Thread: Rotors

I am needing to do the brakes on my GP & there is plenty of good info on the pads out there for our cars, but what is everyone's recommendations on a good set of rotors without getting into all the larger upgrades? I realize everything is manufactured in china now

One of the ones I keep coming back to the durago electrophoretic rotors. I like the way the coating sounds, it appeases my bling bling craving with the black centers & black vanes that match my black car, but there isn't a whole lot of information out there on them. Has anyone here actually used these rotors?

I usually just stick with R1 Concepts rotors and a set of their scorched pads.

Never heard of DuraGo rotors before. Might have to check those out.

They are listed on rockauto. The company has only been around maybe 15 years. I was also looking at the Raybestos specialty street performance rotors too though they are more money. I know Raybestos is usually good, but again not a whole lot out there on those specific rotors.

I've seen a number of the fellow members on here like R1 concepts, but I personally don't trust anything like that on ebay. I will admit I was tempted by the Powerstop Z23 kit since they have a rebate going right now, but after all the reading I've done I think I would prefer to stick with a good solid rotor over a swiss cheese one

Good call on the napa's. Their rotors are made by brake parts inc who own Raybestos and they appear to be the same. I'll have to call over there to see what their pricing is compared to the Raybestos with shipping on rockauto
