Default which rotors!

So i painted my calipers red this weekend, and it looks hot!! but some nice drilled/slotted rotors would look ten times hotter, so i was wondering which company makes good quality performance rotors for a decent price, hopefully no more then 300!

Powerslot slotted rotors are the best aftermarket rotor on the market, IMHO. They are really well made and the price is pretty good. I'm sure you can buy something cheaper, but I don't know anyone who buys brake components and says, "I want the cheapest I can get." I mean these are your brakes.

Drilled rotors are ok for show purposes but offer no performance gains (at this level of performance), so don't spend extra to get drilled discs unless you want that particular look.

haha, i hear ya, i didnt want CHEAP rotors per-say just wanted a good price, i was lookin at powerslot rotors on hopupracing.com and they have an oversised rotor kit that works with stock calipers by changing the rotor mounting points, i really dont see what good relocating the caliper would do, what do u think about this?

Bought mine off Ebay for a decent price. They came in a choice of painted colors. They have caused no problems or undue pad wear. They come with a plating for corrosion and high quality construction. There is definately extra stopping power with the OEM pads. Not sure about fade as I haven't road course yet.

Ya can see from the pics that I have both. True about some Ebay stuff. You just have to know what your buying and what quality it should be for the price. A median price is about as low as ya want to go when it comes to quality. I will try to find the price and the vendor and post.

Bouught them thru their Ebay store. Same place. You can really feel the difference in grip. No need to down shift to slow down hard.
