Looking for a new front brake rotor, the current one is mega warped. Are used rotors worth the trouble or just go aftermarket? Which aftermarket options have a good track record?

Thanks,

I fit up an EBC rotor to my 08 Uly along with the latest style mount hardware, so far it's survived racing at COTA. I tried fitting a 5mm finned EBR rotor but it just fouls on the inside of my ZTL1 caliper, I expect the ZTL2 has a bit more room and it'd work fine with it.

Did you remove and clean the hardware on your rotor? Place the rotor on a flat surface to check for flatness? Not denying that you have a warped rotor but the design of the xb rotor makes it very rare to actually have one get warped. Its typically the rotor binding in the hardware that is supposed to allow it to float, that people mistake for warping.

The only ones I've ever seen truly warped came from actual racebikes and factory test mules.
