Does anyone know if you can get slotted rotors for the VRX.
DBA has them for all other lancers other than the VRX
I thought the Ralliart ones would fit until I found a thread on here stating otherwise (Hub offset is different by +0.5mm).

Thanks - I will have to have a good read.
Slightly confused though... according to that thread, the RA rotors will fit on the VRX ??

Yes the RA rotors will fit the VRX but you won't get your calliper back on.
The VRX rotor for some reason must have an uncommon design about it, I ended up buying RDA slotted discs for my VRX.

You can get slots machines into your OEM rotors. This is a lot cheaper option and they look great.

Yeah... I'ld prefer to get the real thing (works better and lasts longer).

What is the real thing?
Slotted rotors are just like the stock ones and they get these machined grooves in them.
If you want brand name products like DBA or RDA, then so be it
But REAL?
By taking your OEM ones and getting a professional to machine in the slots, they're just carrying out the step which the DBA and RDA ones did.
