So Im happy with the OEM brakes on the car, pretty tuff and great stopping power but my stock rotors have rusted a bit. Im looking to throw on some drilled rotors. I want something cheap enough but good quality. Not looking for ebay nickel plated for $100 junk but also not looking to spend $800 on front and rear.
Any recommendations would be a big help.



Thanks again guys.

 

Drilled rotors are BS and for show. If you want something show and still have good function go with slotted rotors. Stop tech is a good brand.

To save money, remove your stock rotors, use a fine media to clean them up, have them cryo treated by SubZero. Paint the centers with G2 caliper paint kit, then put back on the car.
They will look great, stop great, and last for a very, very long time.

Spend your money on something that will actually give you better stopping power like stainless steel lines and a quality fluid.

Good luck

 

Really?
I never thought it made a difference between slotted or drilled. Most super cars come factory with drilled, no?
Even Spoon makes a drilled rotor.

In any case I planed on changed the lines at the same time. I'll look into the stop techs.

Thanks

 

when i replace my rotors soon, i think im gonna go with the slotted 1 pc, HPS Hawk pads, stainless lines, ATF superblue fluid, all from Science of Speed, they seem to know their stuff... without the fluid i think its under 700 for the whole thing

 

Drill rotors are mainly just a show thing. Spoon's "drilled" rotor are make with the holes cast into them, rather then actually being drilled, which is considered at least a little better.

 

What about the drilled and slotted from SOS?
No good?

 

Really depends what your intended use is. If just for street, it doesn't really matter. For track, I personally stay away from drilled rotors, cast or not.

 

I would just get some Brembo blank OEM replacements. They are a little cheaper than OEM.

If you want more stopping power get better pads. But don't expect them to be quiet. Race pads squeek like a school bus.

 

Fixed.

 

Race pads on the street are far from ideal. Driving to/from the track, it's okay. On a daily driver, it's stupid.
