I've done around 6k miles on a front set of EBC slotted discs and they've gone warped. A bit disappointing for a supposed performance disc considering I don't really abuse them that much. When they do get used hard it's not that often.
Before I pull the lever on a pair of Brembo drilled, anyone here had good experiences with drilled/slotted aftermarket discs?

I believe a lot of people on this forum go with the R1Concept Rotor and Hawk HPS pads. I know acuteperformance does sell these, I personally haven't read any bad reviews yet.

Thanks for the replys but factory rotors can't take the heat from my experience. Use them hard and they warp too, they're actually made of of pretty soft stuff. Cost is probably prohibitive to ship a set of rotors across the pond so I need something from Europe. Maybe some of our European mates can chime in....
