The sales guy from rotora said they have some.....pricing TBA however and they only come in slotted or drilled-and-slotted.

List pricing for the 5AT front rotors are $115 and $135 each (per each single rotor), respectively.

since brembo makes the brakes just get the drilled or slotted rotors from them. look up a rotor that is the same size as the oem brembo.

here is a site selling drilled for oem bembos. i don't completely trust the rotora quality(no offense to anyone who has those brakes). i would rather stick to a proven company.

When are you going or how was your experience?

I've driven WG 3 two day events already and am going back this September.

Curious what you thought and or experienced and your run group and what club since I plan to get a TL 6 spd next spring.

Just FYI, you can "Season" rotors and "Bed" pads on the street Before you get there.

And if you dodn't already know, Seneca lodge is where to stay.

If you can help it, do Not get drilled or slotted rotors regardless of if they are from "Uber Over Priced Brembo" or some other.

Especially if you are tracking the car.

Get a solid Autozone replacement. They are wear items, and slotted and drilled rotors will not help you stop any quicker.

Have not gone yet i am going in Monday And i run with PDA this is the group i run with. As for the drilled or slotted rotor they do cool off faster than oem and they look nice as well

the drilled rotors will not help cooling that much and in fact might reduce the cooling effects. the holes are there to help the gases that are created during braking escape and does not perform any actual cooling of the rotor.(same thing with the slots on a slotted rotor). on a drilled rotor since there is less metal there is less surface area for the heat to dissipate. if you wanted a performance upgrade for rotors the slotted rotors would probably net some performance on the track using oem sizes. but if you wanted it for looks then the drilled is the better choice.

Bingo.

Cross drilled is now days more for looks and very minorly for wet weather ability.

Cross drilling in the past, Used to be for out-gassing, but todays pads do not require this.

Crossdrilled rotors are also prone to cracking more prematurely.

Slotted is for shedding pad material buildup but will decrease pad life.

I use generic Autozone blanks. I go through several sets a season on track.

They are wear items, I use quality R compound pads and season and bed in the rotors and pads correctly and get several weekends out of the rotors.

I've used OEM, HQ aftermarket and generic Autozone rotors.

For the omney and how often I go through rotors I'd much rather use cheap AZ's than uber over priced anything's. They do the same thing. HQ's last just slightly longer and aren't worth the price difference.

Good deal, have loads of fun.

I'm a NASA member and have been there as well as several other NE tracks for HPDE's.

Go with an open mind, take it all seriously, learn as much as possible and ABOVE ALL HAVE FUN!

I'll be there with NASA-NE in September for a 2 day and TT. And soon after at Limerock Park.

Make sure to report back and let us know how much fun you had and how the car did.
