Hi Guy ,

I m planning to have my rotors replace .

Just wondering which brand is good ?

SP or DBA?

I think i will get slotted rotor instead of cross drilled..

Thanks for comments

yep Capt BJ is right. Very few if any MINI "needs" slotted or drilled rotors and there are many good rotors at your local parts store too.

If you really want slotted think about a set of TSW rotors.

Centric Solid rotors. Got them at rockauto.com for 30ea. They were the cheapest rotors I could find and they have been holding up great.

I really like my Texas Speed Werks (TSW) slotted Fremax rotors sold by Way Motor Works. I use EBC green pads and braided stainless steel lines.

I'll be using Centric solids in about a month on my r56. They are the least expensive rotor out there so far by around $50 for the r56.
