rotors??

2 questions.

1 what rotor options do we have that are
"cost effective" to say

and more imporantly

when i drive specially at 0-50 i get a consistant warbeling noise from my front wheels, and a bit of a "grinding" (not grinding but definitly not a smooth) when hardbreaking from high speeds

ideas?

Group Buy Center I think I saw some brake rotors there. Not sure if it were for Maxes but it's worth a look.

www.carpart.com (NOT carparts.com)..

then punch in your model number and info.. brembo brake rotors are part # JBR-505 for the fronts and JBR-506 for the rears I belive on the rears anyway).. they're sold under autospecialty brand, but are real brembo rotors. they look the same as stock, but are about the best you can get unless you pay for a big brake kit. don't waste your time with slotted or crossdrilled stuff.. they're twice the price and don't do anything but look neat. no performance increase on a street car.
prices should be about $40 each for the JBR-505 rotors.

I thought the slotted or the cross drilled was suppose to make your rotors last longer? Or am i missing something here

under real heavy braking or very high speed braking,
cross drilled and vented rotors are often much more resistant to fading or glazing over. most people never need this kind of power though. unless you autocross a lot or really feel the need for better stopping power, they arent neccesary. they are safer though cuz of their fade resistance. so ur call
