i wanted to upgrade my rotors and wanted to get some opinions on which are the best for the best price.

I found some on ebay which were around 200$ for slotted and cross drilled rotors from some unknown companies. Are these legitimate?

Is it better to get drilled rotors or slotted rotors?

Any suggestions would help,

thanks

 

I suggest you search.

 

i actually changed my rotors on the 4 corners,, and putted brembo plain(non slotted, non drilled) for rotors and some PBR XBG(or metal master, semi-metallic) for pads and it works amazingly!

 

I wouldn't do drilled rotors....

also, I replaced them with OEM replacements and I don't really feel a difference

 

I vote for Brembo Blanks.

 

so the consensus is drilled, slotted and blank are all the same? as far as stopping power?

I got wagner thermoquiet for the pads btw.

 

I've talked to a lot of people with personal experience using all kinds of different rotor brands and I've never heard anyone say they regretted buying the basic and even cheap-o brands. However I've heard PLENTY of people say how over-rated brembo rotors were and even that they were pretty much the "same thing" when compared to cheaper brands.

I've got slotted brembos and I cant say I noticed too much of a difference, which seems to be the general consensus. Change your brake fluid and put in some stainless steel lines while your at it, if you want an upgrade. Otherwise I wouldn't bother with the rotors unless they are due for changing.

 

wow i would have never thought that, everyone is always saying slotted this, drilled that, brembo is the best etc...

is there that much of a difference with steal lines and new brake fluid?

 

let me put it this way...when is the last time you changed your brake fluid?

^^ thats actually my way of avoiding being called a hypocrite. Changing it has been on my to-do list for a long time. Many people over-look it and then start crying about brake performance. The fluid does need to be changed. Steel lines give firmer pedal feel.

 

blanks FTW, esp for daily driving...

 

go OE if you can find some for a good price, check the 4th gen for sale forum

 

i found brembo blanks for 80 for pair for the front is that ok price?

im gonna try to look into the steal lines a little further.

 

blanks

 

For a daily driver: Brembo blanks for the front with your choice of pads for whatever reason (quietness, stopping power, brake dust, etc.) and regular (meaning parts store brand) rear discs and pads.

I just installed brembo blanks in the front with hawk hps pads which I bought online and bought rear discs at Strauss for the lowest price anywhere and then I lucked out when a member was selling hps pads for the rear. I wanted good stopping power since I drive a lot/far.

And if you need replacement calipers strauss has them for like $45 each after the core.

 

follow my lead..... STEEL. Two E's and you will be golden.

No wonder you noobs can't find anything in the searches, none of you can spell worth a crap.

 

i was actually planning to steal someone's brake lines.

 

so why are cross drilled and slotted rotors so expensive if they provide no difference in performance?

 

looks

 

+1.

 

if u want performance braking, and if u can live with brake dust, just go with brembo blanks rotors ans any semi metallic pads...and you're set!

 

what about the airflow being reduced by drilled rotors?

 

um, you do realize it costs money to drill/slot them right? anyways, i licked up a set of PBR ultimates (the ceramic) and slotted/drilled rotors from a local store called rotorworks for ~ $250 so I wouldn't call it expensive

 

i know, i would get them pre-drilled/slotted, im just trying to see if the difference in cost is worth it. brembo blanks are say 80$ and drilled are 120$ so is the drilled brake 40$ better than the 80$ one?
