brake question??????????

Postby njrupp » Wed Jun 03, 2009 7:21 pm

so im going to be doing my brakes(new pads and new rotors) i have the Wagner ceramic pads, and my questions is what a good rotor to get.. i was looking at the duralast brand(2yr war) there 49$ each for fronts but then i noticed autozone offers drilled slotted for $89(baer decela brand) for the front pair(10 bucks cheaper for drilled slotted) but they only offer them for fronts so the rears are going to be regular($29 i think for rear)

i heard that drilled slotted rotors vibrate and feel crappy and are prone to cracking... is this true
should i try them or not worth it?

If I was to do it over I would have just upgraded pads and kept my standard rotors on my rex. I ruin rotors far to fast to spend $$$$ on them. Pads for sure you will notice a great difference. 80mph braking shake ftl.... I'd stick with standards.

if the rotors are still in good shape and you want drilled ones.. just drill them your self!!

just make sure that you chamfer each hole.
