16770, choosing rotors...
Posted by eclipsekaiser, Apr-01-03 07:41 AM
alright I think I am finally going to change my brakes (unless I can get more miles out of them)...

My question is, should I go with:
Cross drilled/slotted or Dimpled/slotted.

Both are stock size replacement Brembo rotors, and will be used with Metal Masters.

Also with 65k on factory rotors/pads/brake fluid, do I need to completely bleed the whole car?

thanx

a lotta people recommend dimpled over drilled, b/c drilled may crack. I've never had problems with my cross drilled though.

as for bleeding the entire car, you don't "need" to but it definately won't hurt. DOT3 brake fluid isn't very expensive and the procedure is pretty easy, so I think you should do it.

I love my dimple drilled raceconcepts rotors (brembo blanks)
and Im using them with carbon metallic pads from autozone (believe it or not its lifetime replacement, even from just normal wear, so when I wear them down I get new ones for free)

I have the AEM OE Caliper Big Brake Kit for the front and rear....they work excellent and look good as hell. They are sloted and cross drilled.

I have the X-drilled rotors from raceconcepts and love em... I had to make the same descision when I got mine and after I spoke with the guy at reaceconcepts he said he only has reports of cracked rotors once or twice a year. As long as you are not doing prolonged rally racing with alot of hard braking you will be fine with X-drilled.
