Default Brake rotors for S2k

I need new front rotors for my S2k. The prices vary widely from $60 on the S2k web site to over $200 from various other sites. What has been your experience with after market rotors. I am not really interested in cross drilled or slotted rotors. Thanks Gerryk

Well, i have PowerSlots, with Hawk HPS racing pads....280 shipped for everything up front. I really love them, and seem to have a little less fade after hard braking on the street, and esp auto-x days. I know you are not interested in slotted, but here are some pics anyways.

The only reason i wasnt interested in slots was b/c of the price. How bout the oems sold on this web site? Thanks for the pictures they look nice.

Cad-plated OEM-style rotors will also rust when the cad melts off under track use.

It is mostly a track use car so durability and toughness are paramount. my current rotors are showing small cracks 2ndary to hot pads. I have heard frozen rotors last longer than others.

Gerry, you can't beat the OEM style rotors from the S2KI marketplace. Cheap and durable, they'll work better than any of those bling bling rotors if you're going to use it on the track.
