recommendations for slotted rotors on 1999 TA

**Jon99TARamAir** · 08-01-2008, 02:44 PM

I'm going to need brakes and rotors soon so I'm looking for recommendations for replacing the OEM rotors with drilled/slotted rotors.

Are Baer's the ones to buy or Power Slot's.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Thanks, Jon

ive heard to stay away from drilled, slotted is Ok, but neither are really needed with todays ceramic brake pads

I will be replacing my stock rotors with Brembo blanks.

Not drilled or slotted.

$169.00 for all 4? Holy crap! I have been looking on there and don't remember seeing a set of 4 for that low. What brand name are they if you remember. Otherwise, I'll just check out the brake section again.

**BIG GUNS** · 08-02-2008, 12:45 PM

Got it. Yeah, I've seen those but, was cautious about the low price. You haven't had any probs with them though?

So, there would be no need to paint the inner surface then. No rust at all yet? Or, did you paint them anyway?

**2kbluws6** · 08-02-2008, 03:18 PM

so far no rust...been on the car for about 2 months... here are some pics...

**BIG GUNS** · 08-02-2008, 06:44 PM

I like that setup. I'll keep it in mind for this winter.

**BIG GUNS** · 08-02-2008, 06:50 PM

Better clean the inside of that rim every now and then. Looks like the inside of a muzzle chamber of an A-10 30mm Gun......lol.

**2kbluws6** · 08-02-2008, 06:57 PM

i havet drove it in a while...you should see the car...rained on,and dusty from sittin. i think i am gonna wash all the vehicles tomarrow and maybe i will post up some pictures of a *clean* Shot of the wheels/car...

Thanks for callin me out...i was hopin no one would point that out...lol

**2kbluws6** · 08-02-2008, 07:01 PM

by the way...they are also directional rotors...so that is something to look for when looking into the cheaper rotors.

After I posted that, I went out and washed my car and got the inner rim as much as possible. The only way to do a really good job is to wash the rim off the car.

Brembo's drilled rotors come with specific warnings about not being for racing applications. Basically, they are for looks on the street only. They will crack at the holes and fail under hard use. If Brembo's will do this, what do you think ebay cheapies will do? If you want good rotors that actually can handle some abuse and look a bit better, get the Brembo slotted and coated rotors. They aren't cheap, but like you said, you get what you pay for. Tire rack sells them for a decent price.

Blanks for me.
