I'm going to replace the front rotors on my 2017 PP. Lot of choices out there. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm having the calipers powder coated and will rebuild them so figured why not some slotted rotors.

I'm also thinking about doing this on my car before spring. I really like the Baer Eradispeed+ rotors, they're a bit pricey but it's a sports car what isn't? :cwl: Probably going to replace pas while I'm at it with some Hawk Performance Ceramics.

Here's some I found that have good reviews.

There was a discussion about it elsewhere recently. Drilled rotors crack but if you're buying for looks it doesn't really matter what you buy.
For "performance", if you're not tracking your car, stock rotors are just as good as everything else, except there are few slightly lighter options.

Would never buy Powerstop, especially something that's names "Street Warrior"

I guess we'll find out.

Biggest question to ask yourself is are you looking for a single piece rotor for looks/economy or are you looking for a more performance oriented solution and gonna spend a lot more for a 2 piece option?

if 2 piece, Baer, Steeda, Girodisc and DBA are all great options but probably 4x the cost of a cheaper 1 piece option.

Also, there is some misinformation/not updated info out there about the weight of certain brands.

Hope that helps, good luck and let us know what you end up with. :like:

Thanks for the reply. My car is strictly street. I show the car locally and am having my Brembos powder coated. I have a friend who has a Mustang he occasionally tracks and he's been running these rotors for a a while with no problems. He changes pads for track days. I won't have this completed for a couple of months but I'll let everyone know how it goes.
