I need new rotors

[big_red06]

is there any real performance gains with drilled and slotted rotors

I had slotted and drilled rotors on my car and there was a difference. I noticed a considerable less amount of fade in braking.

My previous vehicle was an '02 Buick Century. The original rotors had rusted to the point there wasn't much left so I put on drilled/slotted rotors and EBC pads. Was a total night and day difference on the braking ability with that car. But, I've been told on some heavy duty vehicles its best to stay with a solid rotor since there is more metal and there for more surface for the pad to generate friction.

Front slotted will get rid of the standard 20K and your rotors are warped routine and the xtra cost is minimal. It worked for me and its been 1 year and no vibration in the steering wheel when I brake.

Yes, there is a difference but if you want to realize their full potential, you should also swap out your rubber brake lines for braided steel because they won't flex as much under braking pressure.

Can you put front rotors on the rear? Would it even be worth it?

 

[RamTech]

No, but upgrading pads and rotors in the rear will help improve braking performance. The biggest gains will be seen in the front brakes because they provide the greatest percentage of your braking power (typically 75% or more).

Gotcha, know the factory rears are smaller but wasn't sure if you could change the calipers and all to fronts.

Whatever you do, don't buy cheap drilled and slotted rotors. Ive seen to many drilled rotors crack where they are drilled.

Cheap and brakes are two words that should never go together. Stopping is the most important feature in a vehicle.

I've even seen where the more expensive drilled rotors have cracked. I don't know how much it affects performance once they are cracked.

I will say the drilled/slotted rotors look reall good

hey guys thanks for all the great info I was looking at the ones on ebay that come in sets of front and rears with ceramic pads anyone have any experience with these ebay sets

Yeah, my heart tells me to stay away from dilled. Should try the slotted EBC rotors next.
