Are hawks racing Pro Stop Slotted rotors good? i seen them and it says they retail for 149.99 each and i seen them for 100.00 a pair. it said they are slotted and not drilled so they dont crack, is this a good deal?

I got mine from t byrne [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
Right now he is running a special
The following specials will be ending on Sunday evening (7/14) -
$10. off each Powerslot rotor
I'm going to guess your ride is a 96 so
93-97 fronts are $84.99 minus $10 is great!!!!
I love mine!!

james tbyrne wants 73.00 each for the front which is 148.00 just for the front the backs are like 100.00 each so thats 200.00, i can get both fronts for 99.00 both backs for 99.00 for a total of 199.98 for 4 rotors, man im buying them right now lol

Slotted or cross-drilled rotors do nothing for performance on a street car. Do a search, this has been discussed in-depth before. If you like "the look" then get them.

autozone sells some nice OEM rotors..they will hold up better and look like OEM

40 dollars a rotor i believe

the slotted rotors will help you stop a little faster

Slotted rotors are designed to scrape the pad to clean it and thereby improve braking. At track speeds this is fine, on the street all it does is wear out pads.

If you don't believe me, try the Baer brakes site:

no no no... there is a big difference between aftermarket rotors and factory. I've replaced my factory rotors 3 times... 3 fricken times! either they aren't fixing them, or they just suck. I suppose that aftermarket don't warp as bad as factory right? I'm gonna keep replacing them until warranty runs out, then I'll find out for myself I guess.

Sounds like you got it new. Lemon law? 3 strikes, you get a new car. There might be something wrong with your brakes, not just rotors. I'm at 100K on the stock ones.

I do agree with this. I have always recommended Baer rotor BLANKS, not cross-drilled or slotted.

Not sure, its a brand new 2002 firebird... I got it new.. so no lemon? I don't know, don't really mind it too much, just as long as they keep replacing it.

Well I'm just saying if you bought it new and something keeps breaking then you can request a new car. I'm just saying "IF" you want a new car you can probably get one.

Robert, where do you buy Baer blanks? How much are they?

My car has had a rough life and the stock break pads lasted 5-6 years and 90k.

What was said about the slotted brake pads, not jsut track conditions, for high speed stopping they are better. So even if oyu are autXing, not doing anything ot benefit you but look cool.
