Check out style B. They're slotted rotors. You can find the thread in the Mini-sponsor Forum.

 

Im a little concerned that you've been on the boards just as long as I have, and you've never seen my thread?!

 

Junk.

Jared get some Rotora rotors.

Why is it that you feel drilled brakes suck?

 

Drilling makes the rotors weak, and only has a minor cooling effect. It's basically just there to look cool.

RRM also sells slotted rotors, btw.

 

thanks for the help guys!!

and yeah, drilling ruins the structural integrity of the breaks

I'm actually impressed w/ myself, i started that thread last night when I was trashed, haha, me and a couple buddies were talkin about cars and whatnot right before I went to bed

 

Stuctural integrity? Hmm, maybe I should've did a little more research. Oh hell, I'm not drifting mine or anything. (They do look pretty nice though). I heard that slotted rotors = premature break pad wear and were useless anywhere but the track.

 

God I hope you're not drifting your tiburon. My slotted rotors never really wore my pads prematurely, but I had race pads on also. Though like I said, you people shouldn't be worryin about it unless you are tracking our autocrossing your car. Getting drilled brakes just to look cool is flippin lame. They are still tiny, get a big brake kit if you really wanna impress people.

Bah. At this point its apples and oranges. People with same amounts of mod cred on both sides. Either you want them, or you don't. That's what it comes down to. I wanted them, I bought them.

I dunno, WHAT is up with THAT?

I shouldn't talk, because my corolla has flippin slotted and drilled rotors.

yeah, but you're gonna drift it, so they might come in handy . . .

and I'm tryin to see if I can find some Powerslot rotors, heard those are nice, w/ hawk pads . . . dunno if they're made for the Tib though


don't have the money for a big break it . . . and Carbon ceramic might be a little overkill

 

I just ordered a set of Hawk HPS yesterday for my 03 GT. $153 on Autoanything.com, with a 10% discount if you enter the "save10" coupon they mention in the banner (expires 26th I think?), taking price to like $138 shipped. Cheapest I found anywhere else was $137. And I've bought from Autoanything before, so I went with them again. Didn't see the HP+ though.

Edit: By "set", I mean both front and rear. Like $80 something for Front, $50 something for rear.

 

Unless you're doing serious track work just get some new oem brembo rotors with some good hawk pads. Thats all you need. As for my rotors on my Corolla, naw, came with them. I will be replacing with some Project Mu slotted rotors and hawk pads up front and my Project Mu D1 rear pads should be here soon.
