97stanger · 11-26-2005, 09:44 AM

does anybody know what size the cross drilled and slotted rotors for a 97 are on here?? If so, should i have any problem putting these rotors with new brake pads on my 18x9 saleen's?

Are you upgrading your calipers as well, if not i don't get your question, cross drill slotted rotors will be the same size as the stocker, unless you want bigger rotors if upgrading the calipers as well, i have cross drilled slotted on miens and they are the same size as the stockers.

ohh...i didnt know that you can only get larger rotors only if you were getting bigger calipers...i took it as you can get a 13inch rotor and keep your stock calipers...by the way stock is 11 inch right??and to answer your questions...i was planning on just keeping my stock calipers and painting them to match my car, but i wanted to upgrade my rotors and get new pads..

I believe its 10.8" fronts, 10.5" rears.

okay....so if i was to order the cross drilled and slotted rotors from here they would come in the stock size?? and then i could buy the brake pads, get my calipers painted, and call it a day right??

get yourself blank rotors. cross drilled and slotted are a waste if you dont race more than its on street. They will do nothing but eat your pads away.
