Rotors
Mods if this is in the wrong section please move it. I am looking to buy new rotors and pads for my car for the track. I have the factory sport brakes. I either find very expensive or not so expensive rotors. I am wondering where you all are buying your rotors from. I would also like to know if they are sloted or drilled. It would be cool to get a list going so that others can benifit from this as well.
Have a great day,
Jared

Its very tough to find sport rotors anywhere, and I can't get decent prices on them from auto-parts stores...but rockauto has them for $34 or something like that. I still have 3-sets at home.

How about these as a retro?
Just kidding, of course... those are what I run on my 996TT. On the Spec Miata we're running just like everyone suggested... Cheapest solid rotor you can get...
Slotted rotors (Or pad wipers) are not really needed, and I would never run a cheese grater on these cars. Cross drilled rotors do one thing very well, remove pad material in an excellerated manor...
I can't add to your original post question, because I'm stuck with the Spec Miata rules book on my car. As we develop Bojanglincraig's car, I'll post where we get his brake upgrade kit and what it cost...
Good pad, high temp fluid (Motul of GS610 are my favorite) and brake duct cooling if it's allowed (which it isn't on the SM).
