99 GT Front brake upgrade

Mar 29, 2005 5 Replies

Are the slotted disks worth the extra money? We were looking into a brake problem and found the rotor was broken! The wheel lug plate had separated from the disk part.

Anyway, we now need new disks, pads, etc. We certainly want to go with a dustless pad.

Thanks, Rodney

Save your money and get stock replacement rotors.They last longer. Stop better than slotted.

sounds like abuse to me

i would stick to standard aftermarket rotors

remember u drive your pos on public road

public roads are not racetracs

i hope they find you wraped around a light post thats the only place for tards like you

hurc ast

Slots and drilling are simply for looks. They actually decreases overall braking effectiveness by decreasing rotor surface are. It's the same efeect as using a small disc. Go with a smooth surface and ventilated disc, and get a quality pad. The best street pads are ceramic, because they are very quiet, and very low dust. But they are not always the best performing pad.

Sounds like you might have a composite disk rotor, (cast iron rotor and welded steel hat.) These things scare the hell out of most brake repairmen. If available you might want to upgrade to a full cast iron rotor.
