Im goin to buy new pads and rotors soon and wanting to get something good. Im wanting to keep stock wheels and calipers. Im not road racing so its really just for the track and street. But whats better drilled slotted or just slotted.

Neither, you don't need them. Just get some Autozone rotors and you'll be good.

 

i have brembo drilled/slotted and ceramic pads, and my car stops like no other car ive ever seen. just beware when buying ceramic pads; the box says "no dust", even though theres way more than regular pads...best mod ive done to my car though... i spent 240 for everything shipped

 

where can i get that similiar setup for that price

Have you had problems with the Valueblah ones? They were like $14 when I went there. Thanks.

 

autozone rotors rock. so cheap you can afford to change them out yearly if you want. they are lifetimed so if anything happens back to autozone they go.

Is that the Duralast/Aimco ones ($23) or the Valuezone ones ($14)?

They're $23, so I guess Duralast. Drilled/Slotted are worthless and waste of $$ ESPECIALLY if you don't track your car. benb18a's increased stopping power came from his pads, not his rotors.

 

If you're not racing just get some Brembo blanks and carbon/ceramic pads (NOPI).
If you're racing occasionally, Brembo slotted or drilled rotors and above pads.
FYI, Brembo doesn't sell slotted and drilled rotors itself. It weakens the rotors too
much and doesn't provide much advantages. I've had both the slotted and drilled
Brembo rotors and like the drilled ones better for hard repeated stops. The slotted
ones tend to get filled with brake dust and you have to clean them repeatedly.

 

what's wrong with valucraft rotors? seriously, explain to me the delicate intricacies between these and brembo blanks that makes such a substantial difference.

i work at autozone, and i use valucraft rotors. there's no difference between them and the duralast. you are basically paying for a longer warranty, and if you prefer to do so, knock yourself out.

 

rotora rotors are nice. theyre slotted so theres very lil warping.

Rotoras are nice, but too damn expensive at about $125/rotor. Just get Autozone blanks.

 

if you can find Zimmerman cross drilled rotors, they are pretty cheap. I got my cross drilled fronts for $50 each. Zimmerman makes rotors for porshe and various other makes, I have 2 1/2 yrs of autocross on mine and no pulsation.

They didn't even give me a choice for the Valuecraft ones. If they had, I'd probably have tried them out. Do you know off hand how much ITR rotors are? The warranty's nice, though, since rotors are prone to warping.

drilled/slotted are waste of money especially if you DO track your car. You will need to change your rotors much more often with track use, and it would be stupid to use slotted/drilled rotors that cost $50+ each everytime. Besides, all that surface area missing is not helping out your stopping.
