Sure this has been asked a billion times, but I am looking for a decent deal on all 4 rotors. Guess there is a benefit to get the drilled slotted ones. Are these good? I'm trying to stick to a budget. If someone knows a good site, please recommend. :) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...d=250610364878

I started to go with just slotted and noticed a difference in braking over the D/S rotors, next I might go back with zinc coated blanks for more stopping power, but since I'm going with a 98+ front brake setup and proportioning valve for the rear it should stop alot better anyways.

I am starting to lean toward the ws6store ones. Also, I asked an ebay seller if his 129.99 setup for all 4 drilled slotted rotors were zinc coated, and he said no, that zinc coating causes squealing. Is this BS? Is zinc coating recommended?

I went with a set of Powerslot rotors on my '98, and couldn't be happier with them. The tires and suspension are more of a limiting factor at this point. I've had a couple of instances where the rearend wanted to start to come around a little if I was braking just a little too hard in a turn (and I don't mean emergency type braking, just braking a little harder than I realized I was). I know the Powerslot rotors are a little more than most people would like to pay for a set, but imho they were more than worth it compared the oe style rotors I had before.
Honestly, drilled and slotted is a major waste of money on a street car. Wait until they crack, because they WILL crack. If you want an upgrade, C5 brakes are a damned near bolt on deal. I think you can also go to a C6 style as well. Of course, this is assuming you already have 98+ brakes. I'll never put a set of ****ty aftermarket drilled/slotted rotors on another car. All it does is increase pad wear, cause more noise, and more problems.
Well, I need new rotors. Its for a 2000 camaro ss, so I have 98+ ls1 brakes. This car makes a LOT of squealing, and I know the rotors are toast. I have read a lot on how the holes and slots can or can't be a waste. I am not really looking to "upgrade", in a sense it's more of a replacement with something that may be considered nicer than the rotors from Auto Zone. I would rather just have drilled ones. I don't know, I am really unsure right now on all these 'deals' I keep finding. Just looking for a good replacement, that could be considered an upgrade. It would be in the aesthetics department anyway.

There is another sponsor on there that sells good blanks. His name escapes me, but you can search it out pretty easy. If I had a d/d ls1 cruiser, i'd do this upgrade. I think you have big wheels already too, right? Brembo does make blanks in a stock LS1 size.

I've used the ones from Autozone on several cars and trucks and loved them. On my dakota I used to tow a boat and when I wasnt towing I was trying to keep up with my friends cobra and mustang gt and they did great. I now have them on my bird and regularly take the car down a road called 13 curves that is set up just like a road course and there has been no warping yet.
Thanks everyone. I decided to go with the powerstop setup. I'll post pics when I receive them.
