Brake rotor time..........
 

Its time for brake rotors. I have 160K on the original rear rotors, front ones are warped. I am going to get new rotors to replace all. What do you guys recommand i should get? Stock type, Crossdrilled, Slotted? I want mine to last through 2 sets of brake pads bfeore replacing, and I warp my rotors easily. What should I get? Also what brand? Thanks

hmm. my T2 needs new rotors atleast in the back. where is the cheapest place to get brembo oe rotors ? someplace online had a good deal i forgot the website though

I have the Powerstop cross drilled rotors on there right now.

Vosko: check Brake Parts Werehouse www.brakeco.com

For street use Plain or Slotted are best - Cross Drilling tends to weaken the rotors and are prone to CRACKING

just bought crossed drilled for mine. found the best price at http://www.pureperf.com. i got cadium plating and carbon fiber/kevler brake pads. the whole setup ran $250 for an 86 N/A.

thanks i just ordered new rear rotors and pads the ones on the car were shot ;)

vosko, how much for the rear rotors

$60 each. i got a pair of rear rotors and a set of axxis pads total was around $200 i think

powerslot slotted rotors I BELIEVE are Brembo blanks that are then slotted. The slots are freaking TEENY, and don't seem to provide much cooling capacity at all, as brake dust just collects in them (I have 'em on my '92 Civic EX, same price to replace as originals, with AEM pads (dusty pads by the way, (I think)) and they just fill up with brake dust).

slots dont cool, they allow gasses to escape :)

neither do cross drilled. they are for gasses too. both sloted and cross drilled rotors cool worse. it's mass that cools, and both are lighter... the idea of cross drilled rotors first came from lighting the rotors for quicker accel. (same as lighter wheels) they never had intensions of making braking better.

www.frozenrotors.com cryogenically treated if you serious about them lasting. These definitely will. I think they're 106 for the front set. and they can also slot or drill them. extra ofcourse. you only really need that up front.

I got my new OEM rears and Powerslot rotors from www.mazdaformance.com Brian there has great service and has some really competative prices. Give him a try too.
