I need new front rotors.
Plain (Cryo): $70 each
Drilled (Cryo): $74 each
Slotted (non-Cryo): $82 each
Lemme know which way to go.

If you want to keep tracking the car, go with the plain rotors. non-track Brakes don’t outgas anymore, so the slots and holes aren’t doing anything, and cross-drilled rotors have a greater potential to fail catastrophically when stressed.
Here is a handy guide from Turner Motorsport, note that they sell all 4 possible varieties, with the slotted and cross drilled rotors being most expensive, and they still tell you to just get the blanks.

Slotted but not cross drilled are the best

Don’t waste your money on drilled rotors, save it for drilled brake lines instead:

Plain or slotted. I have crossdrilled and slotted because they were nearly free, but I wouldn’t choose them on purpose. 6 Track days with no issue yet though.

Plain. Save a couple bucks for stuff that will make a bigger difference, like pads and fluid.

Wagner E-coated rotors, or Centric Premium, or EBC blanks
They are awesome
