Rotors

My breaks/rotors are in need of replacing again and I am wandering if any of you know a good relyable rotor I can get to replace the oem I have been running and how much per rotor?

Thumbs up

I know exactly how you feel, had to replaced two warped front rotors at 10,000 miles, and now after a "little" burnout contest thing, have to replace the two rears as well.


For front rotor replacements, Brembo all the way if you can afford it. I've seen, felt (not in an L), and heard about how great these brakes are.

As for rear, I'm not too sure if Brembo also makes a rear kit or not. I don't think so. You might want to speak with Ruslow. I believe he was selling cross drilled and slotted rotors for the front and rear at a pretty reasonable price. Try doing a search over on the NLOC.org Lightning board. Hope this helps a little.

I can't resist...
Are you saying your breaks are broken? Or are your brakes breaking? (sorry it's late, and I my humor is warped.)

jcw sport trucks has slotted and cross drilled rotors for late model ford trucks. Also check out powerstopbrakes.com for cross drilled rotors. i think the powerstops run around 75 maybe? and jc whitney wants 80 or 90 depending on the application. Also try ssbrakes.com They have upgrades and conversions so they may/may not have what you need. Truckperformance.com has slotted...wilwood as well as baer..I know its alot lol..I just happened to have my new issue of truckin next to me and decided what I could find. Anyways lemme know who you go w/ and how they perform bc I'm getting new rotorsand painting my calipers to accent the 20(!) in kmc stealths goin on my truck this spring.

11secL,

STeve Millen offers cross drilled, cad-plated rotors for front and back. Along with replacement pads. Last I spoke to my friend there, they were working on SS lines.

Steve Millen 800-576-2131 ext 122 Shawn Stavis

Had them on my 300zx. Never any kind of cracking there. Believe me, it saw some hard, fast cornering and some serious braking

Later

Stan makes good rotors and the cost is very reasonable. Here's a picture of one of them:
