Stock LR, EBC or Brembo. Cross drilled and slotted are for high gain temperatures on performance or race type cars, D2's don't exactly fall into this category we'll be hearing about someone fitting carbon/carbon brakes next

 

Well, I went ahead and purchased the rotors from rotordepot.com I'll report back as to my experience and how the brakes perform!

 

Just make sure to break them in properly, and you should be good to go.

 

Thanks, I was just reading about pad break in on their website!

 

After reading up a lot on this forum I have Akebono euro pads and DBA gold rotors currently on there way. Seems like the little extra cash with be worth it.

 

I bought really cheap rotors from Oreillys one time when I was a kid and I didn't drive around for more than 5 minutes before I started taking them back off returned them for higher quality priced at I don't know, another $15-20 more. Each. My vehicle was shaking and wobbling upon applying brake pressure in a manner worse than before. It was such a PITA to redo the whole process that I can never purchase cheap rotors again

 

I've been using Brake Rotors Brake Discs Drilled Slotted Rotors for my other car and plan on getting brakes for my Rover when I need them. Great value and great performance.

 

They do not fall in that category, but they do weigh a lot and the brakes are relatively small for the weight. In which case, I feel that they can easily be overworked and so I want the high performance rotors and pads on mine. It may be overkill, who can really say. Makes me feel better anyway.

 

You must be a real racer Joe .

I've used stock or flat rotors with Mintex pads on my D2's for 15 years and towed trailers fully laden to 3500kgs and never, ever felt any fade or unsafe etc even braking from 80mph down steep hills here, it must be something special or different in the US

The brake rotor isn't needed to be huge, it's the efficiency of the braking hydraulics that really matters. My D2 and RRS both are capable of stopping on a dime if needed.

 

I installed the 360 performance rotors from rotordepot.com and I can't say whether or not braking has improved, hard to say but I'm mostly concerned about long life. Since they have a 3 yr warranty my fingers are crossed!!

I requested ceramic pads with my order FYI.
