New Brake Rotors

[Jake Levin]

Installed new rotors tonight. I bought slotted & drilled front rotors from R1Concepts. They look slick. took it for a test ride and all is good. Let's see how they wear now.

The biggest problem with them is they crack at the holes...that will be where you will want to keep an eye

Around 20K miles on mine and no problems. (cracks, etc.) Wear has been pretty minimal and no wobbles. Hope yours are as good as mine.

BTW, thanks again Todd for knowing the torque specs right off the top of your head!

Keep us posted on how they hold up. I plan to get a set of rotors from them when my brakes need replacing next.

I have ran a set of drilled rotors on my EGT. I drilled them myself and they lasted for over 50,000 miles and not even a hint of cracking. The drilled rotors that crack are in racing aplications. I wouldn't think trice about usimg drilled rotors.



There are actually cars that come from the factory with drilled rotors. I can't think of any that come with slotted rotors...I wonder why!

We have this debate on another site all the time.



Drilled/Slotted are fine for the street.



Drilled /Slotted are bad for the Track/Racing as they will crack.



Slotted are fine for the Track/Race and Street. We run them on our race car and I know at least 50 other drivers that run them.

Of course we are running Brembo Rotors not cheap/crap off of eBay.



Dimpled and Slotted fine for the Street and Track.



I have 35 track days on a set of of EBC running Hawk Blue race pads. No sign of cracking and I check them when I put my track tire/wheels a week before a track day.



I get eight track days out-of a set of pads. However, I do get them at cost so that helps. Now I just need to find a Pagid vendor so I can get their race pads at cost...LOL
