I have also tested out detroit axles drill and slotted rotors. they are absolutely way thinner than I expected but still get the job done. I test them on daily driving and they hold up great in my experience. 4 months and going.
I run centric blanks on a focus st and even on track the rotors haven’t been the problem and focuses are extremely hard on the front brakes because of the ediff. Pads and fluid is where you want to spend your money upgrades on brakes
Look at raybestos R300 rotors. I use them on my wrx. They’re slotted with squiggles so they look cool, while not being drilled so they won’t crack. They also are apparently have higher carbon content so they Lee supposed to be able to handle heat better. They’re reasonably priced available on rock out and stuff. Then I use hawk HPs. A Good set of Pads will make a much bigger impact for you
I have heard from a few people now who do both autocross and lapping days to not get too fussed about rotor selection. Make sure your braking system is in good shape and replace parts as needed, but even the "cheap" rotors will do the job. I have a street/hybrid pad, relatively recent brake fluid, and Centric (I think) rotors off RockAuto. Been working well for me the past couple of years.
I installed Raybestos high carbon front rotors and Raybestos Element 3 rears on mine and they've been great. I'm using the Raybestos Element 3 pads as well.
I just recently did the back brakes at 37k and the fronts last weekend at 39k on my 2020 M340i. Dealer said rotors were at min thickness last June but I waited for the sensors to actually trip and even then I got 1k+ miles with a good bit of pad life left still. Went with Zimmerman rotors and OEM pads from FCP Euro and second that combo. I read too many hit or miss stories about non-OEM pads, I don’t track my car, and brake dust aside like OEM brake feel.
Yes. Replace the rotors with each service. I run Zimmerman rotors and either BMW or TRW pads.
I’ve been getting r1 concepts after the oem rotors warped, never had a problem since.
NAPA now carries brembo catalog. I ask for a price to see if they can even come close to FCP euro. some brembo 2 piece rotors for my car is what I had them run.
Tbh drilled Zimmermann Discs are imho Junk. They use OEM Discs. Had so many Problems with Vibrations, warped Discs and so on.
