[framos242]

I wanted to ask how the performance is with D&S rotors in all types of weather. Summer? Winter? How many miles on them?

TIA

is it just me or do most of the drilled and slotted rottors warp and loss their coatings very fast???

 

[LPSPEED2]

I also have a question about this. Will our doughnut spare tire fit with the upgraded drilled slotted rotors??? Or are we shit out of luck if we get a flat???

 

[EmersonHart13]

If you upgrade the size your donut will not fit, but you should not run the donut on the front tire anyway since it screws up the diff. You should always put the donut on the back and move a full size tire to the front.

I have had slotted rotors for a year now and I have had all good things so far!

Ok, thanks, so as long as I keep them the stock size I will be good. Where can I find these stock size, all I was able to find was 12" and that is bigger than our stockers. Or is it? What size are stock?

 

[imported_snoop]

after about 10-15000 miles, they suck. start to get real noisy and ugly and shit.

 

[LPSPEED2]

so not too recomended??? A buddy of mine bought them off ebay for like $500-600 and he has had them for just over a year and they still look great, but i dont know how they perform or if they make noise.

 

[imported_Diavolo]

I love my 12" No problems with them at all stopping wise. Much better than stock

you shouldn't be runnign a doughnut on your front tires anyways so get the 12" for the front.

 

[LPSPEED2]

I thought it comes as an all 4 wheel kit, if the front is 12" isn't the back going to be too big too.

 

[xierxior]

they help have them on my T/A hitting the breaks hard from 140'ish a couple times and you'll still see red rotors tho ever see a rotor actually light on fire? my buddy did

these where non coated rotors so the edges rusted but they still worked fine.. they where just ugly.

 

[cacicgtp7]

I used to have them in the stock sized rotor, and personally i thought i stopped better when i had a solid rotor on. The advantage to slotted and drilled is that cool very quickly allowing you to do hard brake without much if any fade. But, i think with more surface area and pads i stop much quicker with a solid rotor and a good set up pads. imo. If you really want good stopping power, upgrade to the 12" rotors, that works wonders.

 

[Royalgtp]

I think some of the cheap slotted and drilled sets have problems with peeling/warping.


I think you have to spend some good buck to have good ones like Brembos, Bear's, etc......

 

[mybluegtp]

I have impala rotors all around front 12in and rear are stock. Plus i have the f-body caliper and man the stopping power is better then a single piston caliper. Raybesto pads are great too. Had them for about a year and they still look good. B) Just need to bleed the brake lines and add new fluid.

I have ebay drilled/slotted F/R rotors. So far, so good.


They mate real well with ceramic pads.

I have the SP Performance Rotors Slotted/Cross Drill matted up with Hawk Pads on my car for over a year now just on the front with the 12" upgrade. Good combo I must say wear is also good. heres the Link....

I have cross drilled and slotted rotors on my car for almost a year and they look wonderful and are working fine . I bought them off of ebay from Trinet Motors and they have excellent customer service and you can get different coatings on them. I love them. You should give them a try and they are the stock size. Here is a link..

That link is for 04/05, but they have ones for 97-03 on there pretty frequently.

you wont notice any difference with stock size drilled/slotted rotors.
like was said before- the only benefit they give is reduced brake fade from high temps.

youll only notice a difference if you autocross your car, or drive it like an ass on the street for long periods of time continuously

I have Power Slots all around and just recently I noticed a vibration under hard braking. It seems that the fronts may need to be cut. I've had them for almost two years and I tend to drive a bit aggressively so I'd have to say thats pretty normal. They still look pretty good after a spring cleaning with brake clean and a wire brush.

 

[frosty23_45]

Bought a set on ebay from trinet motorsports. Had them about a year, probably about 10K on them, no probs so far. No rust either, and drove the car a lot in the winter.
