Can anyone clarify as to what performace/any differences there are between dimpled/drilled & slotted/or just slotted?

 

I'd be in for 5th generation slotted or cross drilled rotors.

 

To summarize in the fewest possible words, the dimpled rotors give you the benefits of a drilled rotor without the drawbacks of a drilled rotor (ie vulnerability to cracking, lower braking power due to decreased mass, etc). The slotted rotors serve a different purpose, namely to prevent glazing of the brakes since it is self cleaning and it keeps the operating temperature higher so you get that braking power right from the start.

That is why I want to try and get dimpled+slotted. Apparently this guy's hookup has Brembo rotors, but not drilled, slotted or dimpled by Brembo. He said that Brembo does not do their own drilling, etc. I talked to Southwest Autoworks and they said that the Brembo rotors that they sell have been drilled by Brembo. So I don't know whom to believe here. I don't think either of them are lying, but they could just have misinformed sources.

 

I don't really know either. The guy said that all these rotor places get drilling done aftermarket. Brembo just provides the blanks. Perhaps Brembo does offer drilled rotors, but are more expensive, explaining why SWA ones are more expensive as compared to these other rotor places.

 

I don't really care who drills the rotors, as long as they are reliable. These guys do have great prices. Does anyone have any experience with the guys who are doing the drilling, slotting and dimpling of these rotors? I don't want the rotor to fall apart after a year of use. I don't mind spending double this amount to get a rotor that someone reputable like Brembo drills, for the satisfaction of it not falling apart after a short period.

Another thing, does this guy offer any sort of a warranty? Thanks!

 

I want in. How soon can we buy?

 

5th gen (2000-2001) is now included in the Group Buy, however they are not Brembo Blanks being used. They are made by autospecialty.
Price remains the same for 5th and 4th gen. Can everyone ready to buy please email me at mojo_ato@yahoo.com with their Name and whether they need 4th or 5th generation? I want to verify the 20 people and at the same time collect email addresses to send out payment information.. The quicker we get 20 people, the quicker we get the rotors in hand.

Thanks!

 

Okay let me get this straight... now you're saying that the blank rotor themselves are NOT Brembo or is this ONLY for 2000-2001? Just need clarification because I'm hearing a few different things. Thanks!

 

Sorry if I worded it weird. The 2000-2001 only are not Brembo. The 4th gen ones are Brembo.

 

Are these rotors just regular rotors with holes drilled or what? Also what kind of warranty comes with these rotors?

 

Do you have any pics of the rotors for the 5th Gen.


Thanks

 

No pics, I'll see if I can get some from him.. I am thinking I won't be able to get pics however because he didn't have any on hand, that's why there was a delay to find them.

These are regular rotors with the cross drilled / slotted part done aftermarket. 90 Day Warranty..

 

I would be interested if i see the pics first

 

Are they any good? Is it a good GB for 5th gen?

 

Could you hook me up with rears only? 5th gen? How much would they be shipped to Toronto, Canada?

 

Rears are $90, don't know how much shipping will be. Will check with the person the rotors are coming from.

Also, he does not have any pics of the 5th gen ones. He does not have them in stock. He will be getting them once I confirm the group buy.

I only have 4 confirmations so far... If you want in, please email me at mojo_ato@yahoo.com with what generation max you want the rotors for so I can forward everyone payment information once the deal goes through.

 

I just got a reply. He said he can Zinc plate them for $10 ($5 if you're only getting front or back). For the people in Canada, he can ship USPS but has not given a price.

 

When can we get this GB started?

 

This GB has been started, I'm trying to collect 20 people... I only have 4 definites so far.

 

Those who have intrest and are on the list, can we please leave contact info with MaxMoJo so we can get this GD on the way. Of the list, only 4 people gave contact info. We need 16 more definite which means we need 16 more people to give contact information. Thanks

From the thread, we had a lot of people interested. Now that I started collecting information of those ready to buy, I only have 4 confirmations... What's going on? As soon as we get 20 people, we can get our rotors.

 

Is this group deal still on? If not I'm declining out of the deal, and just going to get the Rotors elswhere. I need brakes really bad and can't afford waiting to much longer. Thanks Anyway for trying to get the group deal going.

 

I've been trying to explain to everyone, the group deal is still going on, we just need 20 people.. According to the responses on the thread, we had maybe 16 people interested. Once I emailed everyone for contact information, I only got 4 confirmations.. So as soon as we get 20 people, we can all pay and get our rotors asap.

 

Hey man, I don't think I got a response from you to my last e-mail... the problem might be on my end though either in sending or not receiving all incoming e-mails...

Anyway just to avoid any confusion, here's my request... I need stock rotor size for a 95SE 11.02"x0.87" in the front and 10.94"x0.35" in the rear and I am looking for dimpled+slotted rotors with cadium plating.

Please give me the price of a set of 4.

Thanks!

I'm interested. Does slotting kill brake pads quicker? Would just having dimpled rotors work well? I don't want to go through a set of brake pads every year. But I do want better braking. And the price is definitely right.

 

Dimpled will be $20 extra because they have to re-tool the machine.. so $200 +shipping.

 

So do we have enough conformations to get the rotors on the way yet?

 

I have:

RavQ
azmaxima520
pharondmist
jiggity

If you are not on this list but are interested, Please email me at mojo_ato@yahoo.com

 

at this rate i ain't never gonna get my brakes! this is a good deal people! where else are you gonna find a deal this good?

 

Can the people listed just get the group deal then? It's going to take 4ever to get this going.

 

The store will only give us that price if we get 20 people, that's the point of a group buy. I am starting to think this may be a lost cause, I'm not getting any replies..

 

We appreciate the effort.

 

I am interested in a front set for a 89. I need them ASAP. I live in NOPI land headquarters but they want to much for them. If I cant get these I am going to just get blanks. But I really want to try them. How long does these rotor usually last??

 

What's the regular price, without the group deal?
I know that this might turn some people off, but if it's only a few $$ difference, maybe it can still be a deal for others.

Bottom line - if you need the brakes, and it's only a few bucks more, suck it up and get em folks. We're far too cheap on here (yeah, I know some of us can't afford the extra $10... but then why aren't you buying OEM?? ).

Sorry to bail on you. As mentioned in the email, KYBs and custom stereo were already in progress, and higher up the list.

Good luck!

I believe $195 for front and back (shipping stays same) is the original price.

 

So you're saying the original price for front and back cross drilled and slotted are $195??!!? Another place told me $139 for the front and $149 for the rear cross drilled and slotted. What is the contact info for this place that sells them for $195 back and front, or Any othe place that sells them near that price??? Thanks in advance

 

+2 more people..

 

Why don't you ask if they'll do 18 instead of 20?

 

We only have 6 confirmations.. the 16 in the initial post were only interested, when I emailed for confirmation, they either dropped out or didn't reply.
