Slotted only rotors?

Does anyone know of slotted only rotors for the SVX? I've been looking about a bit, and want to switch out mine, but don't want the D/S rotors. I've read some about it, and have a couple buds who don't recommend it. Claiming that the drilled can cause issues, mainly with cracking.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Slotted only rotors?

It depends on if they are drilled or dimple drilled. The dimple drilled are much better because they will not cause the rotor to crack. You can get just dimple drilled, just slotted, or both. Get in touch with OT and he can help you with that. He sells them and I have purchased them from him, and they are a very good rotor for the lesser price.

Applied Rotor Technology has them. There was a discussion thread a couple weeks back. http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=45783

Re: Slotted only rotors?

I bought These on eBay. You need to specify which style and I chose the "Stream Cross". I've read about drilled rotors cracking and that they're basically just for looks... Not sure how well they compare to other slotted rotors but these ones and new pads are far superior to what was on my car when I got it.

Re: Slotted only rotors?

All of this is making me curious. Does anyone know all the options company wise for getting a hold of different rotors, I know mine are about due. The (ART) rotors sound good, I might just need to get in touch with OT though.
