I have StopTech drilled/slotted. Ive ran mine for about a year now, purchased through Rock Auto. Very happy so far with the quality and performance. Take a while to warm up but then they hook just fine & work great with my Hawk Ceramic pads for minimal brake dust. They have held up just as expected, no signs of rust ect. I do not daily the R, so these do not get daily abuse.

Pros: happy with quality, good performance
Cons: take a while to warm

STOPTECH Brake discs

We run a Stoptech BBK on the BMW 335 car that I race in endurance races (4, 9 or 12 hour) and we run either slotted or plain rotors, but never run cross-drilled. Our rotors last longer and we don't have the cracking issues associated with cross-drilled.

Pros: rotors last longer
Cons: cracking issues
Vehicle: BMW

I have drilled and slotted rotors on my MK7. I have never had any warping or cracking issues with them, or one any other car that I've ever had with them. Performance wise I've never noticed a difference between stock or drilled/slotted rotors except for in wet conditions. When it's wet out break feel is MUCH better with drilled/slotted rotors.

Pros: better break feel in wet
Cons: no difference performance wise

+1 for stoptech st-40s, they're slotted 328mm rotors and 4 pot calipers. Car brakes really nice. Kept the stock rears, although had to replace calipers at about 120k as they were starting to seize. If the car sits for a few days, the rust builds up (I assume in the slots) and makes noise . Goes away after about 30-40 miles. Not sure if drilled would be better. I definitely don't regret it, but modulation from the 4-pot isn't improved the way I thought it'd be. For the same price or just a tad more I could've gone with R32/GolfR/etc. front and rear, I'd probably do that if I were to do it again.

Pros: Car brakes really nice
Cons: rust builds up, makes noise
Mileage: 120000 km

Some of the best cost effect rotors on the market are Centric Premium rotors, they make most of the OEM rotors in the auto market (even Brembo too) but you won't pay for the brand name on them.

Pros: cost effective

That is not true. I have been running the StopTech BBK with 355x32 floating rotors (Z4M Coupe, 3275lbs + me) for over 2 years with 25+ track days on them and they have not warped.

Pros: not warped after years
Vehicle: BMW

We were able to start using Centric's at the shop I work at, and they are the best part we've seen for Asians and domestics.

Pros: best part we've seen
