Who's making bolt on drilled rotors for the brakes on PP 15' Mustang?

[doodguy]

I'm using rotor pros. Price and quality seem just fine. Hit them up for an estimate. You don't have to pay triple the price

I tracked the crap out of drilled and sloted rotors on my previous car and nothing went wrong ever. Apart for reduced pad life

I have... they crack and fracture easier if left on for extended periods.

Below is a good link in regards to rotors. Drilled & slotted will not perform nearing as well as slotted only. But, they do look good in the Fast & Furious movies.

Get them slotted and dimpled. That way you can get the looks without the risk of cracking

I reaaaally dont wanna get into an argument but i doubt so very much brembo, baer, and wilwood dont know what their doing. Their gt/gtr series (brembo) and their extreme series (baer) come drilled/slotted or both.
My uncles amg came with drilled rotors and not a problem after 50k miles.

Look its like everything...cheap will most likely break faster. The above mentioned brembos, baers, wilwoods ans amgs are cast perforated instead of drilled. They will not crack (although mercedes had a few recalls).
And people wanna blame ricers and "that movie" for this, but look up what cars come oem with drilled rotors. We got mercedes, porche, bmw, aaaand the all American corvette aaaaand the ford gt.

Get the baer drilled and slotteds, they look amazing.

And i counter your 2003 post with this one from 2010

Like I mentioned above they will be fine. There's a huge difference between a street big brake kit and a track big brake kit.


These kits on Porsches, Mercedes, BMW Etc are meant for the street and light track use. The provide really good initial bite as well.

At the race track they run calipers without dust boots due to heat and use slotted or a jhook pattern.

These last longer which is imperative for racing.

Here's a good article

Try actually looking down a few post on that link that you provided. The link that I provided was written by tirerack. Anthony has provided some very good links too, plus, he has track experience.

Go make a thread on Nasioc or EvolutionM in regards to how great drilled rotors are...you will get laughed at.

If I was looking to save some money, I would go with the Steeds slotted rotors. But, I would go with the AP J hook rotors. Those look amazing and actually have excellant performance unlike drilled rotors.


Rotors
Rotors ...
Slotted or drilled ????
slotted rotors maintain approx. 96% of the friction surface
drilled rotors maintain approx. 85-93% of the friction surface
drilled and slotted only maintain 80-91% of the friction surface

For many years most racing rotors were drilled. There were two reasons - the holes gave the "fireband" boundary layer of gasses and particulate matter someplace to go and the edges of the holes gave the pad a better "bite".

Unfortunately the drilled holes also reduced the thermal capacity of the discs and served as very effective "stress raisers" significantly decreasing disc life. Improvements in friction materials have pretty much made the drilled rotor a thing of the past in racing. Most racing rotors currently feature a series of tangential slots or channels that serve the same purpose without the attendant disadvantages.

However, I'm done... I clearing don't know what I am talking about. Get the drilled and rice on.

This place is amazing lol. Theres about nothing anybody can get thats not stock without being called a ricer by a certified auto engineer. Obviously baer, brembo, wilwood, ebc, R1, and shit even rotorpros dont know what they're doing and are just looking to rice things up. For over 3k in some cases. They don't know shit.

I didnt see im the original post a question of whether or not it was a good idea, or a lecture by the experts who blab an entire articles worth and then theyre "done". he asked who was making them.get what you want.
Baer has them. Rotorpros also. R1concepts is working on them, and they do have their eline available. And also the even cheaper hart are avaulables whuch i dont trust but the audi people seem to like. Brake motive also has them and the corvette people seem to trust them
Im "done" lol

Just curious why your profile says ecoboost pp non premium; doesn't pp mean premium performance packages?

Nope. Mine is non premium with performance package. PP stands for performance pack. Well at least im pretty sure
Premium adds the rear premium bumper, a bigger touch screen and a few other things i didnt really want. Quite frankly i went with the pp because of the gt brakes and the bigger radiator
