I am wanting to put in some nice Cross Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors on my 07 FM TC, i would appreciate some recomendations.

 

What kind of application will you use them for? Brembos are excellent. I posted some thoughts over here:

rotora.

brembo is over priced

 

They're good too. Made in the USA!

However, Rotora list pretty much the same as Brembos; atleast from what I've seen.

 

ive never looked at the price of just rotors for brembo, but i know their BBK price is outrageous

 

Take a look at Brembos. The rotors are not overpriced and the blanks aren't Japanese crap. On average (again, from what I've seen) Rotora rotors are only a few dollars less than Brembos for a complete set.

 

gotcha. i have no need to research it, i believe you. i just assumed they would be expensive because of their BBK price

 

StopTech FTW!

 

erik is very helpful. so i cant bash on him nor the company he works for.


but i will recommend rotora for obvious reasons, then i would recommend stop tech. haha

 

how about powerslot

 

powerslot is ok, but their are better rotors out there

 

for just regular street riding is it best to get the cross drilled and slotted, or just a single application

 

The only time you'll run into problems with cross drilled rotors, is under extended periods of hard braking. The drilled holes could cause weaknesses in the rotor which would in turn crack due to heat and other stresses. I put cross drilled on my C5 because I won't be autocrossing every weekend. Slotted are great regardless of what you do in the car because they can prevent the pads from glazing over. But, to answer your original question, yes the D/S would be fine for daily driving situations.

 

cross drilled and slotted is designed to release heat, and pad dust easier. so i would recommend slotted, drilled, or slotted and drilled.

 

I personally like dimpled and slotted, mainly because I dont trust drilled rotors. ( I dont recommend this brand, dont even know it, but its an example of the type I like )

ok i am going to go with brembo, so now where do you recommend to get them from

 

rotorpros.com

Rich is an extremely nice guy! He hooked me up with the "Dimpled & Slotted" rotors w/black zinc plating for cheap!
Good quality and fast shipping! Shoot him an email for $$$.

 

TireRack doesn't give any awesome deals, but they also don't overcharge. They do, however, ship incredibly fast.

 

i just placed my order for the f & r rotors, but i was curious on your alls opinion on something, a friend of mine a while back bought these cross drilled slotted rotors on ebay for his 05 TC, so far hes had no problems, but i was just curious as to your comments..personaly anything dealing with sensitive items such as brake rotors i stay clear away from ebay. anyway here is the link to the actual rotors he purchased.

I think that excerpt from their product description pretty much sums it up.
