilled and/or slotted rotors anywhere for around 200 or so, and thats for all four. I purchased some cd and slotted rotors on ebay for about 210 for all four, they look nice and believe it or not, ive had them for a year and no issues. But there are much better kits like stoptech out there too, then again youre gonna pay for it.

Have you tried the Stoptech website? They offer non-BBK upgrades. I haven't checked on pricing though. Not sure how much they run for.

I got R1 Concepts Drilled/Slotted Rotors for the front and rear for $187 Shipped. I installed them about 3000 miles ago, and have thus far been very satisfied. They were zinc-coated to prevent rusting on all-non contact areas, and so far have held up great.

i am a big fan of powerslot rotors. i got them cryo'd from powerslot/frozen rotors and they've worked great on the street and on track. i think it's a good option in the mid-price range (compared to el cheapo vs. uber expensive rotors).



i am retro fitting oe brembos and am using cryo'd powerslots again
