I loved my R1 Concepts drilled/slotted rotors, but I know some people haven't had such a great experience with them. Just stay away from straight up ceramic pads if you don't like squealing and brake dust.

Rotora Slotted with H2 ceramic pads, very happy with them. Not loud at all except in the rain then they make a little noise, but not a squeal, just a little rough.

The BBK's are nice, but unless you are autocrossing, they are more than you need.

Changing the rotors to get rid of morning squeek is overkill. Learn to warm up the brakes in the morning to knock the crap off of the rotors and pads and save your money for more important things.

So how DO you warm up the brakes, one hard brake, a long drawn out light brake? what exactly is involved. Learn us.

Actually in comparision to all the other BBK's out there ROTORA is one of the best bang for the bucks and least expensive.

To the OP ROTORA Slotted Rotors and Ceramic Pads are a great option.

I disagree, my bbk has proved its worth numerous times on the road, and I am not the most aggresive driver on the block.

Since the CL loves to warp rotors even if you hover your foot over the brake pedal.

ROTORA Slotted Rotors are outstanding! Snaps has over 40k miles (2 CL-S'S) on his and they STILL haven't warped, and he isn't easy on the brakes.

I will attest that these are some fine Rotors.
