after many days of searching and reading on past threads i finally came to a conclusion. i first started off with the idea of buying drilled and slotted rotors , but i read many threads about them braking.... then i thought about getting slotted only.. but they eat pads... and after that i wanted dimpled rotors, but they are pricey and perform the same as stock ones... so i now want to buy plain rotors but high quality... who sells nice plain rotors? other than stock...brembos maybe?

 

Stock plain rotors. as long as they're the same thickness and within tolerance for runout they're all going to perform about the same. It's the pads that'll make the difference. EBC reds should be perfect for these cars or an aggressive daily sometimes racer.

 

Duramax Gold.

 

I'D SECOND EBC but i couldn't get them. my hawk hps are holding up god so far, and no fade. no waviness on my r1 concepts rotors either

 

i bought some plain rotors from R1 concepts. good price, think it was like 130-140 for the pair. they are the temp treated ones with coated center hubs so it doesn't get rusty. haven't put them on yet but they look quality.

EDIT: I have an LNF with the brembo's btw not sure what you have.

 

i just read these posts, thought no one would answer lol

 

why would drilled and slotted rotors break?

 

the holes make them weaker

 

soooo i shouldnt waste the money. maybe some 1 with them will chime in.

 

I literally JUST got a full set of OEM Rotors & Hawk HPS brake Pads from Modern Performance.. well I got the rear pads from Amazon Got a good deal on all of it tho

 

Drilled rotors are going to heat up faster and will eat pads.

Stick with plain.

 

dont buy them, im between plain and slotted
how much are they selling rotors for? R1 sells them for 110 a pair or so.. drilled, slotted, or plain

 

well this changes my mind about them now hmm ill have to look around more

 

we offer a great set of blank rotors that work well.

We can package them with EBC or Hawk pads

 

Not a whole lot.. Ima check my receipt, but you coooould always jus go to their site lol It'd be cheaper for you cuz you dont have to get the Brembo rotors

 

pm me

 

im staying away from drilled rotors lol
what are your package deals, ?so far R1 is the most economic
yea true, im gonna check in a bit, good thing theyre located in houston , so shipping is cheap/// i think

 

NAPA premium rotors are the best deal for quality blank rotors. This is the most common choice among road racers.

I painted my napa premiums with vht high temp clear, and after 6 months, still no rust and they are still shiny. I masked off the braking surface before I painted them. I abuse the hell out of them and still have no pulsation. I use organic pads with them too. Stay away from ceramics if you want good braking performance and want your rotors to last.

 

i thought ceramic was rotor-friendly

 

Ceramic is rotor friendly, it will glaze over though if you over heat it, it also makes for less dust and quieter brakes. Its one of the reason I went with the EBC's over the Hawks. If I glaze the brakes I can always fix that, cleaning the corrosive dust off the wheels constantly from the hawk hp+'s is just a pain.

 

R1 has standard and a higher grade iron option for the rotors. I wanna say regular is like G3000 and premium is G3500

 

would slotted rotors help de-glazing? im thinking of getting hawk ceramic pads
so all the rotors they sell are high grade , or u have to getthem in special order?

 

I dont think it would. The heavier rotor would normally help glazing because its due to too high of a surface temp on the pad. Brake ducts would stop the glazing.

 

so its a good combo then?

 

For R1 e-line is the lower grade, premium is higher grade
