just wanna take a vote on which yall prefer?

rotora slotted

powerslot slotted

brembo blanks

 

Brembo blanks since I did the Legend caliper swap. Brembo blanks are all thats available.

 

The only thing about Brembo is that the hub part always rusts.

 

axxis ultimates and brembo blanks, easily.

 

I have had brembos before and they are hard to warp. The powerslots are great rotors as well and I have never had problems on my cars that have them. I personally think rotoras seem cheap for some reason although I have no first hand experience with them. Also a thing to keep in mind is the proportioning of the brake system. you can't just put huge brakes in the front and expect good braking performance. Same goes for the rear. And even if you put one companys crap at all for corners and the rotor sizes are bigger and the caliper volumes change you will still have crappy brakes compared to something that works as a system that was designed to work on the car. Although most people would care less and not notice the difference between a great biased car and a half assed one. I prefer a bit more rear brake than most anyways as it helps in autocross and touge situations.

 

autozone lifetime warrenty

 

I just got some generic (OPparts) rotors front & rear . . . I'm real impressed with them. Got them on eBay from user 'speedydynamic' . . . $110 shipped for a set of 4 blank rotors. And they're zinc coated so the hubs & edges don't rust.

 

Id say brembo blanks just because thats what i have. They feel good with hawk pads. But yea like you guys were sayn the hub rusts. Could i just use some rust remover and get off wut i can then sand it and paint it or will the rust underneath cause the paint to not adhere correctly ?

 

It's all about the axxis ultimate brake pads and the brembo blanks, or like me--get the autozone oem rotors and get a set of new free ones before the warrenty is up. A lot of people have been going that route lately.

 

if it's your daily driver, then use brembo blanks.

that's why you smear the hub with anti-sieze before you put your wheel back on

If you don't get every spec of it off, given time the rust'll just bubble the paint up & come through again.

If it's not too bad, a sand-blaster would make short work of it. But I say just get them corrosion-coated to begin with.

no one tested the rotoras? for autox you said better rear brakes but how do you get that exactly when using good quality parts on all 4?

 

i have powerslot up front and oem in the rear with oem pads all around

i actually just had the powerslots installed about 500 miles ago.. and those, combined with brand new honda pads and steel braided lines make for some very effective braking when compared to oem rotors... as to rotora and brembo.. couldn't tell ya

 

any one out there used the rotoras? i like the fact how they are slotted of course but also that they have black hubs and black coated. the black matches with my scheme

 

I think It all depends on the purpose of the brakes, for daily driving I'd just use brembo blanks less expensive or powerslot but little bit more expensive. Rotora never experience with them. I recently did all my brakes on my 94 vtec with brembo blanks and I'm happy with them, but to vote on your 3 discs I'd vote for powerslot because of the extra bling that my brembo blanks don't have, I just didn't feel like spending the extra bucks for the bling, maybe next time .

 

well i guess i will be the first to step outside the brembo blank world and try the rotoras lol

 

The rotoras look nice, and I'm sure will perform the same as any other slotted rotor . . . they're just way too expensive.

I've always wondered about this 'till no end.... What's a person to do to achieve "balance" while still ataining better braking over stock? Changing the master cylinder in consideration of the new capacity (if it is different from stock at all) of the new pistons in an after market kit?

Hmmmmm......my brain hurts.

Seriously though I'd love to sit down and talk to some one who considers him/herself as "brake master."

my brain hurts too. i think he was talking about big brakes? if your puttin oe replacements on all 4 corners with all new pads and lines. why would you lose "balance"? and out of curiosity how do rotora rotors seem cheap if you have never had hands on. are you that good that looking at a pic (universal) you can tell if they are cheap or not?

 

i have rotora cross drilled and slotted with axxis pads and my car stops pretty dam quick. And on top of it, they all get their discs from the same dam company just slot it and/or drill it differently. Im going to have to go with rotora and axxis

 

finally someone out there with rotoras lol cept im not getting cross drilled and slotted, just slotted

how exactly does this help? just curious

 

it allows you to set the bias of the braking yourself, although i wouldn't recommend doing it if you feel really confident in your knowledge of things like that.
