Yeah in hind sight I should have just gotten slotted but I got caught up in the moment while ordering. I also should have gotten the hats PC black but they are zinc plated.

120$ per rotor or for a pair?

9krpmrx8 05-22-2009 02:38 PM

$120.00 for the pair shipped from Cali to Texas. But get your own quote because shipping and prices may vary.

9krpmrx8 06-04-2009 10:46 PM

It was $110.00 for the rear.

o0o0oooo0o nice

Alexb 06-05-2009 12:49 AM

is it true that slotted or drilled or both rotors get rid of squeal altogether?

idk where I heard that....

krijpipudht 06-05-2009 01:00 AM

Yep they are great!

I thought they went out of business already.
Glad that they are still here.


I have set of 4 slotted & cross drilled on for almost 15000 miles already.
They are still going strong.

Can you post up pics of yours here so they can see what it looks like with the dimples filled in with brake dust. You are the reason I bought mine. I was a little worried because their site was down, etc. But the Ebay rating is still great and I had no problems getting mine.

SPHINX144 06-05-2009 01:17 PM

any data on the weight and material of these rotors? will the stock calipers fit?

9krpmrx8 06-05-2009 03:24 PM

They are Zinc plated, not sure what material, yes the stock calipers fit, and I will weigh them if you want but they are lighter than the stockers.

9krpmrx8 06-21-2009 10:07 PM

Sorry for the shitty cell phone pics but its all I had.

Yes they are great. Mine just arrived from rotorpros this week. I got all four rotors and Hawk HPS pads, plus stainless brake lines for $355. Will be putting them on next weekend. Mine are just slotted though. Found them on ebay. Rich was very helpful and respond to emails promptly.

bse50 06-22-2009 02:29 AM

The price tag is interesting but how do they work?

9krpmrx8 06-22-2009 03:28 PM

They work great! I did the bedding procedure from the Brake FAQ and the initial bite is just great and the overall feel is better. I know when I install my SS lines and replace the brake fluid things will be even better. We will see how they fair at my next Autox but the quality is as good as the stockers.

9krpmrx8 06-22-2009 04:00 PM

Side Note. Having an impact screwdriver to remove the rotor screws makes life a lot easier. in the past I have left these screws off but I decided they were probably there for a reason and I'm no engineer so I think its wise to leave them on. My dad said they are probably there to make assembly easier but who knows. Oh and I also needed to use a screw to push the old rotors off because they were seized up.

9krpmrx8 06-23-2009 10:45 PM

Question: I was looking at the old pads and the inner pads were worn way more than the outer pads. Any ideas? I wonder if I need to rebuild the calipers.

I8U 06-25-2009 04:22 PM

That's normal. See it all the time with factory calipers.

9krpmrx8 06-25-2009 04:27 PM

Really? I'm gonna keep an eye on the new pads and see what happens.

I8U 06-25-2009 04:37 PM

Yep, you have to remember that the caliper piston is on that side. More pressure is put on the inside than the outside pad.

9krpmrx8 06-25-2009 04:40 PM

here is an example of what I found


Inner pad wear

Inner pad wear usually occurs when the piston can't retract properly. The piston may be binding in a scored cylinder. The piston seal may be distorted or just plain worn out. Both of these indicate a caliper teardown and rebuild.

The pad may be binding on a corroded caliper bracket. If this is the case, you may be able to clean the corrosion with emory cloth and brake cleaner. (Remember to keep brake cleaner away from rubber parts.) After the sliding surfaces have been cleaned, apply a dab of brake lubricant.

I8U 06-25-2009 04:46 PM

That is one example. But I have seen inner pad wear on brand new calipers as well so, it could go either way.
