986S slotted rotors
grant - Saturday, 7 December, 2013, at 10:38:20 am
Does anyone know of any good, inexpensive ( reasonable) slotted rotors for the front of 986S'?

I'm no fan of drilled ( they crack under recurring track heat).

I was able to find the Sebro slotted roters. These were recommended by indy tech. The cheapest place was Amazon. One lendor for the fronts ($240) and another for the rears ($228). I have used them only one time at Sebring and can't tell you how well they are over a long period.

Good luck
Thanks, I'll chekc on them. Hwoever

...$240 is not my definition of reasonable. Since I can get OEM Balos for $75, i can throw them away quite early in their life and see significant savings....

I also dont know if a 986S application exists... Stoptech has a nice set of slotted rotors ($100+), btu no front, 986S app ( despite being a listed number)

Frozen Rotors. A Cyo'd rotor that will outlast two sets of non-cryo'd rotors. I went through two sets of front rotors easily, then tried these and they just keep going and going and going. They have easily doubled the lifespan of the stock 986 rotor. They cost a bit more, but like I said, you are effectively getting 2 sets worth of usage out of them.

Turns out there are no ST rotors for the front of either Boxster S or 996 C2s.

But there is a DBA rotor

ST has cryo rotors for rear, for about 50% more $$$$$. That said my rears last a long time as is.

I care less about wear than about safety. exploding drilled rotors are not on my shopping list regardless of "durability".

Will take that into account, but getting non drilled units is not easy.....
