Good stuff here!
No benefit with slotted or cross-drilled rotors. Stick with solids...
Slotted does have a benefit in the rain, and not just standing water. They were the EBC slotted/dimpled and they worked pretty good for >2 years.
However, I don't think the cost/benefit is very great for the perpetually dry TX weather. That, and I can't remember the last time I autoX/HPDE'd in the rain.

There sure was on the Jeeps I used to own. My 97 Grand would warp rotors like clockwork every 30-35K. I put some Powerstop cross drilled rotors on it and they lasted > 120K with no warping.
That being said, There's no real benefit on a Miata. The rotors are engineered quite well. Stick with OEM or Brembo and you'll be fine.

Thanks, I'll stay with OEM.
absolutely agreeQuote:

buy OEM or Bembro solids
Bembros about $27 or so ea from either OReilly or Tire Rack
that's all I use right now
NAPA used to have made in America rotors for $14 or so, but they have switched to Chinese junk
OReilly's will give you a lifetime warranty. If they cannot turn them, free replacements. Too bad I could never take advantage of it.
Not true, I just recently got NAPA premium rotors that were made in Italy.Quote:

their premium line too, not bottom line
:dunno:
I'd refuse them too. ::Drive2::
