Element3 rotors are A++
Pros: excellent performance
I've had great luck with Raybestos Element 3 rotors..
Pros: great luck
For rotors, you’re lighting money on fire if you get anything other than a set of non coated blanks. You aren’t going fast enough, or running long enough sessions to get them so hot that you need drilled and slotted in an attempt to drop every degree you can off the heat sinks, especially if you aren’t pushing for the full session. A quick browse on RockAuto shows that the cheapest drilled and slotted is just under x3 the price of a Raybestos blank. You can warp a set every weekend and still be way ahead (I promise you won’t warp a set every weekend unless you’re abusing the brakes).
Pros: cost-effective, durable for normal use
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Raysbestos Street Performance rotors are excellent. They are high-carbon and better able to manage heat and resist warping and cracking than ordinary grey iron rotors.
Pros: high-carbon, manage heat, resist warping
Raybesto Elemental rotors. You wont have to deal with rust on the hats anymore.
Pros: no rust on hats
I'm running Raybestos R300 slotted rotors and Powerstop Z23 pads on my 4/2 Brembos, from Rockauto. No complaints or squeals. Holds up really well with repeated heavy braking in the twistys too.
Pros: No squeals, holds up well

Since enrolling in the daily death-race a year ago, I've: Replaced the Serp. Belt and idler, adjusted the valves, changed CVT oil and its filter a couple times, swapped O2 and Mass airflow sensors, replaced front brake rotors and pads, upgraded headlamps and added an Acura switched light for the rear so I can turn it off and leave the hatch open. I've got the set of drums and pads for the back waiting for a good day - that should fix whatever caused the parking brake to seize until I stopped setting it last winter.
Pros: easy repairs, good performance
Cons: parking brake seized
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 180000 km
