EBAY Rotors
Anyone had experience with crossdrilled and slotted rotors purchased from a vender off of E Bay?

No benefit with slotted or cross-drilled rotors. Stick with solids...

Don't look...there's nothing down here for you!
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 agreeOriginally Posted by miataspeedracer
Texas Driving Experience tried them on the vettes (got a sweet "sponsorship" deal) but they don't stand up as well as solids
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.
They still show them available.

when I called the Grapevine NAPA guy 6 months ago to order rotors, he cautioned me that they had changed to Chinese but sometimes they would still get USA ones
when I went to pick them up, Chinese so I refused to get them
their premium line too, not bottom line
