i got the slotted/dimpled rotors from the GD, last year. i think they have about 20k on em. they are causing judder already. i am so sick of doing the brakes. what are the brake options these days? i am thinking the slotted ones can't be turned down???

i just want some brakes that will last more than 20K...i almost went to the nissan dealership and bought the stock ones...

help

 

there are a few people that went with Brembo blanks with no issues of warping that i know of. what kind of pads did you put with the slotted and do you tighten the lug nuts yourself or is it down by a shop?

 

i used the AXXIS metal masters. when i brake at high speeds, it feels like the steering will fall off. at slower speeds, there is a lot of jerk. the lug nuts were done by discount tire, with the torque wrench...

thanks

 

Slotted can be cut, I had my power slot rotors turned. The only good option is a big brake kit but thats big bucks. There is a thread where a person reported brembo blanks warping faster than stock.

Face it our rotors are undersized for our driving.

 

i took it to the local brake place and he said the machine would eat the rotors, since they have slots. from where did you get them turned? on my 94, i had the ray bestos ( SP ). they were awesome. i know ray makes them for 2K also. i might just go with those. 70 some per rotor

 

No turning our slotted rotors, sorry

 

who told you this as its NOT true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my zinc plated powerslot rotors turned with no problems from a local shop at $8 each.

The slots don't do anything to the lathe, its just less to cut. I did have to clean the slots up with a dremel and they are not as deep as they used to be of course.

Shops lying to you cuz they want you to buy new rotors.

 

i will try another one. but now that they are causing judder, should i replace the brake pads??

 

yes, since the old pads have the 'grooves/bite' of the old rotors. so for a perfect fit and alignment, you want to change them.

 

SSBC 2 piston w/ 13" rotor ?

Stainless Steel Brake Co. Forget their website, but I know they have an affordable 2 piston upgrade kit. Not 4 piston stopping power, but better than stock size w/ metallic pads.

 

where do i find them??

Replace the pads at the same time you do the rotors.
