Yeah... I may look into those depending on what happens on the track... but then again, I don't have the insane amount of hp you have in your tC.

Oh... and forgot to add I'm running Enkei RPF1 for weight saving and better brake cooling. Man... I really wish I could post pics right now.

Trust me... you're better off with slotted only. I bought a well used set that was slotted and drilled and found a crack in one of the rotors. That's not a knock on Wilwood's quality (they properly drill their rotors), that just the nature of drilled rotors.

Like the other have said you can get them slotted-only, you just have to order them that way, or you could drive to Wilwood headquaters, get a sponsorship, and have the product manager personally hand you a set... whatever works for you.

Dave,

If you order the Drilled rotors. I would keep it because are you really but that amount of stress on the rotor to crack it . Maybe if you auto-x the car , but i dont think so.

If you want slotted rotors, order part number 140-9013

If you want slotted AND drilled, order part number 140-9013D

Slotted and drilled are an option, but most people want those, so that's what stores order. I got my slotted rotors directly from Wilwood as a partial sponsorship... so yes, they can be ordered both ways. :D

As promised...





The calipers are powder coated lollipop blue, and the rotor hats are done in Laser Blue to match my valve cover and wheel stand for car shows.

2fast I'm loving those rpf1s, aren't the 615s awesome? I'm right behind you with the enkeis.

to the guy who got "the wrong fukin rotors", hopefully you didn't return them because that's serendipity. the ONLY company from whom it is acceptable to order drilled rotors is Porsche, and that's because the holes aren't drilled, they're actually in the casting, which is a miracle. any rotor that's drilled is putting unnecessary stress points all over the rotor which will ensure it's only a matter of time before it cracks.

I love the guy on here who said "my stock brakes saved my life last night". haha! my brakes save my life, and the life of the passengers of the car in front of me, every time I use them!!! lol!
