Default Cheap track rotors

I use the sti as a track whore and I am looking for the least expensive rotors that will perform well with hawk hp+ pads.

There are cheap track rotors for almost any car out there - except the STi.

The one Chinese rotor I found for STi's was only available in 5 x 100 and it cost me almost as much as the DBA's so until someone comes out w/ a $30 Chinese one we will just have to wait.

Call your local dealer and ask for front rotors for an STi then check back with us.

cheap chinese made rotors FTW..i mean they are gonna wear out fast anyways since they are for the track only, odesn't make too much sense to spend so much since you are not racing, just tracking

I am not certain RockAuto has the correct rotors for the STi. Be aware of that before ordering.

take a look at their products, the sti's arent listed in their catalog, but im on my second set of their two piece rotors. Great price!

16lbs and when you wear them out you can just order the rings and bolt them up to your hat.

good company and martin from there will answer any questions.

He'll love talking about the ferrari or porsche's that they do I believe they had a contract for prodrive UK for subaru as well.

Ive combo'd them with pagid blues as well as as porterfield r-4

I had great luck with the DBA's. I woudl say they are quite inexpesive comparably. Did great at the track and are working great on the street.
