Strongest Stock Size Rotor

One of my front Brembo rotors cracked only after 9 months of use. Yes it is drilled and slotted but 9 months is a very short amount of time so im pretty surprised/annoyed. In any case, I'm shopping for 2 new front rotors but this time I want to get something strong.

Which rotors out there are the strongest? The ones I found so far that fit the stock calipers are Brembo and Powerslot.

Just get solid or slotted vented rotors. The Brembo blanks at only $60 each (or less) are a great deal. I would also question how you are driving the car, if you cracked rotors in pure street driving in only 9 months....

Oh yeh I should have mentioned the car was used in about 8 autox events some of which, it ran as a dual driver car. otherwise, the car's only had about 4k miles since I put the rotors on. I think I'll try slotted next. Is it safe to say powerslot and Brembo use the same material?

you might try cryo treating them, that should make them somewhat harder.

I have brembo drilled, its been nearly a year with no cracks yet.
