which rotor to get?

Im looking at the czp rotor(slotted and drilled) or the stoptech rotor(drilled)
The czp rotor seems a little more expensive, but the stoptech rotor is painted black in the middle and looks nicer.
Which rotor is better?
anybody has any experience with these rotors?

Check out DBA rotors. Good quality, reasonable price, especially the 4000 series.

^^ those look good. IMO for street application drilled is overkill and I'd worry about them cracking. Slotted dissipates a little heat and look nice, too.

Stoptech (which is basically also a Centric Premium) rotor is a very high quality rotor. I have the Centric Premium blanks on my Brembo coupe and have been extremely pleased with them so far. Also very reasonably priced. You can get them from Rockauto.com or Tire Rack too. There's no real need for slotted or drilled on the street, and in fact you lose braking swept area.

If you drive hard like I do it's nice to have the extra stopping power of slots. These are great rotors and are built extremely well.








I'm scared of drilled rotors breaking on me even though they do look good.

love how the drilled rotors look! But im really worried about them cracking. Has anybody experienced with stoptech drilled rotors?

I mostly want the drilled rotor for looks only. Im not sure if it would increase the ablity to stop. Ive read mixed reviews about drilled rotors how they work or they dont work. Anybody know the truth????

also how are the hawk hps pads?

Ive also read that slotted rotors would make alot of noise.

Hawk pads are terrible. I had stillen rotors (forgot the name) and hawk hps pads on my g35c. I can't tell you how many close calls I had with hawk pads. Try project mu pads.
