Power stop stoptech centric all are alike. If you want better track performance go DBA if you have the choice and money.

You can try Mann maybe he has some stock.

There's also Hawk's QuietSlot rotors. They're fairly new but so far they look pretty promising.

If you knew this was coming, why didn't you order what you needed?

2pc Rotors in stock is not going to be easy cause most people don't run 2pc rotors.

I have them on the FXT and I like them. As was pointed out they are identical to the stoptech in fact mine came in boxes marked stoptech LOL. They do offer a slotted only but really unless you are hard track racing, drilled will work just fine. Ive run them for years(drilled rotors) on many many cars and never had problems.

Lucky SOB. Every single drilled rotor I ever ran developed hairline cracks (brand name or not)...plus drilling results in 7-15% loss of active braking area.

OP, just get good quality blacks if you can't find exactly what you are looking for. Off gassing should not be a problem unless you are running a crappy pad. Just my $0.02
