I have a spare miata that I'm about to sell. It has drilled and slotted rotors on it.

I don't know what brand they are. I know some people have spoken of some slotted rotors warping.

I just daily drive, and was thinking of swapping them over to my car. What do you think?

 

All rotors warp w/ enough heat put to 'em and runout.
For a DD, don't worry and slap them on and forget about it.
Shouldn't have any issues.
I would tend to stay away from drilled rotors above all the others.
I think only issue really is that you can't turn slotted rotors, so it's a one time deal. Then get new discs.

 

That is what I was thinking. These are drilled and slotted as well.
This car was owned buy someone that had put money into it. Then a punk kid got it and flat blacked it with ground effects. I wounder if he bought china rotors.
If the rotors where put on before the kid, then they should be high quality.

They look cool.

 

Well, if you have them, wouldn't hurt to try 'em.
For DD, I highly doubt you'll get 'em hot enough to crack or warp.
Not an insult to your abilities....

 

Yea, I just hated to give up my factory's for a chance. But if they where to go bad. I'd just upgrade to 1.8L. Lol
I already have the back 1.8L, I just need the front mounts and rotors.

But for DD the fact 1.6L are sufficient for me. So I'm sure these drilled and slotted will be an improvement.
Thanks.

 

Call Gary at TDR for your front mounts and rotors....
He has quite a few spares laying around.
I just picked up some lightly used rear discs from him and he had a shelf full.

 

I had some cheap china drilled/slotted rotors for a while. (I was younger and stupider) Both the rear rotors cracked down the middle so I replaced them with stock rotors and haven't looked back since.

 

I guess I need to go home and look at them. If they are china brand, I'll just let them go as a bonus feature on the car.
What does Gary charge for the mounts and rotors? I haven't been there in a while.

 

Everything's really cheap when you pay in cash.
I'll find out for ya. I have to go there in the next day or two anyways for tech on the Noble.

 

I picked up a little beater in the dfw area off of craigslist a few weeks ago, it came with what I must assume are some cheap eBay rotors and they have been ok so far

 

Napa rotors for life. No one has been harder on them than me, and 3-sets have worked fine.

 

It wouldn't of been a flat black one nick named "THE Mad Max Mobile" would it? Haha

I don't think they where the ebays when I looked at them. They looked of quality. That is a great running car, if this is the same guy I sold it to.

Pm me if you are.
I meant to take those off and put them on my car.
I just ran out of time. LOL
