Where to get non drilled rotors?

[lswing]

So why is that one rotor type is $75, and all others $429, odd....

Maybe the same reason the left aluminum mirror cap is $100 and the right is $900?

Supply vs. Demand?

Just did, they are indeed directional.
Now it makes me wonder if it's that critical, brakes feel just fine.
I understand the difference if they were let's say slotted or drilled, but since they are "plain", they look identical.

directionality of rotors only matter if they're slotted/dimpled/drilled, or if they have a directional fin design. Next time you have a rear wheel off, take a flashlight and shine it into the rotor from the outside edge towards the center. If you can see all the way down, the fins are straight and you're fine. If you see the fins curving off (directional design), then the directionality is going to push air inward towards your rotor hat (wheel hub, bearing, etc area) rather than outward towards the wheel itself. Not saying that all that heat will mess up the hub, but I'm also not saying that it won't...

So I should just buy a set of these rear rotors while they're still dirt cheap? Send off to Frozen? I would still worry they might be made cheaper if they are so cheap. Hmmmm....can't you have the slots carved in also?

Thanks for the info

Not even the same size as RS6 rotors.

Hahah
Well messed up on the last letter, was gonna confirm first.
Anyhow, there should be something like i got for the rears.

Anyone heard of this company? http://www.huilibrakes.com/?m=about

Cheap Chinese Shit??? Really. The RS6 isn't over braked for it's weight already, I can't imagine downgrading the Brakes? For the price of the SHW or Zimmerman OEM design rotors it isn't that expensive if your talking 30~40K on a set.

Chinese does not always mean cheap, but Im not trying to change the topic...
nobody said anything about cheap/expensive. At least i would like to know alternatives to oem drilled ones

Yea, i don't get this. Trying to find the cheapest alternative to one of the most important safety features makes little sense...makes cents, but could put you in a bad spot.

Title of the thread: where to get non drilled rotors".

Who is saying anything about cheaping out on brakes? Just because it's not oem does not mean it's any worse.

p.s. Pls get back on topic

Funny, thought the title was "where to get cheap unproven rotors", I stand corrected.

This is right on topic. Suggesting cheap parts that don't even fit is hazardous. I mainly worry that someone will browse this later and think it's ok to order.

I do applaud your efforts searching, and those rear rotors look interesting.

Show me where I suggested anything hazardous besides one link from eBay where rotors were for passat ( still oem that would not even fit).
P.s. This thread is still about non drilled rotors

One thing I found interesting looking at Frozen rotors, they didn't have the RS6 version in slotted for some reason. Maybe they can only get them drilled, such as OEM or Zimmerman. Maybe I'll give them a call next week. Costs a bit more, but this would be rock solid for a lot of miles...

Probably put these on next time they have a 10% off sale. Send them up to Frozen. Should be good, and with my limited to no track time not anticipating any warping issues. Slots should clear a lot more brake debris and gases. Running the Hawk HPS street pads which seem to be easy on the rotors with solid braking ability once warmed up.

Whats the deal with Frozen? Are they selling the OEM drilled rotors already treated then? Looks like it from reading their website but I am surprise.
