You really don't want drilled rotors.....

And you REALLY REALLY don't want cheap driller rotors.

 

[Ckanderson]

^ so true. I'd rather sell you plain rotors then have you buy cheap cross drilled rotors.

Remember, these are brakes.... if they fail, your done.

...and you might take someone out with you.

Money is always a consideration, but I'd listen to what these guy's are saying.

old worn stock rotors (as long as they're not thinner than spec) is gonna be better than ANY cheap chinese garbage...

I'm all for taking as many people with you as possible... but dammit, treat your car well.

so what do u guys reccomend for cross drilled/slotted rotors? i know there are some wilwoods and brembo upgrades but all i want is some Tyte rotors.

what brands to look for?

 

[Poodles]

get one or the other, not both

crossdrilling isn't recommended as they crack

slots will wear your pads faster

brakes aren't there to look good, they're there to make you stop, don't compromise!

rotora...

brembo blanks (best replacement)

or go for a BBK ($$$)

please don't post if you dont know what your talking about.

Brembo has had quite a few failures in the past few years.

 

[HIDPLANET]

I agree with the powerslots.....last thing you want are cracked drilled rotors

 

[Poodles]

haven't seen anyone have issues with normal brembo blanks

it's when they get the ebay crossdrilled brembos that I've heard of failures...

crossdrilled will crack, don't know of any rotor on the market that won't under hard brake use (track use)

 

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

so will the "ebay" rotors work for everyday street daily use?

 

[iwannadie]

I have brembo slotted and they work great. Slotted were recommended because I live in the desert with alot of sand. The slots really seem to clean the pads surface. I have portfield pads and theyve lasted along time and I brake as hard as the system lets me.

You would risk safety with ebay drilled rotors?
Just get quality slotted ones, theyre not expensive and are much stronger.

ask aaron.
