Stoptech rotor decision, input please.

[mattj3636]

I did a search and couldn't find any information on this specific topic, someone please post a link if I didn't search hard enough.

Anyways, im in desperate need for front rotors and pads, i already ordered my EBC greenstuff for pads...

Rotor-wise, im pretty sure im going to the the stoptech power slot slotted rotors because of some threads i read on them, and the pretty good price.

im pretty much torn on which ones to get..

there is just the normal rotors... 190$ for the pair and ships within 5-7 days

or the cryogenic treated rotors... 256$ for the pair and ships within 3-6 weeks(special order)..

are the cryogenic treated rotors worth the extra money and incredibly extra wait time.. or is there a different company i should be looking at?

any input would be greatly appreciated.

I had a set of cryo treated rotors on the Protege, and honestly, it's not worth it. Save the cash and get the basic ones and you'll be just fine.

alright cool, and any experience on the stop tech power slots? im pretty sure there good, especially for 190$ a pair.. but if anyones ran them, please chime in!

Well I'm a little confused...are you getting Stoptech and Power Slot confused? I used Power Slot rotors before and was really happy with them, but I have not used any Stoptech stuff yet. I wouldn't mind trying their slotted rotors on the MS6 though.

Can you post a link to the product page?

anyone else?

JSC falsely markets them as Stoptech Power Slot rotors. In real life they're two seperate brands:

www.stoptech.com

www.powerslot.com

well it says mazda 3 2.3l exc mazdaspeed for powerslot... so im assuming they don't make rotors for the speed3... so the link in JSC is the stoptech rotors then right?

Never had a problem with the Rotors on my TL-S, but I can attest to the fact that I had the EBC Green pads on my Benz and it warped the rotors in 3 days, couldn't BELIEVE IT!! and then I said hell maybe i ran the wrong "type" so I went to Red and BAM! after 2 weeks of some spirited driving and the rotors warped!! so I personally would NEVER recommend EBC anything! Just my personal experience.

 

[Drizz-OH!]

Green Stuff pads are absolute s***. Send them back and get Hawk HPS or EBC Red Stuff. And...does Rotora make anything for the MS3? I just swapped my OEM rotors to Rotora slotted with StopTech Posi-Quiet Ceramic pads and it's a million times better.

EDIT:
EBC Green Stuff pads suck balls on a 6, they may be different for the 3, just stating my opinion. If you do any tracking stay far far away from them.

i ended up ordering the red stuff
