Centric slotted are far better than drilled for performance

i have had all of the brands mentioned above other than centrix. never heard it and no interest either.
if it's my money, OEM rotor. done.
easy to get
available any where any day
saving a few bux and wait a few day more... i have no such patience.
oem may not last as long. it's one piece, fits, no assembling.
that's the front.



for the rear oe is really cheap.
if you really want to save that few bux and spend your time fiddling around... well, have fun at it.

The rotors on the pic went on in Sep-14 and have at least 30 days = ~100 sessions on them. Admitted, TWS is not very hard on brakes (use the skinny pedal stupid!) but Texas heat and a few long straightaways make for wild temp swings on the rotors.

By the time I'll replace these they will have a full year or 120+ sessions on them. Now that's what I call quality, never mind they are more economical too!

Oh and they are a direct drop in too, so no fiddling.

I can do that to a drilled rotor in a day on a NorCal track - drilled rotors suck. Slotted much better and doesn't have 100 stress risers on it

i need to get new rotors and i see $1015 for fronts and $1080 for rears on Suncoast. are you talking about a different OEM rear rotor?

edit: oh, and do you guys change out the Rotor Assembly Hardware Kit as recommended by Suncoast?

^ what car do you have? 997.2RS run turbo rotors in the back, much cheaper

yes, i change all hardware. i dont mess around with brakes. but my is converted to 5 lugs so i have no drive pins to change.

997.2 non-RS. does that mean the turbo rotors are a no go?

I have used them on a .2 non rs
Sonnen is probably cheaper than Suncoast.
