Hello All, I've used the search tool and couldn't find an answer, so if I missed the thread and it exists, please post it here.

I am looking for new set of rotors that I can use for both street and track pads. I do about 2-3 track weekends per year, so 90% of the time I'm driving on street with OEM pads. However, a few times per year, I will put on track pads (EBC yellow stuff) and take the F-Type to the track. When I get home, I will swap back out and replace with OEM Pads.

I know there is mixed feelings about doing this, but I properly bed the pads at each swap and I measure the rotor thickness to make sure I'm still good.

So the question is what brand and style of rotors to use? I've see the posts about wortec, but i'm not interested in spending that much for a set of rotors. I've seen several different options from Centric/Stoptech (I believe they are the same company) and the OEM rotors, and that's about it. Are there any other options out there? Does anyone have any experience with the stoptech stuff? Drilled? Slotted? Cryo?

Thanks!

 

If only 10% or less of my miles were track, I would stick with the stock setup. It does just fine.

 

The main other option I know of for F-Type rotors is R1 Concepts.
Lots of members on the XF sub-forum have fitted them and like them, they are reasonably priced and they do a range of rotors for the F-Type.
Not sure about how good they are for track work though.

 

I'm going to order new rotors to run with fresh Porterfield R4 race pads...can't decide between R1 Concepts and StopTech. Anyone have experience with them or know of a compelling reason to chose one over the other?

 

I have a sneaking suspicion that most if not all R1 Concepts and StopTech are made in China, and depending on finish (slotted, cross drilled etc) they are very likely to be virtually if not actually identical.

 

It used to be that R1 Concepts used the same rotors as Centric & Stoptech, the "high carbon" steel ones with the black coating, R1 just did their own drilling & slotting into the Centric blanks.

But I notice these days R1 doesn't have them anymore.

They were the ones I used in the past and would recommend, the new ones I don't have any experience with.

I believe Centric/Stoptech still does that version, maybe not with all drilling & slotting options though.

 

I track with OEM pads, they are perfectly fine and are within 90% of best available.

 

 

That's exactly what I was thinking as well. StopTech it is then, on nothing other than brand recognition.
