Aftermarket Rotors
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.

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 |
