rotors are heavy, i my boss would let me use his shipping then it'd be okay, otherwise, it'll kill ya in shipping.

i c well let me know bout ur boss if so we can talk payment other wise ill wait till i go out there

will sway bars work with coilovers? or do i have to have lowering springs?

I noticed that the rotors in the second link are for a 95 GT. I actually have never come across this site before and it looks pretty legit. My problem is I have a 96 GT. When I looked for my year they actually had NO rotors at all, just the pads. Any rotor from a 94-99 GT should work with each other right?

slotted rotors only......

d/s = crapola

explain crapola

its a looks thing pretty much that negatively effects braking performance.

a) reduces braking surface area
b) more prone/likely to crack <----this happens a lot
c) doesn't help you brake any better


upgrading brakes should pretty much follow a guide line

a) good (lots of emphasis here) brake pads
b) Quality slotted rotors
c) SS brake lines + quality (Motul DOT 5.1, ATE super blue) brake fluid that is flushed once every year but no later than every 2 years

To the best of my knowledge yes, they are compatible, however they're are some slight differences with the caliper and break pads. Also, the fronts are the same on ALL models, however the Rear Rotor Part number varies between the 94-95 & the 97-99 models.

But we all know of many differences between the 94-95 & the 97-99 models. lol.

however, i'm trying to get ahold of that owner at break-planet; if i can get a deal, i'm going to try to order specifically for people and get the exact year model that is needed. I will not; however; work any deals for a front or rear only set. that is going to be my only stipulation, if i try weaseling like that, it'll ruin the deal for everyone.

also, this is still not a group buy. i haven't got one approved, nor am i trying to. I'm trying only to get a good price for myself and those affiliated with me & vice-versa.

if anyone wants to be affiliated with me they should be doing it thru my PM, e-mail or preferably; my Cell phone. (i think everyone has my number, lol. I give it to anyone in hopes that someone will be my friend )

playr, i have to honestly say, that i do like the D/S rotors better. I've never had a problem with cracking. also, the D does serve a purpose, it helps to vent heat, add traction, and to help clear out the dust particles that shed off your break pads.(just like the slots, not really a big difference, but i like em )

although i do agree with stainless steel break lines that's what i'm buying next!

:lol:

I just say what comes from research, race teams, and what happens on cars with effective parts.
same reason why we giggle at street cars with BBKs



also physics 101....braking power comes from friction of pad to rotor....take away surface area what happens?! LESS braking power

I'm running the brakeplanet setup, had it for 4 months now and under hard azz driving no problems.

somewhere on here there is a promo code for free shipping from brake planet...

drilling rotors doesn't effect contact area, it actually reduces friction and fade so under constant on/off braking (i.e. windy auto x conditions) you don't loose efficiency,

:edit: promo code for free shipping is BP10100

Thanx brthrurik. Anyone not in the houston area would need to note this info if they plan to purchase any rotors from Breakplanet.

Someone was on honda-tech

I'm with Dan...no it's not an april fools joke. I have C/Ded rotors but only because they came with my car when I bought it.

yus i haz been on Ricecar forumz :eeps:

you know you are doing something wrong when even the ricerz are against you :rofl:

Drilling rotors DOES affect contact area. The pad can't contact the material that was drilled out. It does reduce friction which is a bad BTW. Greater Frction=Better Stopping

more friction = more fade.... more fade means longer stopping distance... longer stopping distance means more front end damage...

Um, no.

Getting better brake pads and properly braking will easily reduce/eliminate fade.

i like how the thread originally started off as a question of where to find d/s rotors into an epic debate of drilled vs. undrilled rotors :wtr:

anyways, (not to add to the clutter on this thread or hijack it in any matter) since we are on the topic of brake pads and rotors, i was wondering...

1) what brand brake pads does 6gc recommend (oem vs aftermarket) and
2) what brand slotted rotors does 6gc recommend (brembo vs others)

thanks

you'd have to PM Coomer or another moderator... They're the only ones able to tell you what 6gc.net would Recommend, because it'd be their Recommendation.

The rest of us could only give opinions.

Sorry to burst your bubble but friction is the concept behind braking . You can completely eliminate friction by taking off your brake bads, then you would have no fade but it might not work out too well for you
Fade is caused by your brake rotors and pads heating up and therefor having less friction which causes longer stopping distances.
