Picked up my factory ordered Redeye Friday 10/11/19. The front rotors only have one groove in them instead of many like on my old 2016 hellcat! Everyone else?
Wonder why?

Running change. It's normal. All '19+ should have them and if you were to get OEM replacement rotors for any '15+ HC they should be the same too now. Less grooves = less pad wear, and since most people aren't beating the hell out of the brakes on a road course it won't matter.

And still super bad brake dust! Powerstop Z26s here I come again.

The new style is as good or better than the former and will (does) work as well on any road course in comparasion. Not to worry, they are a positive evolution in design.

I've noticed a significant difference in modulation with the new rotors, as in they have more bite but are also harder to modulate while driving on the street at "normal" driving mode.

I changed brakes at only 140 miles. Hate the dust.

I changed the pads to the Powerstops before I drove mine! They work great, this is with over 3000 mi. Not a hint of a lip that I can feel yet.
