View Full Version : CAM, here's the drilled rotor information

Here is pricing and info as requested. 03-04 Marauder drilled and slotted rotors are $365/set of four.

98-02 Crown Victorias and Grand Marquis are $410/set of four.

These are not those cheap rotors that are made in China. They're made in the US (or sometimes Canada) using an extremely hard grade of steel. The holes are precisely drilled and tapered to maintain 100% structural integrity and ensure they will not crack from the drill holes.

Every person that has bought these rotors from me have been extremely happy with them. And for you guys that don't want to drive to Waldorf, MD to pick a set up, go to your local NAPA and have them order the following for 03-04 Marauders.

PR880110R (Front Right)
PR880110L (Front Left)
PR880129R (Rear Right)
PR880129L (Rear Left)

I meant to see what price I can get you guys on Ceramic brake pads, but I'll have to post that tomorrow.

Please try to remember that I make no money doing this. I do it strictly as a courtosey to my fellow MM.net members.

If I can get enough people, I may be able to arrange a group buy price with the boss. Just PM me.

Stephen,

Are these replacement rotors??

Do they just bolt on with no modifications??

Stephen,

You don't need to modify anything. Just remove your old rotors, and install the new ones.

While you're in there, it's a good time to throw in some new pads if you need them. Get the OEM ones from Ford, or the Ceramic pads from NAPA. Don't waste your time with Otter Zone or Pep Girls pads because only NAPA and some of the OEMs sell pure carbon ceramic pads. Accept no other and don't let some punk kid behind the counter tell you otherwise as there are absolutely zero downsides to ceramic pads.

The part number for the Marauder pads are:

CMX-7834 (Front)
CMX-7835 (Rear)

No I don't have any pics, but I just ordered mine so I'll post some when I get them. As of right now I have to get them factory direct so hopefully I'll still get them by Friday.

I got a price for the Carbon Ceramic pads. $120 for front and rear together. See above post for part numbers.

The ones in the photo are Baer Eradispeed rotors, drillled, slotted and zinc plated. These DISCOUNTED cost $377 - for TWO. What you guys are buying may be great rotors, but they aren't gonna be like the Baers, and they aren't plated, they will rust. Fast.

I just got mine in today. Man are they nice looking. My digital camera is broken right now so I can't take any pics. I'll see if I can borrow one tomorrow to post pics.

I also got group pricing info from the boss. If I can get six people on board, than I can let them go for $325/set of four. Tax included. If we got 24 sets (one skid) then I can get them even lower. These rotors go for about $450 normally for a set.

Anybody that wants in on this needs to PM me ASAP and post in http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11400

If anybody is close to me and wouldn't mind stopping by in Waldorf, MD to snap some pics is more than welcome to.

PS - Beware of the eBay rotors. While they're aesthetically pleasing, they are not of any kind of quality.

I've been mulling a total Baer overhaul, I love Marauderchick's new look (her wheels too) but this would be cheaper alternative. :up:

PS- napa.com has them @ $407.98 for 4 not $450 but $325 is a great bargin if they're made in the US quality. http://www.napaonline.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/NAPAonline/search_results_part_num.d2w/report

The Ceramic pads are the ones that don't dust much. And Ceramic pads will take much more heat without fading. Stopping performance is also improved with true Ceramic pads.

Those rotors look awesome and are a direct replacement for the stock ones.

Are they zinc coated so they don't rust, and what pads are you using ?

I like what you did with the calipers, where did you buy the paint ?

I noticed that on your rotors, they're installed with the grooves facing to the rear, and on some other ones like the Baer, the rotors are installed with the grooves facing to the front......are they marked left & right ?

Thanks.

Many use caliper paint. An online search for capliper paint will yeild many sites like http://wheelskin.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=G2+CALIPER+PAINT (http://wheelskin.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=G2+CALIPER+PAINT )

I got mine on ebay and paid $30 shipped....and it was g2s pic's in my profile. Mine are red....

Yeah Adrian I was wondering about direction too as well as the amount of cross drills and slots as compared to others....still waiting for a pic of the napa's, lol.

Well have a great "rest of the"weekend all...........

Thanks.Unfortunalty they are not Zinc coated , but rotors that usually are don't stay that way for very long , but I coated the exposed steel area that is not in contact with the pads with high heat(up to 900 oF) silver caliper paint . the paint is Dupli-Color High Heat Brake Rotor & Caliper Paint with Ceramic inbedded in the paint . as for the direction of the gruves and rotation of the rotors here are the direction via attachment-

Calipers in diagram are located in the front. MM calipers are located in back. The direction of the rotors seem to be going the wrong way. When the calipers are reversed, the rotors should be switched. IMHO.

Nope - I have the same rotors on my car. The instructions note that the rotors are machined w/a directional patern. Caliper placement is not the issue - rotor rotation is. The vanes used to force air through the rotor are also dependent on the proper rotation.
