My HPDE 4th Gen Camaro needs some new rotors for my C5/6 front brakes. Pros and Cons of Plain, Cryo and High Carbon? The prices go from $110 to $208 for the pair. Enjoying Raybestos ST43 for pads.

I've been using the Centric High Carbon ones for quite a while on my 94 Trans Am with great results. It's a street car set up for NASA Time Trial duty and I'm running Hawk DTC-70 pads with Blainefab ducts. I'm probably having such good luck with the cheaper rotors because of the cooling ducts though. I lost one hose during a run at Sebring and realized it pretty quickly because I could feel the difference from side to side. I didn't even need to look under the car when I came in because I could feel the heat difference just walking around the car. I'd say go with the Stoptech's since they have a better cooling fin design unless you're running a set of ducts.

Is that stock brake setup, C5 or other? Just wondering, I was looking at the high carbon Centric's for C6 but it looks like the one side directional vanes (but want to confirm), whereas I know that the slotted are straight vanes so good for either side.
