Stoptech or Brembo blanks are about the same aren't they?

Doesn't DBA make rotors for the 335? If those are out of budget I would try R1 concepts. no experience with the geomet and the ebay rotors I have tried in the past warped fairly quickly....good luck

I'm running geomets and quite happy with them so far.

I have the same delimma... Couldn't decide to go with which brand. For sure I want to have slotted rotors (not drilled or dimpled). Couldn't decide on which brand to go for. I just want the best quality and if possible a painted hat (don't want stupid rusting rotor hats, drive me nuts aesthetically). Please chime in guys!!

BTW, i couldn't afford the racing brakes two peice rotor, those make me drool and is ideal, but the price is just over the top... thanks guys!

I was originally going to go with slotted but they make too much noise for my tastes. Thats definitely something to keep in mind.

Here's a review thread I posted of my Geomet rotor, and other kit.
