340, Crossdrilled Powerstop rotors Posted by DeanoD, Jan-04-01 02:00 PM Who has them on their car and how do you like them. I am wondering about fading brakes, heat disipation, warping, cracking, longevity etc. If you could please list your pad that you have mounted on the front that would help with my research. | |

341, RE: Crossdrilled Powerstop rotors Posted by Stan2gnt, Jan-04-01 07:06 PM I've had them twice with a stock set in between. My opinion is if your gonna get them do it for looks because you wont feel any difference. I had them with new stock pads 1rst and the brakes felt like, well stock. I have them now with Metal Masters (which I dont like). The first set eventually warped just like stock but my experience with warping isn't it happening over time. One over zelous day of braking and they warp regardless of how long I've had them. The current set remains straight. Powerstop rotors are only $70 each at http:/www.summitracing.com and maintain there appearance so the looks alone are worth the cost (some shops will try and charge you more for stock rotors). I've NEVER experienced any cracking. I feel the performance is in the pads and the only rotor upgrade that does anything is a size increase. I hear cryogenic treatment prevents warping. | |

342, RE: Crossdrilled Powerstop rotors Posted by GSsport, Jan-07-01 02:06 AM I have PowerSlots and Metal Masters on all 4 corners and I can feel the difference when braking. I think they stop better when wet and in a shorter time as well. Just my 2 cents. | |

343, RE: Crossdrilled Powerstop rotors Posted by Armond30, Jan-07-01 08:21 AM I had them on my car for 2 years with axxis metal master pads and SMC brake hoses. Never had a problem. I only had brake fade once. I was in a rush to make it to a friends wedding, and by the time I got there, my brakes could hardly stop my car in the Parking lot. I might have boiled the fluid 'though. All other times they have been great. | |

344, Thanks for the info..... Posted by DeanoD, Jan-07-01 12:13 PM I am leaning towards powerslot rotors at the moment. I am also checking on Brembo Rotors that have been slotted and cryogenic dipped(not sure how to spell it). Carbotech makes them and I need to find out if they are available in our stock front size. | |

345, RE: Thanks for the info..... Posted by Armond30, Jan-08-01 11:14 AM powerslot and power stop BOTH use brembo blanks ;) | |

346, RE: Thanks for the info..... Posted by RyaN95i4, Jan-08-01 01:35 PM I have powerstops in the front, and pos drums in the back, and noticed a dramtic improvement in brake performance and feel as soon as i installed the p.s.'s. i have VGX pads (these are decent:/, but there are better pads) | |
