i currently have a set of slotted and drilled rotors special ordered from advance and i came to a sliding stop once and they warped. i would like a another set s/d rotors but not through advance maybe somthing a little better quality but oem size no big brake kits and i dont want to spend a fortune on rotors

 

oem or hawk quiet slot rotors
http://www.hawkpadsdirect.com/Hawk-P...ors-s/5694.htm

i got them for $75 each and got the hawk performance street pads $63 all for 213 shipped from nolimitmotorsport.com

 

Alot of companies like autozone or advance have lifetime warranties on their rotors...If they warp just take them back and exchange them..

 

its been like 3 years since i got them and i dont have the recipt

 

If they had a lifetime warranty, buy them again, make a copy of the receipt (advance receipts will literally erase themselves with time for this exact reason)

 

ok sounds like a plan to me

 

Brembo blanks. Best bang for your buck. You're actually hurting pad life and gaining very little from slotted/drilled rotors. When you modify the surface of the rotor you actually remove mass, therefore the rotors heat up more quickly.

All you're really gaining is initial bite, otherwise it's really a performance decrease.

 

That's usually if they have gotten wet or been left in the sun/hot car. I've had some put in the parts box in the closet that are just fine.

Most of the time they take your name and phone number and they can pull it it.

 

exactly just try to give them the number and the name you gave when u bought the rotors cause they ask reguardless

 

Brembo blanks!

 

OEM blanks or Brembo

drilled and slotted rotors are useless. they just look "cool" so people like you buy that crap.

Most of the time, theyre blank rotors that are drilled and slotted and usually crack.

 

what do u mean people like me? i asked for an opinion not to be flamed so if u cant be nice stfu

 

Why are Brembo blanks the best "bang for the buck"?

What makes their iron blanks worth twice as much as chain store rotors with lifetime replacement?

 

Some of the cheaper rotors are made with pot metal as filler... Thus warping easier... It would be hard to warp brembo blanks, whereas, You spend the extra money, you wont be making a bunch of warranty claims...

 

Brembo blanks,check the sponsers marketplace.

Then go out and buy some good quality blank rotors, such as Brembo or Wagner. I'd suggest you find something that's not made in China but that seems to be impossible these days.

I always wondered, why Brembo makes drilled/slotted rotors as well?

 

For looks. That's why Porsches come with them too. Purely for aesthetics.

Also, stoptech has a really good tech article talking about rotor warping. Stoptech white papers. They say it is pad material unevenly transferred to the rotor.

 

brembo molds them to be d/s... If you're a brake company and you see d/s rotors selling like hot cakes, would you not sell them too?

 

go with PASSWORD JDM ROTORS ....

 

Brembo blanks aren't expensive. If you think $60-75/set is expensive for a set of quality rotors I don't even want to know what kind of rotors you're buying.

 

This -

Either pay for a set of quality brembo's
or buy 4 sets of cheap-o-rotors from advance/pepboys/etc and spend 2x the amount of money and 4x the amount of labor

 

Then my question is; Do you think that Brembo would out it's name on inferior product?

 

Indeed, Drilled/slotted rotors are merely a marketing scheme. People will buy them so companies manufacture them.

 

OEM Honda pads and rotors will last a whole lot longer than they probably should. I've seen people get over 300,000kms out of a set of factory rotors. Also, cheap rotors will warp something awful.
