I guess it's about time to switch out the old brakes and rotors. I'm not sure rotors need it, but I thought I might as well if I can get them for cheaper. What I'm wondering is what kind should I go with? Right now, all I need is the rears. Bremo has them, but they are solded insted of vented. Would it make that much difference in the back? I can get Bendix, and I think they are vented, but not sure. Just wondering what you guys thought. Oh yeah, I might be switching the fronts soon too, so if anyone knows were I can get a good deal on all 4, I'll just get that. Thanks everyone.
New EDIT: I've almost decided on Brembo's from Nopi, but they are solid. Is that bad? The factory ones have vents, we've all seem them. Is this going to effect performance? This post has been edited by Bigmeanbulldog55: Oct 8, 2005 - 12:28 PM -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

I've heard this debate, and I know the agruments. I've made my mind up that slotted actually do something as far as shaving the layer of gas off between the pad and rotor. Drilled might do something for water disapations, I never thought of that, and it makes sence that sence there is more surface area to cool with drilled rotors that they could cool better, but I doubt you'd noticed it unless you really drove hard. I do plan on autocrossing the car some time, so I might actually be hard on my brakes. I've heated them up pretty good a cuple of times aready, acting like a stupid kid. If I can get them, and they aren't much more, I'll get them. It looks to me like the drilled/slotted for the rear are 150 + shipping. That's not real cool. They won't do to much in the rear, so I might just get the regulars which are $50 + shipping a piece for Brembo. I'm still trying to organize the best cost effect way of replacing/upgrading the brakes. Thanks for your help guys, please post more if you feel like it.
EDIT: Does anyone know anything about these Speedy Dynamic rotors? This post has been edited by Bigmeanbulldog55: Oct 6, 2005 - 10:17 PM -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
