Good OEM sized rotor

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a good OEM sized rotor. I only know of Brembo and Powerslot, but dont know which is better. I might just get slotted, or slotted and dimpled.

thanks

It all depends on how you drive. I've heard about cross drilled rotors cracking, and how some rotors cannot be resurfaced. Most car come with brembos stock (I think). I would not skimp on rotors since they stop the car. My friend has Arospeed cross drilled and slotted rotors and they work great. I'd say make sure, if you get the cross drilled rotors, that the holes are chamfered.

i do 50/50 highway city driving, sometimes spirited. Cross drilled definatly out of the question. Dimpled is the furthest I will go and i definately want slotted.

Yeah that's how I am. I want slotted only, but I have had no experience with them. I know someone on the Org can answer this simple question. The old Max is in need of some new rotors and I would also like some advise.

get the power slot or any slotted Brembo and you'll be okay...

(Make sure Power Slot are the ones selling Brembos though... There's two companies, Power Stop and Power Slot.. one uses cheap @$$ Made in China rotors, and the other uses Brembo cores).

Personally, I wouldn't mess with the dimples. you won't get any performance increases out of them, and it's definitely not going to make the pads or rotors last longer.
