Default sources for 14" brake rotors?

I have the baer alumasport 14" front/rear brake kit. My rotors are destroyed due to severe cracking. Baer wants $800-900 for a new set of 4 rotors. I can get a whole new kit with calipers, pads, rotors, etc. for $1150, so that doesnt seem very fair. Not to mention baer only sells the drilled/slotted rotors (which will crack and fail again, and can't be machined) while I'd like to have slotted-only rotors which are more likely to hold up over time.

I've heard powerslot mentioned but their site says they do not sell to the public, and I know of no dealer anywhere nearby.

Summit lists the baer kit I already have, and a bunch of 13" stock diameter rotors.

Anybody know a decent source for 14" rotors for our 6 lug trucks?

I bought my powerslots from summit for around $400 which included rotors and brackets.

The only thing I can find for SSBC is the caliper relocation kit with rotors which runs about $850 plus shipping. All I need are rotors, but everyone sells kits.

The part number for the PowerSlot + 14" kit is or at least was #29-8690 and the individual rotor #'s is or were #26-8690 R&L. The reason I say is or were is PowerSlot has a tendency to change part numbers on you.

Thanks guys, that rotor looks awesome. I searched around on summit's site and the only power slots I found were stock diameter replacements. No 14" ones at all listed. Guess I will ask them directly, maybe they dont list them for some reason?

Oh...that's just the fronts. I need all 4. Even if they sell the rears for about the same price, that's still more than the baer replacements (about $800-900 shipped for all 4).

Can I trouble you to measure the offset and thickness of the powerslot rotor you have there, so I can be sure they would interchange with my baer ones? It occurred to me that they may not necessarily be identical in terms of offset or thickness even though diameter is the same.

I have an inquiry out to powerslot and a couple other places regarding front and rear powerslot rotors only.
