Hello,
It's time to change my rotors and I wanted to see if anyone had any feedback on replacement rotors?
I would like to keep my stock calipers and change my rotors to slotted, drilled or dimpled? Any suggestions on what type are the best and which brand I should buy that will provide good performance at a reasonable price?

I answered you in your post in the other thread before I saw this one.
-Stock rotors with stock calipers and pads work just great. For bling, try to find a set of brand name rotors like Stoptech. Big brake kits are even more bing and for this car, they won't necessarily stop any better and you will have to get new rims. There isn't a BBK that will fit under the stock rims. I've looked. Even the Spoon calipers used with the stock calipers won't fit under the stock rims.

Thanks for the info...
I was looking into Power Slot or DBA rotors to replace the stock ones. Any feedback on those two brands or any other that you are aware of that are good??
The rotors in the link you provided look nice, where are they from?

He's raised his price a bit since I got mine for $300.00
I've heard good things about Power Slot. You should do a search for brake rotors and check out some of our sponsors here who may be running a special on these things.

I bought power-slot from Xlevel mostly because they were the same or less cost than OEM. They've been fine for me. I don't track it, so no experience there. The slots have not seemed to wear the pads any more than usual, although I'm surprised at that since the edges hit the pads . . . but so far the pads are wearing slowly.

Thanks Guys!!
The stock rotors are just fine for most applications. Get better pads, better fluid and SS lines.

I use Powerslots on my Integra, and have for years. No problems ever, I love them! My 2 sets have survived the dragon 4 times, as well as a ton of autoxes and a track weekend with no issues.... I haven't however tried them on the S yet, but it is due for brakes and they are what I plan on getting.
I was recently informed that Stoptech bought out Powerslot. Can anyone verify that?

I used DBA high heat rotors and so far so good!
