Hey guys, for the spring id like to upgrade my rotors and pads. Id like to go for some zink plated, as i like the look of them. And either cross or drilled rotors. I don't track my car, but i may a few times this summer.

i found some super nice EBC rotors cross and drilled for 178 shipped for the front set.

Any other recommendations? I dont want to spend a whole lot of money on them but around 180 for the front set would be good.

why do you want zinc plated? It will wear off very quickly.

 

It helps to keep the rotors clean. it shouldn't wear off quick, i don't believe. And just the look of the zink plate i like.

don't buy drilled rotors.


just don't. unless you're a poser, then go for it!

 

you know what keeps rotors clean? slots.

keeps the pad and surface clean, but cross drilled is just useless these days.

Personally from experience I would recommend "PowerSlot" rotors.

look it up.

 

Thanks, so i don't want cross AND drilled, just one of them. Thanks for the useful reply aaron. Il check them right now.

Oem

 

I obviously dont want oem. If i did, well i would not have started a thread for aftermarket rotors, lol. Thanks anyways!

 

Here, dug this up just for you

Centric slotted rotors are win.

 

+1

 

Is this how they spell zinc in Canada?
or is this just the typical internet dribble?

 

your two options are "crossed drilled rotors" OR "slotted rotors".
some rotors do come both crossed drilled and slotted however.

crossed or drilled is not an option. (pffft NEwb. lol)

I believe the generally consensus says slotted are better then cross drilled, Like my stop techs

 

DOH your right. Sorry my bad, i think i posted this thread at 2:30 in the morning. wasn't exactly all in. And yes its Zinc, not Zink, lol. Wow, reminder to self: Dont post after 12:01am

And yes, i DON'T want Drilled and slotted, just one. And preferably Slotted. The EBC ones i seen are really nice and for the front set of rotors shipped are 178.00.

Yeah no worries Markus, was just making sure. thought u must have been drunk or something

 

The Zinc plating WILL wear off pretty quick, especially if you drive at all aggressively. It might also harm the pads. I don't think I'd ever consider buying from someone selling plated rotors, it shows that they're much more interested in making a sale to a poor, ignorant person than selling a good product. Not the sort I'd want to deal with.

If you're worried about the appearance, paint the non friction surface of the rotors, it'll keep them from getting rusty and ugly.
