I'm looking into buying new wheels and tires for my FD.. but my rotors look liek ass.. I'm trying to find some good looking rotors. I also want some rotors that are good performance wise too.. what's the best, drilled or slots? or both? any suggestions? I may also get some new capilars(sp) too.. and ss brake lines or something like that.. any suggestions would be great. thanks alot.

what are your intentions eric

I plan on doing mostly aggressive daily driving with the usual road racing and drags mixed in..

stock rotors are fine and won't crack.....

just get your calipers painted....... then everything behind the wheels will look better https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

i prefer slotted

pending on how many times its been resurfaced ... factory has a tendency to warp

cross drilled has are prone to cracking..

with your intentions rx7machine.. id concentrate on just upgradin the pads....

Yea, my intentions aren't to have the ultimate drag car or anything.. just to be blindingly quick! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png so, you're probably right.. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing some drilled and slotted rotors.. so, I'm guessing those would be ok too.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif I may just go with the slotted rotors and maybe some hawk pads.. I guess those are the best pads.. ?? But what brand rotors? brembo? power slot? I mean there's so damn many company's.. is there one company that seems to stand out above the rest? or are they all about the same performance wise? I may think about getting some new calipers too.. but those aren't a big deal for me right now..

Gothamracing.com had some good deals. I got mine through Silver Nintey Three (Ihor) of this forum. Good prices... mmmmm...

hrmmm why are most of the brake kits i see just for the front? i've never considered buying these because i'd imagine it would look silly to have big brakes up front and lil stockers in back behind big wheels in back and smaller diameter wheels up front ?

where could i get a big brake kit for all 4 wheels?

I may have to look into them.. how much did you get yours for?

The big brake kits are for the front only because the front does around 70% of the stopping. The rear ones are usually enough to stop the car.

There are 4 wheel upgrade kits but you are lookin at some serious cash to get those

Yea, I don't really feel like spending that kind of money on them right now..

i would recommend getting the brembo blanks and running hawks HPS/HP+. i think you would visit the track at most once a week....

the cross-drilled would fully function if you have brake ducts, which you dont have (base, right?).

slotted would be good too, but you have your car as a daily driver... pads where fast.



the factor ones have veins and thus better for cooling and such, but they really warp easily, unless you let them cool evenly after hard brakings (and no hand brakes after parking the car)



hope my opinions help, just my .02 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Biot ones are awesome. 2 piece slotted ones. Biot is a new Braking and suspension company in Japan. Border Racing does a lot of Test and R&D for them. Or you can go all out and get their Brembo kit. If you have any questions about their products, pm me.

Check out Irotors.com, you can get drilled and slotted all 4 $220. they are either brembos or direct knock offs. Anyway good stoping and at that price it is cheep to learn on, if you eat them w/ agressive race pads.

I've seen to many drilled rotors crack, go slotted and some Project Mu pads, that should make you stop dead in your tracks.
