There are several Raybestos rotors listed on Rock Auto. Whick are the best (of the ones in the $20.00 range)??

I have used the $57.00 drilled and slotted Raybestos rotors, and cracked all 4 at VIR. Are the cheaper ones less likely to crack?

Thanks John and Chris.

Chris. Do you use a set of rotors for a whole race weekend (practice/qual/race??), then toss them? I have watched you race at R/Atlanta. If you are not cracking rotors, we should not (just running hillclimbs and TT events).

Depending on the track, I can normally get about 2 good weekends from a front set and about 3 weekends on the rears. But some tracks like Sebring, Road America and the like will crack a rotor in one day! I cracked a brand new set of front rotors during one test day @ sebring this year!

I made it SOP a few years ago to bed in a new set of rotors and pads the morning before the race. After the race, those rotors will normally last for a test day and two qualifying sessions (the next race weekend) before they either crack or I throw them away. Tracks like Roebling though, aren't that hard on them and you can get several days on a set if you choose. Drive hard baby...drive hard!
