Front rotors, power slot, power stop????

[12secondv6]

Right now I'm still running front disc and rear drums on the bird.
I need to change the rotors on the bird.
I've heard the power slot can warp.
The stock ones are heavy as all hell.
I am not planning on going to massive rotors in the front due to my 15 x 3.5 inch rims in front.
I know power slots have the slits in them
I know power stops have the cross drilled holes in them.
Anybody have any experience with them?
How much did they weigh?
Any significant differences in stopping?

I'd either go with GM replacements... KVR blanks... KVR crossdrilled...

or if you want to get the best, shell out $700 or so and buy the Eradispeed rotors. Same size as stock, far lighter weight, guaranteed never to warp or crack, sloteed/drilled and look nice :D

I have the powerslots and they work great helped out my brakeing wet and dry. I ride my brakes hard and havent warped them yet

Hell yeah Cardinal [img]smile.gif[/img] I just ordered my set of eradispeed rotors, cant wait to get em. personally I think they look slick as ****e, plus they reduce the weight of the car AND improve stopping.

Slotted or drilled rotors do nothing these days to improve brake performance.

Neither is worth the money for the street.

Check out some other autocross / RR boards, they use blanks.

They look "cool" but that's it.

Now that said, if you want lighter then get the cross-drilled.

Basically what Robert said. In the old days pads emitted gas when hot so you NEEDED a slot or a hole so that the gas has a place to go. Otherwise the gas would push off against the rotor and the pad would lose contact. Now pads kick *** .

yup, slotted and drilled rotors do practically nothing for performance but actually take away if you think about it. All of those holes and slots equals less surface area for the pad to contact. Can be beneficial to james if he is trying to save weight though.

Just curious as to the weight difference of cross-drilled vs. slots vs. blanks? Anybody know?

I can understand the arguement that less surface area is worse braking power, but I could tell a nice difference with my Powerslots vs. stock rotors. The Powerslots were just as heavy as the stocks ones though.
