Brake discs ATE or Raybestos

Raybestos Brake discs

Look for rotors made from high-carbon iron. High carbon rotors are going to handle heat and resist cracking/warping better than normal grey-iron rotors. They don't have to be extremely expensive either.

Raysbestos Street Performance rotors are high carbon and probably available on Rockauto.

Pros: handle heat, resist cracking
Cons: normal grey-iron rotors

ATE Brake discs

Totally NOT recommending Brembo, totally recommending ATE disks with ATE pads with Ceramic, even cheaper but **much much** better than Brembo, from all standpoints

Pros: much better than Brembo
Cons: not recommending Brembo

ATE Brake discs

ATE disks I get come like this. The nice thing is the bits the pads don't ride on stay rust free for quite a long time due to the coating.

Pros: rust free non-friction areas

Raybestos Brake discs

For rotors, you’re lighting money on fire if you get anything other than a set of non coated blanks. You aren’t going fast enough, or running long enough sessions to get them so hot that you need drilled and slotted in an attempt to drop every degree you can off the heat sinks, especially if you aren’t pushing for the full session. A quick browse on RockAuto shows that the cheapest drilled and slotted is just under x3 the price of a Raybestos blank. You can warp a set every weekend and still be way ahead (I promise you won’t warp a set every weekend unless you’re abusing the brakes).

Pros: cost-effective, durable for normal use

I like the Raybestos E3 coated rotors but I'm in the rust belt. Stops the hat and edges+vanes from rusting for a couple years. The E3 pads use to be good but they changed the formula and moved from China to India and the last couple sets have squeeled during braking when hot or in reverse so I would personally recommend Advics or Akebono ceramic.

Pros: rust prevention
Cons: squealing brakes
