I'm looking into buying new wheels and tires for my FD.. but my rotors look liek ***.. 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..

 

I read somewhere(I think in S.C.C) that slotted as long as the slots don't extend to the edge of the rotor are better. Can't say from experience though.

 

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

 

just get your calipers painted....... then everything behind the wheels will look better

 

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! 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.. 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?
