88Intl Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Got a pair of cheap aftermarket rotors and they are solid, while the ones currently installed are vented. Were the original equipment rotors solid or vented? I hope the aftermarket manufacturer isn't specifying solid as a replacement for vented, so they can sell them for a lower price than the competition.

Redfox340 Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Vented. Do you really want to warp a brand new pair of rotors? If not, grab the vented ones. It'll help in the long run. - RedFox340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Intl Posted April 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Oops, got a pair of rear rotors. These are non-vented, as they don't have to do much work. Returned them for vented front rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 How did you get vented rears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 from the factory like that. i had my eye on a '91 SHO+ a while back and sure enough the rears were vented. my turbo dodge Lebaron GTS is rare (1 of 267 w/TurboII), but it's got drum brakes in the back so it's getting a rear disc conversion someday.... joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 Ah, I see. When he said "both" he meant "2 of 4" (excluding the Lumina). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
