rotors...

http://www.sportbrakes.com/product.php?productid=1&cat=0&page=1&sside=1

pretty sure theyre brembo 13''...only $150

to go with some cobra calipers?

i like the idea of the 13" brembo as in the package deal at buyfordracing.com...but would like the rotors either zinc coated or like these(slotted and drilled). IMO i want my upgraded rotors to look as nice as they perform..

well i can understand the zinc coated opinion you have, and they sell nice rotors there - but why do you have need for slotted rotors? I'd recommend drilled and dimpled, slotted will just cause you disc to be a cheese grator and you lose pads fast

no, they may offer a slotted/dimpled option. But I always recomend just drilled rotors to anyone who doesn't do AutoX each weekend

I would imagine for something you drive on the street mostly they would also warp a bit sooner than stock, aside from grinding through brake pads alot faster

yea im thinking of getting these...just not drilled or dimpled, only slotted. this will not remove alot of the integrity, keeping it safe from warp.

For 95% of us here, the slots and holes are simply for show.
Just do the buyfordracing kit and be done with it - unless your more into show than go (and stop!).

I would not buy dimpled rotors again, I have them and they make a lot of noise when stopping, ask anyone with dimpled (not drilled) rotors. But they havent caused my pads to wear prematurely.

Those are not OEM Brembo's. Brembo does not make a rotor with both slotted and drilled features. It's either/or.

Probably a Brembo solid rotor (if even that) that was drilled and slotted by an aftermarket company, which=undesirable.

Ummm no? Its best to have power slotted rotors NOT drilled rotors on a daily driver car. Furthermore i have power slotted rotors on my GT and they're great.

Why the drilled and slotted crap if you don't freakin regularly nose dive the car from 100+ mph going in to a turn? Just get the regular solid Brembos and be done with it.

What is your reasoning/proof behind that statement?

Cross drilled rotors are prone to cracking, but they look badass.
If you dont abuse the brakes, they will last...
Drilled rotors were designed to pull away the gases that form between the pad and the rotor under heavy braking... With the newer street pad designs, those gases are minimized, so you dont really NEED the drilled rotors.... The slots (cuts) have a similar effect, and they also help with cooling of the rotors...

I've had my slotted and DIMPLED rotors on since last summer, and I can also say that they are loud... think trading card in the spokes of your bicycle when you were a kid, similar noise to that.
