I had a couple of rotors turned today. This is the second set of rotors I have been through.....stock rotors.
Maybe this has been covered in previous threads....I couldn't find any so excuse me if it has. In every ones experience what are the best rotors to use. It seems like the stock rotor steel is too soft and I am on my third set. I like driving the car in the local mountain roads on the weekends but after a while the rotors seems to ridge ( particulary the front) prematurely. Sorry no sexy pictures but it just seems like the stock ones go bad to soon. Rob |

Although I'm using Carrera slotted rotors with C2 calipers on a five lug set up and not a stock 4 system I had my rotors "frozen" when they were new. I built the car for street/track use and wanted a good brake system. Since finishing the car in March I don't have enough miles yet to tell about wear. I do have two DE's with them using race pads and several thousand street miles using street pads. At one time I used drilled rotors for street/track usage, but started to get heat cracks in them. Went with slotted this time and I think it was a good choice. Here is where I had mine done...... http://www.diversifiedcryogenics.com/index-2.html
