Looking for rotors for daily use. I'd like some that don't rust all to hell like the stock ones do. Suggestions? Cheap places to shop?

 

I have Racing Brake rotors

Here's a link
http://raceroots.com/index.php/produ...e-upgrade.html

 

Other vendors have the same rotors and don't have a derogatory past.

I think its time for another "RaceRoots comes clean" thread Bump

 

^lol

Depends what you consider cheap I sell the Front and Rear Rotors from Racing Brake for $450 shipped

I do bundle specials so PM me if you are interested in getting brake pads and SS lines

 

I like my Racing Brake slotted/curved vane rotors from Race Roots.

All rotors will develop 'flash" rust after getting wet. It 'burns off' the first time you subsequently use the brakes.

btw: I also like Hawk Performance Ceramic brake pads (also from RR). Low dust and almost silent operation.

 

+1 for Racing Brake rotors, talk to Rishie at auto r n d , he's who hooked me up with those, hawk ceramic pads, and SS brake lines.
Excellent vendor

 

i recently got r1 concepts slotted drilled rotors and hawk hps pads and love them

 

I just placed an order for pretty much the same package as in post number 2 from RR. And yes I know about the past occurrences and the thread. But to be honest he has some good prices and ive always had good communication with him and fast shipping.

 

For daily driving, I've always thought solid rotors make more sense. More surface area = more heat transfer = more stopping power, at least for daily driving conditions.

 

Centric Premium Rotors.... cheap and i beat them to hell with autoX, they also come with painted hats so they dont rust at first rain..

the newer OEM rotors ordered from Mazda are painted black in the centers so there is no more rust problem.

 

how about the r1 concepts premium drilled and slotted? they are pretty cheap at 275$ with the club deal

 

I have drilled and slotted all the way around. If I recall I spent like $250 for them new about 2 years ago. I don't recall where I found them but just search around you will find a cheap set online somewhere. Good luck.

Hey thanks for the recommendation- looks like the type of street rotor I was looking for

 

Had the wheels off the other day while getting new tires put on. Took the opportunity to measure my rotor thickness and check pad life. Still enough life left on both to hold off on them for a bit longer. BUT when its time for new rotors, I'll be going with Centric. Cheap and very effective it seems.
