Say since we are slowly getting back on topic. and since I started this thread to get some info. lol and a little more than I bargained for. =)
so anyways, in the begining i was wondering about slotted and cross drilled. So far I heard is that slotted would be better but I dont think I am going to go that way. I recently aquired a GSL rear end with rusted rotors.
You think I should re-surface the rotors or just replace them with the stock ones.
Right now I have drum in the rear and getting ready for the switch. Any more useful info would be great.

I honestly would say don't even bother with slotted or cross-drilled. I think you'd be better off with normal rotors that are made exactly to spec for the car, but that's just my opinion...and it is your car, so you could always take the advice and do your own thing anyway.

mar3 : Just to take this further off track, that buy reminds me of a guy that made Car Craft about two decades back. He was a Mopar nut and started buying all the inventory he could related to Hemi......this is before the first speculation wave pushed 'Cudas into the high 5 digit realm. It was a 4 page article and he had reams of stuff just stacked everywhere in his garage....spare heads, blocks, factory dipsticks, oil filters, plug boots and wires, etc.....like 5 to 6 of all of everything.......God, he must be sitting on a fortune now....
peejay : I have that issue.
His name was Charles Cheshire.
I know this from memory.

I like the extreme slotted rotors of jays83gsl...they should dissipate heat quite well without even any ducting...
.....it's always amazing what peeps will do to their beaters....how far they'll drive it until they absolutely have to do the repair...
Here's all you really need to know....if the car is going to be a daily driver with some track time, but not every single weekend for a full racing season....and YOUR RIMS don't show much back there to begin with, then just resurface those rotors and get good brake pads.
If your rims will allow a good look at your calipers and the rotors and this is a daily driver outlined as before, there is absolutely no danger of cracks developing in cross-drilled rotors in such an application and it looks cooler, too....which is what this is really about anyway.
If ithis is a daily-driver-and-a-lot-of-track-time car, keep the rotors solid, period, and invest in two types of pads to interchange between street and track duty.
