brake rotors!which ones?

[tom6687]

Im looking to upgrade my brake rotors. i have 30,xxx mile on my car and im debating on purchasing drilled, drilled and slotted, slotted or just having my rotors re-surfaced. Also i need to replace all my brake pads what are the best brake pads?

[ROB502]

I got sloted and drilled off Ebay and are very happy with them. Three years and 20K still true and nice looking. The stock ones warped every year.

[Mr. Man]

109K on the OEMs on our SB and still some pad left. If you've worn out your OEMs in 30K you must do an awful lot of stop and go.

I will be getting slotted only for replacements and some sort of street pad. Drilled rotors can crack. Unless you do lot of racing there is no real need for drilled unless you just like the look.

I have no issues with the OEMs just like the look of the slotted so I'll be going for those.:)

I bought the R1 Concepts drilled and slotted for the rears off eBay and what ever top of the line rear pads at Napa.

But I replaced my fronts with a 13" Wilwood brake kit.

If you are going to do your brakes. I highly highly recomend stainless steel brake lines on all four brakes. It makes a BIG difference!!

I have R1 concepts drilled and slotted rotors front/rear and they are excellent rotors with wagner thermo quiet ceramic pads, and ss brake lines.

10K miles on them so far, Fantastic!!!

I have Powerslot rotors.

[justbob]

Race concepts (seem to be the same as R1's) from ebay three years ago and roughly 35,000 miles??? Still PERFECT. Oh yeah, only paid $199.00 for all four with pads and free ship!

No real difference over stock for normal driving. There was a very noticeable difference in slowing down this brick from 109 MPH QUICKLY at the track however!

well if you looking to upgrade i got a set of EBC slotted and dimpled, and red stuff pads for sale.

[tom6687]

Talk to Todd at TCE,
he's a vendor here.
I think DR has them to (also a vendor here).
Don't forget the Hawk HP pads.;)

[tom6687]

Will contact those guys! I love this forum!

I talked to Todd at Tce and he is unsure if the steel brake wires would fit my 2000 Merc. GM

I highly recommend Powerstop (different than Powerslot!) drilled & slotted rotors and pads. I've put them on two Marauders and my Jeep and they are a terrific upgrade from stock. The pads are larger so you have noticably better stopping power. Found a great deal on eBay for them, the seller is brakemotive76 and usually ships for free.

The complete front/rear set for the Marauder is K1365.

I have one question are these rotors of stock dimensions?

[screamn]

+1 on Powerslot rotors!

Had them on the front of my P71 & will install them on my rauder when its time to replace pads.

Also, will install stainless steel brake lines all around.

this place is great for slotted and dimpled rotors. lifetime warranty on warping and cracking and free pads only on the slotted and dimpled rotors. but free shipping on all i think. my friend stop warping rotors after he bought these. he went though a pair of rotors a year on his 06 gto. i have them on my mercury and love them. even better after the ss break hoses.

Todd at TCE (sponsor on this site) sells kits and lines. I bought my lines from him, can't afford the kit.

[capt512]

FYI R1concepts can make custom rotors as well. I have yet to email them to get pricing but they can do rotors with the lettering, logos, etc on them...might be neat with the godshead on them or Marauder.

Does he have front and rear kits from brembo or wilwood?

[Vortech347]

Stay away from cross drilled/slotted if you do REALLY aggressive driving. I can't tell you how many sets I have cracked in both mustangs when open tracking them. Solid's have always worked much better for me.
