Brake Rotor Recommendation - Street and Track

loufitness · 11-03-2017, 09:56 PM

Time to replace my rotors. Looking for recommendation on the Brand (and type) of replacement rotor for use on with OEM Sport Brakes. I run CarboTech XP10/XP8 on Track Days (4 to 6 times per year) and 1521 (Bobcat) for daily driving. I am looking for recommendation on "quality" rotors that will withstand the Track.

What's your budget? I love my Z1 slotted 2 piece rotors. 10 pounds per corner saved in the front, I think 4 or 5 pounds in the rear. That's a good bit of rotational mass.

Budget is "Moderate". But I am not really interested in 2-piece at this point. This will be my first Rotor replacement...and I am just looking for quality blanks probably. I can see advancing to 2-piece as my skills increase on the track....but necessary just yet. I have significant Brake Shudder from my last 2 track events (in the rain)...and I need to turn the rotors to get the deposits off or just go ahead and but new rotors.

One piece rotors. Centric, or EBC. EBC is more money. Alot of guys run the Centric because they are a cheap replacement. They don't want to spend the money for a 2 piece rotor.

Frozen rotor's blanks working well at the track so far. Imo I'd stick with cheap blanks.

Any merit to getting the "high carbon" series or Cryo-treated?

I've got all 4 of my oem sport rotors just off and they are like new. Shoot me an offer if you want.

try stoptech rotors

+1 on the high carbon.
Made my XP8 pads last way longer than the OEM originals. Grooves were not quite as deep either.
Will be switching back over and staying with them once I burn through my slotted rotors. I've only seen them for the front though.

I like the StopTech 2 piece slotted.

On sale here for $695 (about $200 more than when I got mine about 2 yrs ago)

If that's for 2 rotors , then it's not a bad deal.

That's for a set of fronts.
