Hi'

I had to make that very same difficult decision today. I was considering the Endless 24 Slot 2 piece race rotors but finally went for the brembo cross drilled because of the huge price difference. I bought it from Lancershop. Got Endless pads though. Good Luck.

I have Endless 2-piece rotors, but they are six-slot. The 24-slot are 1-piece if I am not mistaken. For the price the Project Mu SCR Pros are good, too. Similar to the Endless (6-slot, 2-piece).

 

Brembo has a factory drilled rotor..... You should give it a try $380 at lancer shop

 

I need some new rotors as well and have not decided on which ones to purchase. It has to be said that lancershops customer support SUCKS ***!!!!! I have purchased thousands of dollars of products from them yet they still can not return emails.

 

If you're going to stick with a cast iron rotor, get the cheapest one you can find. It just needs to be trued and balanced properly. Anything short of 2 piece is going to be pretty much the same. Don't waste your time getting slotted or drilled rotors.

Slots fill up if you go to the track, because the rotor gets so hot that it literally pulls material over the slot. And no, you cannot just chip this out. It is solid iron. Waste of money.

Drilled? You're just asking for the rotor to crack. I'm not talking about surface cracks like even solid rotors will do. I'm talking about Death Valley type cracks that go through both sides of the rotor.

2 piece? Yum. Instant drop in temps. All of them have curved vanes to promote better flow too.

Thankyou for the reply Warren, I appreciate the advice.

 

yep, thanks also. I went with your advice and found the cheapest cast rotor I could find.

 

get two piece rotors with alunimum hats... cuz that's the only benefit of getting a new rotor... to reduce weight... the gas venting is a bonus.

 

I would go with the Rotora slotted IMO. Definetly stay away from the drilled. The brembo's are always nice but i think the Rotora you will have better luck.

Thankyou for the advice Chris. What turbo are you using to spin those #'s ?

 

stasis engineering has a great rotor setup.
two piece true floating hat rotor.
and for the guy who mentioned the only benefit
was weight on a two piece rotor, that's not the only
thing. the rotors are even cheaper than stock after
you have the center hats. then you are just buying
the rings, not the whole assembly. and assuming that
you are going to bigger rotors for track use and not bling
then you will definately be replacing them more than once.

 

Dont mind those numbers. That was on stock block with the GT35/40R. Get back at me next week. I will have the new engine fully built. Planning on 700whp at 40-45 psi and going to redline at 9000-9500 depending on how the dyno graph looks.

For the price of the two piece rotors that I have seen I couldn't make sense in buying them for daily driving. Are they really necessary for a daily driver that may see some track time and is the life expectancy really that much greater?
