rotors?

hi, I want to replace my stock front rotors to a slotted one, what aftermarket slotted rotors do you use on your EVO?

your feedback is very important to me, thanks.

Check out rotora, brembo, racingbrake etc.... I personaly went with the brembo slotted rotors. I got a good deal on them from adam @ www.z1auto.com. I havent installed them yet so i cant give you any personal feedback on them, but i have heard nothing but good things about them!

I have Stoptech replacement slotted. A very very reasonable price for reputable quality. I think I purchased mine from AMS in DC, they gave me a slight discount b/c I was purchasing other parts at the same time. It's not the aerorotors...peformance is just like stock, and it's about 3 lbs lighter than stock, and it would help if I wasn't running higher performance street pads (HPS) than stock pads. The best combo for these two (HPS + Stoptech slotted) is when the temps are up, and I drive on the highway to work everyday and rarely heat them up. I do use it on spirited mountain runs on the weekends and they dont' fade.

So in short, you would only notice a difference if you run a good pad, otherwise, just stick with stock, or blanks if you don't race, or do the hard canyon runs.

Looking back, these are very reasonable rotors to run since when I do plan on tracking it this summer, I'll just upgrade my pads. If the track pads eat the rotors, I won't be hurting as much as if the pads killed some $500 Project Mu rotors or something...

RacingBrake makes an AWESOME rotor, and the two pieces are as cost effective as anything of the more "elite" (Brembo) single pieces.

I bought StopTechs. Great price, I'd recommend those also.

Why do you want slotted rotors? I'd run flats if I could find them. Stoptech's are fine and reasonably priced, but for cheap you can't beat RaceShopper.com.
