i was wondering if anyone has purchased the drilled or slotted rotors from brakeperformance.com

i was pretty set on the ones from r1 concepts but i like the drilled look of the other ones better

 

I honestly wouldnt go with drilled. Slotted though should be fine. But havent purchased from them.

 

jw, whats the down side of drilled? and idk, I bought through R1, everything went good.

 

If they were actually drilled it can weaken the rotor. Honestly slotted or just plain old rotors will be fine.

I honestly will just run a quality plain rotor with a great pad. Not as flashy but performs well.
But the slotted rotors are popular.

But like I said people like R1

 

Drilled may look good, but really only needed when extreme braking is applied such as fast exotic cars. On a cobalt, plain jane rotors w/ good pads works best, even on a SS. I had them on my gto for track days, really wasent that great. Altho i did have slotted, repelled gasses better. But ya, on our balts, plane rotors will hold up best, unless u want looks, then go on ahead

 

that makes sense and i can see that but these people have a 2 year warranty on the rotors and im going more for looks id say
anyone ever buy from them?

 

I have the R1 Eline Cross Slotted and Drilled and they outperform my buddies 09 SS/TC with Brembo Brake kit. I have experienced "Soft Brakes" because I ran a long autocross street route with him and the brakes started to get really hot. I lasted about twice as long with the brakes I purchased than he did with his.

For DD, I'd recommend a solid plain jane rotor + ceramics. If you are an aggressive "I have to absolutely push the envelope" type of driver then braking power / effeciency is what you want and thus R1 is the most inexpensive quality made option available.

 

how do you like them
how do they do with rust?
what do you think the difference is between them and the black ones with the supposed anti rust whatever?

 

I have the same set up, I like them, the are warped a bit, but that apparently is cause of my driving style..... but they rust like overnight, but it comes right off. haha.

 

Hopefully you don't get 1 shiny one.

 

huh? lol

 

I have the crossed drilled front and rear from R1 and i love them the look great and work great too.

 

I agree. I love my R1s and Ill let you know how they work at Nelson Ledges Funday tomorrow.

 

sounds good yea i was deciding whether or not to go with those or the premiums
im pretty suprised no ones ordered from brakeperformance though

 

anyone know why on the site theyre selling for over 200 bucks for the eline
but here on ebay
ELINE PERFORMANCE Disc Brake Rotors (2 FRONT + 2 REAR) | eBay

theyre only 130

 

i was warping stock style rotors left and right. Switched to cross drilled and slotted..... LOVE EM! No warpage yet and I've been beating the **** out of them. Got mine from rotor pros . net $250 for all 4 with pads including shipping
