Which lovely Rotor to buy?

Out of the series 3 4 and 5 which one is the best one in overall terms. Apart from difference in the cost.

Non turbo only, i'm gessing the GXL would probably be the best bet.

Cheers.

It depends on what you like. I actually think the GXL is the worst. I much prefer the S3 GSL-SE and the S4 Sport and GTU. I don't like the S5 cars as much except for the front end that has better brake and radiator ducting.

I agree 100%, but the GSL-SE would be my third choice (something about that live axle hop that I just don't care for)

The GSL-SE is more "fun", in the fact that you can get the *** end to slide out from behind you like no one's business.. Aside from that , S4 models all the way. No mouse belts, no electrical MOP, they're lighter, etc... Yes the S5 has some better cosmetics , but nothing that can't be swapped over fairly easily. I think the GXL is fine myself. Sure its a tad heavier, but I get the LSD, better seats, beefier suspension, and 5-lug. The sport would be the best as it gets all of these also, minus some of the weight, but for the most part they can be kind of hard to find. Remove any options you dont want (A/C, P/S, AAS, ) and get an aluminum hood, and you are lighter then the base or sport models anyway..

BTW, the Sports were called the GS model everywhere else in the world than the USA.
