which rotors to upgrade, J hook or slotted?

I just bought a set of J-Hooks………..too bad my next track event is in April.

open slotted rotors?

Ive just used the J hook rotors on a track day, I can confirm they make a significant improvement in inital bite and feel. Didnt glaze the pads either like my stock rotors did.

As for noise I was initially concerned as my car's a daily driver but Ive barely noticed any difference vs stock rotors so far.

The HPS pads are quiet, the HP PLUS are not.

Thanks corrected

Try rebedding your pads, should quiet it down for a little bit.

thanks for the replies everybody have ordered the J-hook rotors and SS lines, since snow is about to start falling here, I will have to wait a few months before I can review them, but already looking forward to doing the install.

yup, I like mine a lot and they don't make much noise. Good choice

What pads are you using with your J-hook rotors?
