stock rotors work just fine for the JCW kit. I've got a spare set sitting in the garage.

I'm looking for the plain, not slotted/drilled. If you have those, how much would you sell them for?

Abusing...track day! Last Phil Wicks I went to I was running OEM R53 brakes with Carbotech pads and as Blimey can attest to we recorded rotor temps of 880 degrees after a 30 minute session...HOT! Don't have that brake set up anymore.... If your going to run them hard get something strong and reliable. Just my 2 cents.

I'm killing myself to go aftermarket but I can not find anything good. Brembo do not have any rotors for the 07 or the 06 JCW, DBA also do not have for my 06 JCW. Where shall I go?

When the JCW rotors wear out, if I don't just get another set of those...Probably go with a DBA rotor. The rotors on the R56 are the same size as the JCW kit rotors... If your car was manufactured before 5/06 you might need to address the lug size but I'm not sure...PGT probably knows.

yes, that's what I have. They have perhaps 6k miles on them (previous owner swapped to the drilled ones for looks) $75 + shipping

the 14mm hole on the R56 rotor is no issue if you're using them on a JCW equipped 12mm car. The bolts are 60 degree conical taper - this centers the wheel along with the lip on the hub face.

Used? Sorry I'll have to get new ones because used rotors squeel badly on Carbotechs

if that's the case, you're not bedding them in properly

Yeah, you are 50% right. Also, I got the drilled/slotted JCW rotors which are impossible to resurface and they were used when I got my AX6s.

By the way, I'm the Middle East dealer for Carbotech brakes,
