    Slotted rotors?

    Any chance we can allow slotted rotors in CMC? It seems that plain rotors are getting harder and harder to find for us 2pc guys and I think slotted could/would be potentially a more cost effective solution. Here are a couple of situations that have hit me recently. I was going to use Hawk bucks to buy rear rotors for my car but the hawk rotors only come slotted so I have to go out of pocket. It looks like DBA makes a ring for my stoptech hats and it's $50 cheaper and perhaps more durable, but it's slotted, etc etc etc.

    Sitting in the AI chair, looking at the CMC group, I would think that is a no brainer. I don't believe the rings are any more expensive for slotted and I don't think anyone could claim a true performance advantage.

    Also, for StopTech's at least, there could be more "spares sharing" between the AI/CMC guys. The rings for a 4th gen and Mustang are the same, so as long as there are a few RH and LH rotors available (with hardware of course), we should be covered.

    I always have a new set of rings and hardware in all my pit spares, just incase anyone needs.

    I wish we could do this. I had hell getting the smooth replacement ring. StopTech said they make very few of these.

    You and me both, perhaps this thread will kickstart a rule change for 2016.

    This sounds like a perfect RCR for 2016, I'll definitely submit it as well.
