Default Cheap Replacement rotors?

I need some new rotors. What are some cheap replacement rotors? How are Power Slot rotors? I can get them really cheap. Any other suggestions?

What's your definition of cheap? I already know people are going to say Autozone because they seem to be the cheapest available. I just got some Brembo blanks (front + rears) from Colletti for $217 shipped. Although more expensive than Autozone rotors, they're a lot cheaper than say, Endless or Spoon rotors.

Look into the Brembo blanks as CPR mentioned, or give Andy @ Cobalt a call about Cobalt rotors..

Stunnazone carries the larger legend rotors. I got mine for $17 each, and they're great on the track.

With all due respect I doubt Andie is going to beat $17 Autozone rotors. Sounds like the way to go for me.

Autozone rotor #3296. Don't try to fit a larger one in, otherwise you can't fit new pads.

These are $25 each.

Or you could contact Colletti motorsports for Brembo blanks:

Yeah, well money talks, so unless Andie is cheaper than $17 - $25 (since two people in this thread gave different prices) he ain't gettin' no call.

My information is the same as what Warren said. I was at an Autozone in Indiana in April and they were $24.99 each.

Autozone rotors cost $24.99 here too.

You can't use the larger legend rotors without some sort of modification, or like warrent said, with new pads. won't fit. so forget $17.

I have andie's $30 rotors. better quality than the autozones and holding up very nicely after four track events.

Personally I'd rather get quality products from Andie Lin than go to Crapperzone and get my rotors in boxes with holes in them and horrible service.

If you're saying Andie's rotors are a higher quality because they're lasting a long time with VR pads, I'd wonder whether it's the rotors or the pads that are causing the long life.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Or, it could also be the use of a proper bedding procedure.

Keep in mind that there are several different ways in which rotors eventually need replacement. They can crack, usually due to the high heat developed at the track. They can wear down until they're thinner than spec, usually after a long long time unless you're using very aggressive track pad compounds. Or, they can develop shudder, often interpreted as warping, but often actually due to uneven distribution of pad deposits on the surface of the rotor. This last cause can be avoided by proper bedding any time you replace rotors or pads.
