Looking For New Rotors

I'm debating which rotors to go with...

- Power Slot Rotors $153.24
These are off of the Nopi website..

- Racing Brake Rotors
Off of HeelToe

- Rotora's
From Excelerate

Which do you think is the best to go with? I've heard warping issues with the Rotora's... So I'm a little hesitant about purchasing them.

The Power Slot are the best deal and cheapest ones. But has anyone heard anything bad about them? or do you know anyone on the board whose using them.

Racing Brake seem to be the most expensive! I haven't heard anything from them!

I know there have been a few people who claimed their rotors were warped out of the box, but they are far and few in between. Now, there may have been a couple people who had warped rotors out of the box; it is going to happen. But I am willing to bet those few who warped their rotors didn't install them properly, didn't torque them properly, and didn't break them in properly. That being said, I have sold hundreds of ROTORA rotors in the past few months and have not had one person have a warped rotor.

i'm almost sure this is the main reason for the warping. sometimes you just can't get instant results from mods. just like people heading back to the dealer after buying a brand new car and going WOT.

I'll put in my vote for Rotoras. Had them for several months and not a problem.

Rotora slotted
Satisfied Pro Ceramic pads
Goodridge SS lines
Castrol fluid

Haven't had any of the others, but the Rotoras I have work just fine.

Rotoras with Axxis Pads.

Veeral, not that you will be disappointed with the Power Slots but the ROTORA's are excellent. I wouldn't recommend them to you if I didn't think they were a great product. I have sold hundreds of these rotors and I have not had any problems with anybody's yet.

Have you heard anything bad about the PowerSlots?

The main reason I'm going with the PowerSlots is cause my friend works at Nopi and I get a good discount on products. So I can get the PowerSlots around $120 for fronts...

I might go pick them up today!

I've used Power Slots on a lot of Honda vehicles. They always worked fine. I never used them though on a higher end luxury vehicle. I'm sure they will be fine.
