whats up guys, replacing my rotors, I was just wondering which ones were better that mt sells, the ford racing cross drilled and slotted or the powerslot rotors?? Also are stainless steel brake lines worth getting? Will i notice a difference? Thanks

 

anyone can help??

 

Personally, id get some brembo blank rotors. Either those or the Powerslots. Cross drilled rotors suck on the street, and will crack.

 

ok thanks for the info

 

what matt said

 

Slotted for the win. I also have slotted and dimpled (not on the site yet).

 

ok, i think i will be calling you up tommorrow with an order:banana:

 

Blanks...
Dont waste money on slotted and/or drillled unless you are at the track and strip all the time and really need your brakes to be top performing.

 

Are Drilled Rotors that bad? What if you got a brand name?

 

Yes, they are all that bad. Well, Id put Baer eradispeeds on, but those are like 450 bucks for TWO rotors. Ill pass.

 

Has anyone ever considered this heavy duty brake kit: M2400-c? I have a 96 Cobra and I'm hesitating between these or plain brembo rotors+brembo pads.
Any thoughts?

 

Are slotted rotors really that bad? If so, why do all high-end cars come with them.

 

Quick guess: slotted rotors fall under the performance part category and like any performance or race oriented product, they are more likely to be abused and therefore requiere more maintenance/replacement...so they are "bad" in the sense that they chew up your pads faster than plain ones.
I would like to attend a few track event with my car, I don't think that by the end of the year I'll need my both hands to count how many I've attended, so I'm leaning towards plain rotors that are more street-usage friendly (...so I believe!)
Hence my dilema: plain Brembo or the Severe Duty Brake Kit M-2400-C ??

 

Severe Duty brake kit = Blank Brembos

Anywho, its mostly coming down to "slotted/cross drilled eat your pads faster." Not so much an upkeep problem. I just changed to slotted, and i have not noticed a large cut in my brake pads as of yet. They still look like they are where they are supposed to be.

Slotteds are structurally sound, cross drilled or not. Thats the biggest argument that most people will bring up. Cross drilled can crack given the correct set of circumstances. Slotted wont unless you are taking a sledgehammer to them.

 

slotted isnt bad they just eat pads a bit faster but its not to bad at all.
Drilled is bad because they tend to crack once you use them hard. When mine go bad i am just oging ot get some slotted ones off ebay.

 

Do you recommend Brembo pads with the Brembo rotors...seems to be the logical match...right? I don't think I'll benefit from the slotted rotors on a 95% of the time street use.
