Drilled And Slotted

[1badhrc]

Does anyone out there have first hand experience with c tek drilled & slotted rotors on the foxbody?

Installed last month, no issues. Stops better than stock but you are probably paying more for looks than performance

Looking to upgrade stock brakes. Have read good & bad reviews on these rotors. It's a street car. Anything is gonna be better that whats on there now .

More show than an upgrade.

If really wanting to upgrade the brakes, a good set of shoes/pads, new brake fluid and quality plain rotors will allow them to work as best as they are gonna get

I've got drilled/slotted on my car and I'll be the first to admit I did it 100% for aesthetic reasons

Thanks for the info & you're right . I think the appearance is what peaked my interest the most . Just gonna stick with tried & true flat rotors.

know that some Ebay and cheaper drilled rotors are actually worse than blanks,, have less friction surface and thus increased stopping distance, and are prone to cracking- plus most shops wont turn them

I was looking at c-tek rotors from late model restoration. Probably just gonna go with oem rotors but drilled & slotted sure do look nice

I did this with the c-tek rotors Great improvement over stock and yah, it looks cooler. The c-teks are only like 20 bucks more than the centric flat rotors so I figured what the hell. Rotors are made in china but the quality is there.
