I'm trying to figure out what kind of rotors to go for, I know Brembos are generally the best but are there any other good brands?


I'm not going anywhere just yet

I have been running Baer rotors for 2 years without an issue.

Powerslots are good
especially when paired with hawk hps pads (ran that combo in my last J).

Stainless hoses are fun too (better pedal feel) but not required

Check out DRT. They don't make their own rotors, they use Centric Parts, which is a quality stock replacement supplier, and they drill/slot and powdercoat them at their own shop. I haven't driven on them myself, but I picked a set up for someone I know last spring (the shop is in Lowell, MA). I believe he was pretty happy with them. I've heard no complaints. I will say that the quality of their work looked very good, as I was able to check out a lot of rotors they were packaging for customers while I was there.

Reason I will never use Baer Decela's ever again... you can see how bad they cracked. the one actually broke a chunk out when i dropped it after i pulled it off the car. they crack because they are not cast with holes, they are drilled after.



Cryo Treated Powerslot Rotors with Hawk HPS pads. Will never go any different.

Now i have seen proof, thanks Boosted.

How long were they on the car? My Baers have been on for 2 years(20k miles atleast).
