anyone know of any aftermarket rotors slotted or drilled that will fit the ss tc?

 

They have these a few people have used But dont know if they are any better than stock ones I'm staying with stock rotors they also have pads but sounds like our stock are better!!

Those look nice. I think the golden color of some of them would look very nice with the black paint color... just not sure how that would look with painted/powdercoated red calipers though. I didn't know anybody was actually offering any non-OEM style TC rotor options. I'm thinking about getting a set, but can't decide on color/pattern (dimples or no dimples).

 

******* JAM.

 

JAM?

Watch this and get back to me.

 

Uh huh, ooook....

 

JAM! I just wasted 7 minutes of my life, of which 3:30 was spent laughing, the other 3:30 was spent scratching my head.

ANYWAY! I don't think those rotors will work... I thought the Brembos were like 12.4 inch rotors or somethin liek that.

 

The first link is offering undersized rotors that may not work (10-11.x inch range), but that Saab link looks promising though. It's the OEM 12.4 inches.

Are there any benefits to having dimples+slots vs. just slots? I think the dimpled ones look nicer, but it also seems to me that they'd just fill up with dust or something.

 

im gonna try it out but **** 300 bucks is kinda steep for me right now

 

Let us know how it goes!

 

lol why i gotta be the test dummy?!?!?!

 

It's your thread so you called it!

 

You can thank a buddy of mine for those... he questioned them about selling those rotors individually instead of their 9-3 kit...

And about 2 days later they showed up on their site....

 

They are the same OEM rotors TC's have stock with some slots in em and people are all.


DO THEY FIT

Do your stock rotors fit?

 

 

THESE WILL NOT FIT THE SS/TC FRONT BRAKES.. THE DIAMETER IS TO SMALL WE NEED A 12.421" ROTOR IN THE FRONT AND A 11.496" IN REAR!!

 

That's what I pointed out earlier. The Saab ones look promising though.

 

They're not Saab ones.

They are sold on a Saab website.

They are STOCK SS/TC rotors with slots in em.

 

Ok. The ones that are found here: http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/p...4fa58b931a45c6 on the "Genuine Saab" website.

They look promising. Better? I'll be more specific next time. I figured between the two links they would figure it out.

That being said, this leads one to believe that they are rotors originally used on the 9-3..

 

After doing some more research, I'm still having trouble finding rotors that may actually work.

It looks like the FE1 and FE2 versions of the upcoming 2010 CTS will have 315mm/26mm (12.4in/1.02in) vented rotors on the back, just like our front rotors. Can anybody confirm this?

I know it's a long shot, but I've started basically just searching for rotors that fit the size specs stated above. Whether the bolt size and such fits is another to tackle. (http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:...&ct=clnk&gl=us)

The only other option I see is the website listed in my prior post. Maybe I could get them to dimple them too.

Also, I thought people would find this article interesting: http://reviews.ebay.com/Drilled-vs-s...00000005243690

Edit: Looks like the 2008 CTS used the 315x26 on the rear also (http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:...&ct=clnk&gl=us)

I've found several 28mm thickness 315mm ones by Brembo (and even on the BMW M3), but I don't know if those would work.
