Best slotted/drilled rotors for the price?
Looking to grab some new rotors and pads while the evo is down. Whats the best brand to go with for some slotted and drilled rotors w/o paying an arm and a leg.

If someone can add a link to an exact one that would be great. Thanks

I went with the ones on lancershop brembo drilled front an back rotors just under 900 for all four I believe. Most pointless thing I ever did on the evo as far as I'm concerned lmfao as raptord said I did it for looks. I find it's pointless to do besides that.

This.

What sort of use does your car see?

Save some money and buy Centic premium blanks. Don't buy the cryo treatment ones. Just the basic blank ( non slotted/drilled) rotors. It's what you will see on most stock brembo track cars...

As mouseIX stated, blanks are great.

I went with lighter two piece rotors to help save weight, hence the question as to your needs for the car.

DBA 5000 front and 4000 rear slotted only. I noticed drilled crack around the holes at heavy track use.

Brakemotive is a Chicago based company that makes rotors in house (in Chicago) they kryo treat them against rust and sell all four slotted and drilled rotors for around $200. I've run these rotors for a year without any warping or any issues at all. They are a little on the heavy side but definitely no heavier then the stock ones. Plus you would be supporting a local company. Look 'em up on Google and good luck with the hunt.
