Hey guy i'm looking for some rotors and wanted to get everyone input on whats a good brand or kind that is reasonably priced? Looking to get front and rears and wanted the drilled slotted ones. Is there a big difference if I got the ones that are just slotted vs. just drilled? Any input would help. Thanks guys.

 

get just slotted. not drilled.

 

i've been looking into some new rotors too. What brand were you thinking of going with cause i want something good but not ridiculously expensive.

 

I went with the stoptech kit. It is reasonably priced.

 

+1

 

rotorpros.com. The price can't be beat. I got mine with black plating. Quality rotors indeed.

 

Drilled rotors can crack and you can't turn them. Stay away from them.

I've had mine for almost a year and a half with absolutely no problems at all!

 

i think that's only under very extreme conditions like auto-x (maybe) where the rotor is constantly being heated up by friction then cooling down again. for everyday street use, they shouldn't be a problem. but it's true you can't turn them

 

I wouldn't be so quick to brush off anything Dan says, he knows what he is talking about. And just because it hasn't happen doesn't mean it won't happen; I've seen cracked drilled rotors just from everyday driving; enough to know not to install them on my tC.

 

i got rotora drilled and slotted with ebc brake pads
i made a hell of a difference in my car
all i need now are stainless stell lines and my brake setup is done

 

any pics of the black plating?

and how much did u pay?

 

Why do you want drilled and slotted rotors? They are a waste of money, I'd like anyone to name a single benifit from driving on these rotors.

 

^ they look better

 

.....
against what? stock brakes???

if you get the stoptech stage II kit you BET it has more advantages than just looks.

 

Lol, you don't even know what advantages they would have. The truth is that drilled and slotted rotors do nothing for braking performance. All of these companies that drill their rotors throw out random nonsense that it helps the rotor cool better and all this nonesense.

The truth is that drilling rotors reduces its cooling capacity and its lifespan, and as proved in the quote below. Slotting rotors where used back in the day when pads still had asbestos and glazed the rotors.

Instead wasting your money and falling for these "performance upgrades" you should just order a set of brembo blanks and some nice pads. Thats all you need.

 

Who said I got the drilled ones? My bf has the slotted stage 2 on his car (which I also drove) and the difference is evident.

 

Well of course the brakes will feel different. If I'm correct the stage 2 kit from Stop tech are larger rotors, SS lines, Motul brake fulid and Axxis Ultimates all around. Axxis pads are really nice pads, and then add the brake fluid and ss lines and you have yourself a nice brake setup.

But we aren't discussing that, we are discussing the none existant gains of owning slotterd or drilled rotors. The fact that your BF's brake kit came with either of those is irrelivant to his setup. I guarantee you if he would to switch to blank rotors they would feel the same.

 

oh i thought u meant as a kit in general.

yeah then whether they are slotted, drilled, plain I agree with you.

*grabs coffee*

 

WOB made a point. i'm not gonna lie. its just for cosmetics looks because i have the 19 inch TRD rims and they have big gaps to see the entire rotor and i kinda just wanted to give it a better look. i was looking at the ROTORWORKS one. does anyone have any experiences with them?
