I going crazy waiting for the parts for the timing gear. so I looked at my brakes, and my rotor are severly worn and the pads are pretty bad tooo, so I looked on e-bay and saw many rotors cheap. there are drilled and slotted. any thoughts any good experinces with them? I heard you should go drilled only for street use ..I will never track my car and want them for a little better stoping but mostly for looks . thanks wayne

 

Ebay rotors suck, just get a set of plain brembo or zimmerman for cheap. Plus you have that backwards, drilled and slotted are for track, not street. the more brake pad to rotor surface, the better the stop. Just add in a good street pad and you are fine for the power you are making.

 

eBay is always a crap shoot.

 

trinet motorsport sells **** on ebay, I think its gforce brakes that sell the real zimmerman rotors. I loved mine I got, had them almost a year with no signs of wear.

my setup:

 

I got zinnermen's from gforce on ebay. they are ok, seams like they rust quickly though.

 

You gotta watch it with cross drilled, if a company takes a solid rotor and cross drills it for aftermarket use, chances are, it wasn't engineered or stress relieved, and you'll end up with a cracked rotor after a couple good heat cycles.
If you want cross drilled rotors, Zimmerman is probably one of the best to go with.

Also, you'll probably only see a little difference in street driving with cross drilled, they do perform better on the track, where you'll see much higher brake temperatures, but keep in mind, if you are going to track your car, cross drilled rotors are banned from competition in some events. Goes back to the whole cracking/potentially grenading scenario.

 

i hate how the rear rotors are tiny, is it possible to upgrade the size of them to make it seem as though they are so pewny. the front ones look good cause they take up most of the wheel well but the rears eeesh... you like gotta look for the rotor to see it haha
