Spencer,

I got mine from Patrick at BMA and he was helpful as always at helping me out. Gave me a good deal also.

Yeah, BMA doesn't have any - and they are out of production (for awhile?) so BMA can't get more. I'm placing a large order from BMA after work tonight it would have been nice to have them the same shipment.

It appears ATE is dropping the powerslot line of rotors and unless you find someone with them in stock, they're not coming back.

However, my understanding is that they intend to produce a replacement slotted rotor using a different design. I'm unsure if they will make this available for the e30 though.

Good rotors, hope the new ones will be as good and will be produced for us e30 folk.

Well good that you found them. Worldpac distributors are out, so I'm guessing there is slim picking.

The difference between powerslots and stock brembos is null, powerslots look cool though.

Are you saying this from track experience, autox, or just street? Regardless, I tend to disagree. The powerslots have a much better bite than stock non-slotted rotors, especially in wet conditions.

Street use as Ive never been on the track. I think the pad you choose has the biggest effect personally. The powerslots certainly dont hurt braking thats for sure.

Pads definitely make a difference but don't discount the effect of a good slotted rotor. Cross-drilled provide a nice bite as well but they can't be trusted under track stress.

When I was looking for them someone told me this. I'm glad I found a set :-)

Ireland engineering (bmw2002.com) shows an "add to cart" for them. Never have ordered directly from Ireland though and can't vouch for their ordering system. Their product offerings are top notch though.
