Hi, I am a light HPDE driver with the car mainly being a daily, however before I move on to a miata I want this car to be more track ready, at 11k miles I need to just start considering a new front rotor with more and more track days racking up, I am just curious on which Slotted rotors I should get, from what I can tell paragon is more actively within honda team developments, but giro disc has better quality since it's made in America and Paragon is made in China? The thing is I want to save some money and run the OEM top hat/ring, I don't know whats the difference here, Do I need to replace the top hat when changing rotors or is that part reuseable forever? If I can use OEM top hats, should I just get paragon rotors since they actually sells them seperately unlike girodisc where you have to buy the whole thing?

A car
Paragons can use OEM hat. They are good. Just because it’s made in America does not make it automatically better. If that was the case you wouldn’t be driving a Japanese car.

I replaced my front rotors with paragon's. They are noisier than OEM because of the slotted design.

Out of curiosity I checked how many Rings we've sold because we've only received 1 review all these years, and yeah 27 sets so far, with the last sale being last week.

I've figured out that when people are happy with a product they'll go about their day, and when they're not happy with the product they'll be sure to leave a review. I just have to reach out to 26 customers now to share their thoughts if they have a couple minutes because as far as I can tell they're happy campers with the replacement :)

Sounds like these rings improve cooling. How does the weight of the Paragon rings compare to the OEM setup?
