I did the OE sized StopTech setup on my car in July. I really like them. I don't have a lot of time on them, but I'm happy with them so far.
End result: Threw in the towel, went with OEM-sized slotted StopTech rotors, and I'm done.
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.
Stop Tech drilled /slotted front rotors , Power Stop evolution carbon fiber/ceramic brake pads ..Raybestos solid rear rotors with Stop Tech ceramic pads (painted calipers n rotor hubs blue)
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.
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.
+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.
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.
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.
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.
