drilled and slotted rotors

[Ichabod]

Worth the money on a daily driver? I know it's not going to hurt but is it really a good 800 dollar investment on a basically stock PP GT. (Borla ATAK is the only bolt on)

no. Modern cars and brakes will actually stop less with drilled and slotted due to loss of friction area.

It is basically $800 in BLING

A good set of front slotted rotors can save you some 20 pounds in rotational mass, however I think that is a mod left on the table until you explore some other basic mods. Spending that $900 on suspension parts or a tune would serve you better.

Great for looks, but not a great deal of bang for the buck, that being said, I put them on my car, but the car I track I only has slotted rotors because they hold up better, but still let the gases out between the pad and rotor.

You don't need to spend 900 on a set of rotors. If you talk to Rich at Rotorpros you can get front and rear rotors WITH pads for under $500. If you're interested tell him I sent ya.

Yeah, many better ways to spend $800.

For a little more the $800 you can get new springs & adjustable struts & shocks. There are many things to spend $800 on than this.

I also say no, not only because they're just not worth it, but because in many cases, drilling the rotors causes microscopic stress fractures. Those fractures can end up with an exploded rotor if you get the thing hot enough.

Yeah but they look good.

 

[Ichabod]

Haha. They do look great. Let's be honest, I'm cheap. Too cheap to afford to build my car the way I'd prefer. Also too cheap for the traffic violations. As long as it looks and sounds great, I'm happy.

I agree with [MENTION=15779]z06psi[/MENTION] and [MENTION=12175]Khyber[/MENTION], you would be surprised at the price of full set of Rotorpros. I just ordered a set of double slotted for myself.

 

[Khyber]

yup I paid $425 or 450 I can't remember for all 4 with pads for front and rear.

Any weight savings of these vs stock?
