Need Opinion On Rotors----------------
First of anyone hear of Paraut rotors? If so how are they? Now what are your opinions on xdrilled/slotted rotors? Do they really give you better braking power or just for looks?

The way that slotted / drilled rotors work (better) is that during hard, repeated braking the pad actually starts melting. As it melts it turns to gas. This gas has no place to go, it is trapped between the rotor and the pad. This gas cusion make braking real difficult.
The main finction of the slots / drill holes is to evacuate that gas, keeping the pad solidly connected to the rotor. The slots and especially the drilled help cool the pad during braking. It is not to cool the disk itself, or not the major reason.
One thing to note is that drilled rotors have the highest incidence of cracking, especially in colder climates.
Personally I would go for slotted.

But not under normal driving conditions. I am also going for slotted next time. Right now I have crossed drilled and I want to see if there is any difference in stopping power.

I bought slotted rotors from Fastbrakes.com. It was a deal at the time, but I got all four slotted Rotors for 245. I got brake fluid, SS lines, pads, and rotors on all four corners for $500 Oh yeah I even got speed bleeders.

Brian at fastbrakes.com is a good guy to deal with. I got my brakes from him and many of my friends have as well. I'm sure phuong is a great guy to deal with as well.

How long do these slotted/drilled rotors last?
I had a pair of proslot slotted rotors on my thunderbird for a year and they are warped. (yes I followed all the break in procedures and put on new pads) Now what? I don't think you can turn them?
Is this a problem with the maxima? How long will they really last.

I can't find the original thread because it was probably in the GD forum, but I did find this thread.

From Shing:
"Fastbrakes is offering a group buy pricing for a set of slotted rotors that are silver cad plated(won't rust) for $245 shipped. This is for all four... need 10 people to get the deal going at this price. "
I don't think the GD ever went through but I got them at this price and was very pleased with Brian's service.

Brian hooked me up to on those CAD ones but pricing has since gone up ($275+ I think). Check with him for the latest. Again, great service.
