BENDIX & WAGNER Rotors!

I was looking for a set of Rotors to compliment the newly acquired HAWK-5.0  Carbon Ferro-Carbon compound brake pads and found a couple of Good Quality Performance Rotors without having to break the bank..

The WAGNER Rotors are made from cast iron,while the BENDIX are made from ACP, Alloyed-Carbon Performance castings!
I believe Both Rotors have the Vane design feature which provides greater cooling capabilities @ a similar price point.  Z

Both Rotors Replace Original (OE) Part # DG1Z1125C

A precision cut finish of the outer diameter prevents improper balance issues that can result in a loss of vehicle control
A smooth finish aids in the proper seating of the friction resulting in less time needed for pad "break-in"
A unique vane design provides greater cooling capabilities resulting in increased stopping power and decreased noise, vibration and harshness
E-Shield coating is applied to all non-braking surfaces which prevents corrosion and is visually attractive
Tighter tolerance specifications reduce thickness variation and lateral run-out to ensure a balanced rotor that reduces pedal pulsation and extends pad life
Wagner utilizes a combination of premium grade iron, a stringent casting process and a controlled manufacturing environment which results in superior braking performance.

I have the bendix rotors on my SHO for the past 2000+ miles and have had no trouble at all. Helped stop me a few times this winter in Cleveland, Ohio. Plus there is a bendix plant about 25 minutes west of Cleveland so I figured I would support local haha.

Both solid choices.... I personally/professionally would go with Bendix.

I don't have experience with those brands, but I would throw EBC into the ring.  EBC does make blank rotors as well as the fancy looking slotted ones.  I like them because they are hard core about quality control.  Don't know if they tread into "Break the bank" territory, but I expect they'd be pricier than Bendix and Wagner, even for blank rotors.  Check it out, their page is interesting enough to read through.  I'm running their slotted rotors and pads.  https://ebcbrakes.com/product/premium-oe-rotors/

I've had Wagners warp on me.  Different car,  but IIRC they were only 2-3 years old.

I'm now in need for new stoppers as the power stops I installed over 40k miles ago have finally gone bye bye.  I want to to a different route as I was please with the power stops except when they were cold.  I wonder how these rotors would work with a set of EBC Red pad.

If you want to go EBCs, skip red, go straight to Yellow (or Orange if available).

New Front Rotors arrived today safely snug as a bug.  :)
They seem pretty Beefy IMO and hopefully will have them installed by next week.  Z

Cool looking rotors Z!  Be interesting to see how they do for you.

interesting design as a fan of ebc slotted. i assume the cut outs are for better cooling,but wonder how the effect the integrity of the rotor. is the black mounting side will stay black, nice touch. unlike the ebc's that came in black but was on the surface & wore off immediately.

I'm hoping they perform as well as they look along with the Hawk 5.0 brake pads. I appreciate the kind words from ^^^. Z   :)

Hey Z...did you compare the 5.0 pads vs. the LTS?  If so why the decision to go with the 5.0?

Just looking at the pad characteristics it looks like the LTS would give you greater thermal range and minimally sacrifice some noise.  All the other characteristics were basically identical.
