Rotor Pros - What do you think?

[doodguy]

Anyone ever used them before for brake rotors?

I'm debating upgrading my brakes next, and wondering whats a cheaper worthwhile upgrade?

I have the GT Premium; would I benefit from drilled/slotted rotors much at all?

I would be curious to know as well. It looks like you have to email them for pricing, which makes me think it's more than I'd want to pay...

Let me say this: Pricing is CRAZY fair. I don't want to say what they quoted me cuz that's bad practice right? But I'll tell you its VERY worth the email to them.

I found them through a post on another guy's build; he mentioned he was putting them on his car along with a ton of other stuff. ZO6PSI I think the name was.

What do drilled and slotted rotors do?

Help your brakes stay cooler and help you stop faster supposedly.

How do they work?

I am supposed to be receiving my PP rotors next week. I will do a write up on them.

No not much. I bought them to get rid of my awful brake squeal. They feel a little more grabby under heavy braking. I say they are well worth it.

I was SHOCKED at the price I was quoted--in a good way! Anyone else have any experience with them that can speak to quality?

Hey man, will you let us know when you get them your honest thoughts? I'm thinking of buying these, but don't want to be sorry.

The cross drilled decreases your braking surface area, so you actually increase braking distance.. Cross drilled rotors were for race cars that used asbestos brake pads. They have been long gone. The need for cross drilled isn't really there anymore. They look neat that's about it. The slotted will chew up your pads faster but it actually will help decrease braking distances. Slotted only rotors are pretty effective. What decreases braking distances the most, is larger rotor diameter and more aggressive pads. The fluid helps with fade.

Great info!

Don't the drilled help with cooling as well?

How much faster will slotted eat up pads?

Is there a different brake upgrade you would recommend? My front brakes are 4 piston I believe (I got the GT Premium; NON performance) and I been eyeing the Brembos, but they are on ebay for 4 to 8k!!!
