Brakenetic GT Series rotors
 

I'll probably get blasted for buying cheap eBay rotors, but I don't mind being the guinea pig. Besides, there seems to be two trains of thought: 1) Most rotors are essentially from the same blanks; just machined differently 2) Buying anything less than top shelf will kill you.

Without further ado, I present my new Brakenetic GT Series rotors:

Not much in the way of weight savings, with the fronts weighing ~30 lbs and the rears weighing ~19 lbs. I'll get these installed sometime this weekend hopefully.

I don't have any experience with aftermarket rotors, so I wouldn't know a quality slotted rotor if it bit me. If anybody wants info, more pictures, whatever, just let me know.

Posts in other forums say Brakenetics uses Centric rotors, then slot/drill as needed.

Sub'd to see how this turns out...:drama:

They'll be fine for street driving.

Any way to confirm? A stamping or anything?

I'll be trying these out on the track. I wouldn't be the guinea pig if I just cruised around town with them!

after shipping, were these cheaper than blanks from your local autoparts store?

I saw them on ebay for a little less than $500... sounds like I need to get into the brake rotor business if all I need to do is machine some slots into some generic blanks.

$500 for ebay rotors?!? For that price you might as well buy Z1 2-piece front rotors and save some weight, too.

The sports brake package rotor blanks are typically $59 apiece at the stores around here.

Not sure, I didn't check. A quick look shows generic rotors ranging from $80 to $120 at my local parts store.

Go for it, Z1 does the same thing.

These were $463 shipped. Z1 2-piece rotors would be $1,193 shipped. I know they're a good product, but not worth the extra $730 for my purposes.

For a daily, i don't know why you aren't using auto parts store rotors.

Those "slots" aren't doing anything for you on the way to the grocery store

hell

for a dual purpose car

I'd be running all-season tires, OEM level pads, autoparts rotors, and swapping in some 2 pc rotors, aggressive pads and tires when i actually need to go fast. No sense burning up the good stuff in traffic

This car isn't my daily driver. I drive it some weekends, and take it to the track maybe once a year. If I went more often, I'd probably have 2 sets of rotors as you said. Until then, I'll continue using one set of rotors and just change pads.

If you'll read my post again, you'll notice I specifically said front 2-piece rotors. The rears do less work but they cost more than the fronts because of the integrated e-brake drum.

At least the sprinkle slotted looks good.

I think mismatched rotors would look ridiculous. I'm guilty; I do care about aesthetics a little.

i have slotted brakenetic for 18k miles hard street and some track no problems and like other brands because they are painted they dont look like rusty **** after 3 days.
