I want to upgrade my brakes slitly but i dont have much money for a complete brake upgrade kit, i am thinking of gettin drilled and slottled brembro rotors but my friend told me drilled suck. Some one give me some advice on what i should do.

 

and don't regret buying them at all!

 

BUT they are not BREMBO rotors. I got it from IRotors

 

And they look so da** nice!

 

 

Instead of just putting those "one-up" smilies, can someone list the benifits of a slotted and x-drilled rotor over the stock one? And which is better, the "copper" looking one, or the "stainless steel" one? I was talking to some org members and they told me that cross drilled/slotted (brembo) rotors worsen braking performance becuase theres less surface area. The only benifits they have is they are a lot less prone to warping. But why the hell would someone pay all that money for something that is less prone to warping, yet decreases breaking performance?

 

Better pads will yield you better brakes. The pad is what generates the friction which makes you stop.

If you don't want to spend a lot of $$$ upgrading your brakes, just get some nice pads on your car. Drilled or slotted rotors look nice and perform quite well. But the real stopping power comes from the pads.

 

Thanks for the pad info, but you still didn't answer my question(s)

 

Pads first, rotors second (because they are genereally half dead in the first place), brake fluid fourth, calipers third, SS lines fourth.

Pads generate heat.

Rotors absorb heat.

Brake fluid is tollerant to heat.

Calipers generate more heat.

SS lines don't get affected by heat.

SS lines give you instant pressure transfer, expansion resistant ...

 

B/C of the higher specific heat of stainless steel vs. the rubber.
