Wich is better drilled rotors or slotted rotors? please leave some info with your opinion, as to why one is better then the other.... thanks

 

blanks...drilled and slotted rotors tend to crack more and most pads dont make gas anyways

 

and most pads dont make gas anyways???????????

 

slotted rotors are better, drilling the rotors can weaken them causing premature failure.... especially in cheap brands from what I have researched

 

get some GSR front brakes for your car. Get a 91EX 4 door MC, new autozone or brembo blanks, a pad that suits your driving needs and that will be fine....

 

would you recomend putting race pads and steel braidded lines on when I do the swap? Is there any certain type of brake fluid that would be better for my setup?

 

Race pads for street driving? Nope, i dont reccomend it, Alot of race pads are only 'functional' at a certain temperature, and normal street driving might not allow you to reach the temperature needs to get the pads full potential. My friend said his Endless pads wouldnt stop for **** when they werent really hot, but when they were heated up, they stopped like a Motherf$#%#

 

You need to look at what purpose the pads are intended for. You don't want to go putting racing pads on a street-only vehicle. Pads typically work best in certain heat ranges. Racing pads are subject to more abuse and typically work best at higher heat ranges than street pads. Street pads are designed for lower heat ranges since they will most likely not be abused like race pads. So, if you put race pads on a street vehicle, they won't work very well until properly warmed up and that may be a very bad thing.

Don't bother with braided lines if your current lines are in good condition.

Check out ATE racing fluid.

 

thanks for all the input, More would be great....

 

Bremo blanks
Project Mu Pads Or NISSIN
ITR Booster and GSR master cylinder

 

Get a 5 lug conversion..i did mine and it works great..all OEM and awesome stopping power. But i also changed my master cylinder with a GSR one and prop valve along with SS lines.


Blanks are better than slotted or crossdrilled for street applications...just get those if you want to impress your friends with your bling..

drilled or slotted rotor companies usually say that they slot and drill to expel gas that is released from the pads, which some pads used to back in the day, but most pads now dont, so there is no real reason for drilled or slotted rotors

 

axxis metal master pads or ebc greenstuff... both great for street/track

 

ive got slotted and AEM/Nissin pads...love em
