Thinking about getting Brembo Rotors
I'm thinking about getting Brembo Rotors for my Teg. The only problem is I cant decide which ones I should get; drilled or slotted? Which one is better? I know there are several debates on websites but one has to better than the other for overall performance. LMK what you guys think. Also....anyone know any websites that sell them pretty cheap?

Cross drilled rotors are good at dipersing heat during high speed braking which helps the rotor from possible warping over time.
slotted are meant to keep a fresh surface of the pad in contact with the rotor and avoid it from getting glazed making it harder to stop due to less friction, but in turn wears down your pads significantly faster.
im sure u already knew at least most of that but figure out what kind of driving you do the majority of the time and how often youd like to replace brake parts and the choice should be too difficult.

Cross drilled. Slotted it to release the gas between the rotor and pad that builds up when breaking. The gas also creates heat. However, the slotted will eat the pads faster. I personally would go with cross drilled only. Just my opinion.

I have Brembro Cross Drilled on my Hatch that I autox with and have been very happy with thier performance in alignment with my other brake mods.
nopi.com thier ecat is where I got them from, the warehouse is in ATL and so you aren't waiting a year a and a day or paying high shipping costs to receive them.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
