I've had EBC slotted rotors on my Crosstrek for almost 100,000 miles now, and they may have been cheaper than OEM rotors.
I do oem for nearly everything. Rotors are not one of them. PowerStop Evolution rotors are OE weight and quality with a zinc coating for corrosion at a decent price. I think I'm on my 4th set over a decade and two cars.
Short answer, oem rotors are not worth it. Brake pads and rotors are one of the areas the aftermarket is great at. I have been happy with Power Stop geomet fully coated rotors. They cost basically the same or a dollar or two more vs the semi coated on rockauto.
Not including labor, I spent like $400 for PowerStop Drilled and Slotted Rotors + Brake Pads for all 4 wheels.
I've also ordered a full set of the EBC USR rotors and will install them myself, same with the splash shield and door seals.
Good but get the coated rotors if you live somewhere with winters. They last me much longer than the uncoated ones.
I got some with regular rotors worked amazing this past year. Would buy again tbh.
These are good. Get the rotors without the holes if you can.
So my rotors seem to be warped on my 2020 Civic Si, at least I think so. They feel alright with very light braking, but any amount of hard braking immediately causes wobbling. Pads are definitely low, only about 2-3 mm left, so I figured I should just replace the rotors anyway. I just ordered EBC's Stage 5 kit that comes with slotted and dimpled rotors and yellowstuff pads front and rear for $500 due to good reviews on the Civicx forum. However, I'm reading a lot of people say that slotted/dimpled simply is not worth the extra cost for a street car. I drive pretty hard in the mountains and have felt a pretty substantial amount of brake fade at times so I figured I could definitely benefit from some better heat dissipation, but now I'm starting to regret my decision. Am I wasting my money?
Had them on a Mazda3. Developed pulsation within 3 months.
