Unhappy I need help picking rotors

ok my drivers side rotor is rediclously warped and glased after like 4-5k miles (kvr cross drilled) so im searching for new rotors,
now do i go with the fake brembos on e-bay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...item=598572711

just sloted brembos or powerslots,

cross drilled again

the car sees atleast 100mph every time i drive it, im not easy on the brakes either, ive faded to the point i dint think the car was gonna stop a few 120, 140-0 runs,the kvr cross drilled and carbon fiber pad( bads are 1/2 gone after 4-5k miles alredy) with ss lines and ate super blue fluid

so im swiching to hps pads, but wich rotors?

from my re-search the best ting are sloted rotors,

Slotting, unlike drilling, is not prone to cracking. ( i put 5k HARD miles on kver cross drilled and they sho absolutely no signs of cracking) Plus drilling delivers considerably less active braking surface. 108% less than Power Slot. While slotted/drilled rotors deliver 153% less area than Power Slot. so it looks liek the fake brembos are a real waste, you get questionably quality, and 153% less brake to do what you need it to ....

so im on the hunt for sloted rotors whos got the best price?

but the best price i can find is 206 for the frnt pair from autosupermarket


thanks guys

Lenny,

I got the real Brembos from ebay for 150 a pair. They work awesome. Get yourself a pair. they are worth every dollar.

wich "real brembos"? what the guys e-mail addy.. the slotted and X drilled are brembo rotors, but the sloting, and x driling is done by a third party NOT brembo..hence the fake ness, theres a thread abt it in here....not that i dont trust them, i just figure why loose 153% i need all the surface area i can get i mean its only 50 bux difference...

hey Bacon,

if you want slotted Brembo rotors at the same or near acution (ebay 140~150 a pair) price, you may ask the seller if he/she can get you just slotted ones.


or...


i can help you out. i know the seller in orange county (also e-bay seller), and im meeting up with him today (sunday). if you want to do that, email me or give me a call at the number i gave you through the PM. (check your PM)

anyway, i just wanted to help you get those slotted ones at reasonable price. hope this helps~

ps: his rotors have STRAIGHT CUTS not curved.

i'm in need of rotors too, I probably go with the powerslot though, just because I trust they do a better job slotting the rotors than some unknown machineshop... powerslot also come plated.

I have the slotted KVR rotors, which are Brembos, slotted by another company.


There is no difference between the KVR slotted rotors and slotted Brembos.
