Rotor Options

Need to replace rotors, looking for some ideas. Not interested in anything extravagant, just something to replace my stock ones.

Thanks

Check out the GD section, lots of good stuff in there. I just put on Powerslots w/ OEM Pads and am very happy with them.

Thanks man, but when it comes to brakes, I'd rather buy brand new. If something happens I like having a company to gripe at

Not to imply that there is anything wrong with what you're selling, but I buy used from you, if I'm not happy, I get to blame you, which in turn gets me nothing. I buy from Stillen, I'm not happy, I gripe enough to them, I can probably get them to take care of whatever my problem is. Again, not to say anything about you, but it's just a matter of preference.

As soon as my stockers went bad (same week I bought the car) I went out and bought the Stillen Cross Drilleds (as someone posted), they warped within a month. Went with Brembo blanks, they went bad real quick as well. I've now had the Slotted PowerSlots for I believe 2 years and their still working great. This is just my experience though....

So, I am about to buy some Brembo blanks, and I read here that they also have warpage issues.

Anyone else experience this, or is it just NuJerseyDrive and his overtightened lug nizzuts?

fyi...it wasnt overtightened. My mechanic always torques them to spec. Who knows, maybe I got a bad set. But like I said, I've had the PowerSlots for 2 years and still no issues. I'll be sticking to PowerSlots from here on.

cheapest brembo place i have eve found without a GD... .

http://www.importrp.com/left.php?sub...el=197&year=32

The blanks are worth it... i used raybestos with oem rotors, and they squeak...

My next setup will be brembo blanks and OEM pads.
