Anybody have experiance with 88Rotors brand rotors and pads? Saw them on e-bay, good price. Also, what is the biggest rotor you can use on 17" wheels?

 

Sorry none here.

 

The biggest rotor you can go with on a 17" is a 13" rotor. There is more to it than just getting bigger rotors though. Brakes is not something you wanna go cheap on. It's the only thing stopping you so you wanna make sure the quality is there. If you are looking for a bigger brake kit I suggest the Cobra/Mach 1 kit. Just recently bought one myself and it's definitely worth the money! Both the same kits one is just painted. Comes with everything you will need.

Thanks, Sean I just never heard of those guys. Definately want to buy the good stuff.

 

No problem man. Cheapest place I have seen for the kits for sale.

 

Be wary of eBay parts. If it's not a name brand, don't buy. Chances are it's a cheap made in China knock off of the real part, but minus the quality and safety.

 

If they are slotted or drilled rotors don't waste your money it wont make you brake better.

 

Thanks, guys, I think I will just get Ford factory replacement parts seems to be the simplest way to go.

 

You can turn your rotors turned at a midas or the like for cheap and reuse them I hope you know. Then add a better brake pad all new brake fluid and your brakes will perform much better for little money. Or get that cobra/mach1/bullitt front brake setup as its a nice setup if you need it. I drag race a lot so I wanted to be able to still run 15" rims front and back hence why I just kept the stock setup and upgraded it.

 

I don't do any racing, my '00 Gt is my daily driver once it warms up. I was considering drilled and slotted rotors just because they look cool.

 

Remember the saying, form follows function. Drilled is bad because it causes stress cracks. Slotted helps but not on the street. In the end, either stick w/ the stock set-up w/ better pads (I like Satisfied GS6) or the Cobra/Mach 1/Bullitt brakes.

 

Well then it sounds like you just need to replace the pads,change the fluid, and get the rotors resurfaced and call it a day. If you do the work yourself its very cheap.

 

That's what I'm gonna do, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Definately will save me some cash.
