ok i need new rotors now that my new pads eat the **** out of the stocks hopefully i can pick them up tomorrow. i was thinking getting cross drilled and slotted rotors from brembo but people have said that the cross drilled are prone to cracking should i stick with slotted? need help thanks in advance

 

just slotted, or OEM blanks. I'd go w/ the OEM/Brembo's.

 

don't go with crossdrilled they are ****. Brembo only does one or the other, never both. If you see Brembo rotors that are drilled and slotted they were done by a company that bought blanks and did it themselves. Drilled are to weak slotted work better because the disapate better,

 

For daily driving and auto-x all you need are blanks. If you want to save money just get some Autozone blanks.

 

I agree with Timmy just get blanks I have Cross drilled and slotted and now I realize they are no better.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much misinformation out there about cross drilled / slotted rotors.

Modern pads no longer give off gas, there is no need for drilled rotors. Porsche and other high end manufactures do it for wet braking ability

 

just for what its worth, i use brembo blanks

 

Dude brembo blanks are under 30 bucks each I mean come on.. enthusiastauto or whatever over in sponsors is sellin all kinds of brembo rotors check it out.

 

hmm i would like to get a hold of some brembo blanks for under 30 ill do that jsxtek , my main problem right now is i just got new brake pads and when i drove on the freeway yesterday i was slowing down real fast because of a lady who cut me off and my rotors got really hot as i exited the freeway my brakes were really hard to work with i had to down shift and use my e brake and swerve to the side to keep from hitting someone i know the rotors are out and need changing but i also wanted to prevent my rotors from getting too hot i had to park my car for 30 minutes then hopped back in and it was normal again

 

According to the Tire Rack website:

"Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors are coated for corrosion resistance to help eliminate rust and offer a bold, aggressive appearance to enhance the look of the vehicle’s road wheels."

The Brembo Blanks do not come with the corrosion resistance coat. I currently have the blanks on my car and there is noticable rust. I really don't like the looks of rusty rotors, so one reason I would consider getting the Brembo slotted or cross-drilled rotors is because of the corrosion resistance. Does anybody here know how effective the coat is? If it doesn't completely eliminate rust, does it significantly decrease or slow down the rusting process?

Also, I would imagine that the slotted rotors would be slightly lighter than the blanks and the cross-drilled rotors would be slightly lighter than the slotted. I know that Brembo Blanks for an ITR weighs about 15 lbs. Does anybody know how much weight savings a slotted or cross-drilled Brembo rotor would yield?

 

found some rotors brembo blanks for 29.95 anyone in the socal area need this hookup let me know

 

your rotors shouldnt be rusty if you driving your car

and the fact that the new holes and slots actualy increase the pad wear!!! cuz it looks to me like you want to increase your pad life.

plus, honestly, how hard do you drive that you need to fight hydrofloating and extreme heat/gas?? do your brakes turn red when you circuit race? no? i thought so

just get bigger brakes, if you want more stopping power, or a caliper with more pistons,

and if you want your car to look cool at the same time, just paint the calipers a matching colour and be happy

 

Ive had slotted and cross drilled on a few of my cars, ive never noticed a difference.

 

do you circuit race your car for over 30 min?

 

i got some other rotors today instead. centric or something like that blanks. thanks for everyones input.

i wasnt being an ***, i was just asking, simply judging from his signature it seemed that the he drag races alot, which puts a completly diffrent stress on the rotors, which is why he might not notice a diffrence between slotted and blanks

this thread had a "flow" to it, i simply picked up on it, reading is an art too.

 

my apologies to 7thGear

 

Slotted or drilled shouldn't be necessary on any street driven car. OEM blanks or Brembo blanks should be fine, but if you ever get into road racing, go with slotted, I've seen more than a few cracked rotors, and all of them were drilled.

 

in fact you actualy get a greater surface area from blanks! think about it
