Default Front Brake Rotor Replacement - Slotted

Well, as it has been well noted previously on this forum my stock cross drilled rotors have formed significant cracks due to the stress of multiple track days. I am looking towards replacing them with a set of slotted front rotors and wanted to see if anybody could share their experiences with them. I know of the two piece RR-Racing setup but would like to know of any one piece options (read: cheaper) that some people may have experience with. If you have any suggestions please let me know! Thanks.

Have you installed them? How do they fit and perform?

^^^^Those look drilled to me I have had my Adams rotors for close to 6 years now. Though I hated their customer service, painted hats, substandard packaging and their general surliness, I have had absolutely no issues with their rotors, except the flaking paint issue. The paint is no longer an issue, since it has worn down over time.

I also was not happy the way the forum moderators reacted to my frustration with Adams.

I thought they were drilled at first as well but further down the search page I found the same part number as slotted. The picture shows a slotted brake with a 4 lug setup though. Hmm...

I missed the part you want them slotted instead of drilled.

These are the ones I bought, I bought them today but a lot of people told me they were good.

Thanks for confirming, yeah I'm looking for a slotted rotor to prevent the cracks that form on the drilled rotors. I can find the OEM rotors for ~$100/piece but wanted to see if there were any decent slotted options for around the same price.

Same here Andrew, I asked around on the ISF FB groups to see if anyone has ran slotted rotors. Not just slotted rotors but to see what else is available since StopTech has ceased to produced slotted rotors for our ISFs for a while.

Anyone use Brakenetic?

I might...

I don't hear any bad things about Centric Rotors. I put them on my dad's 1LE Camaro and he hasn't complained. I have the RR-Racing slotted and like them a lot, however, have yet to track my car.

Do you have a link to the exact rotors? I would like to go slotted but given the OEM rotors are so cheap I might just stick with them unless a decent slotted set that's reasonably priced are found.

These are what I've found. A few weeks ago they announced ISF rotors on their IG when I was searching ISF rotors.

Nice, those look promising and aren't priced too much more than OEM replacements. Anybody else ever heard of Brakenetic or had experience with them? I quick eBay search doesn't turn up much information.

Their marketing is full of crap. Holes only promote cracking and nothing else with modern brake pads. I would gladly buy rotors with slots, but never happily buy rotors with holes because they offer absolutely nothing but cracking. AMHIK.

Brakenetic has a 3 versions of the slotted only rotors and I am considering this one - https://www.brakenetic.com/product/f...ors-bprs93029/

I am trying to get away from drilled rotors because of the cracks that are forming on my OEMs. Any input about the above Brakenetic rotors or the company is appreciated.
