Question Brembo, Power Slot or Stock?

I know a lot of people are going to say search but I tried and it wasn't working.

I am going to upgrade my rotors and here are my criteria. 60% Performance, 20% Practicality(Cost Efficiency/Reliablity), 20% Looks. I autocross some but it is mostly a daily driver.

Ok RX7Store.net has individual slotted rotors for $120 each and yet I can get their slotted and cross drilled for $90 a piece(Are these inferior?). I have found Power Slots (Slotted) for $105 a piece and free shipping. All of these options seem feesible but my question is about rotor reliablity. I have heard that cross drilled can crack between the holes and thus create a weakened rotor. My question is why would their cross drilled and slotted rotors cost $30 less per rotor than either the slotted or cross drilled when it seems like double the work to get done? Which one would you go with? The stock ones are only $60 or so a piece but I really like the looks of the slotted. Opinions please.

There's a reason this was moved the first time you started it.


We answered in your other thread.

I got the whole rx7store kit (x-drilled slotted rotors, Hawk pads and SS braided lines) and I love it. The brakes bite very hard, and don't fade on the street. I'm sure they would fade a bit on the auto-x course, but they work quite well and are very reasonably priced.

Sorry about that. I tried in vein, or at least I thought, at work to submit the post and it timed out so I assumed that it didn't get posted. I actually e-mailed my post to myself just in case it had timed out so that I could post it when I got home. Sorry for the confusion. I didn't even think to go looking for the other. Thanks for clearing that up.
