Hey. I have a chance to buy 4 Slotted AND Cross-drilled rotors for $100 from a guy on ClubGP.com. I'm already planning on buying them but what do you guys....and girls...MonteChick.....LOL............think?? Should I do it?? Is there a noticeable difference in braking compared to stock??

You should read up and see what brand they are etc. Cheap ones may crack or break after a while. Gen 2 w-bodies have nice breaks anyways... but if yer going real fast I guess...

I've heard slotted rotors eat up pads a lot quicker.

 

I've heard the same thing about both types. I think I'm going to buy them and if they do eat up pretty quick, it's only $100 spent.

I don't think you can really go wrong for $100....I say get 'em....then report back here with your opinion

 

Ok. He said that it's going to be about a week or two until he can ship them because he is doing an F-body brake upgrade so I should have them in about a week or two. I'll definitely take some pics and let y'all know how they do. So when I change out the rotors, what all do I need to do? I know that I have to bleed the brakes and take the rotor and caliper off but isn't there more to do?? It seems to easy.

you shouldn't have to bleed the brakes to change out rotors....

 

Oh ok. I've only changed my brakes once and that was a full job.....brake pads, rotors, and calipers.

 

So when putting these new rotors on, all I need to do is take them off of the hub, take the caliper off, and slide the new rotor on?? It's that easy??

Yes, you only need to bleed the breakes when changing calipers. Cause you have to disconnect the brake line, when lets air into the system. Just hang your calipers with some wire so the lines arent bending or being pulled off.

Why bother with better rotors? The faster you stop the further you're going to go through the windshield.. :shrug:

 

Right. Ok. So what if a little kid walks out in front of me?? I'd rather brake very hard and fly through the windshield than kill a little kid. :wink: :wink:

I dont think his brakes are THAT good. I know none of ours are :lol:

 

 

 

yeah let us know how it turns out. As of right now Im only thinking of slotted rotors.

Does being drilled and slottled prevent warping? I might have a brand new rear rotor warping :confused:

I did hear it does slow down breaking time, is this true?

Sorry to jump off track, but I want to know how they work. I might end up doing a brake upgrade on my car.

the shouldn't slow down braking time....they are used to help with braking, not make it worse....
