rotors

[markus]

what experience do you guys have with aftermarket replacement rotors for the srt? who makes the best? drilled, slotted or both? thanks mucho.

I'm running ebc pads and rotors. I'm plesed with them as they were much cheaper than the oem stuff. I've had them for over a year and they're holding up pretty good.

[SnowMan!]

Throw the ZR1 rotors on it. They look sick!

[paxton]

I'll probably just go with the OEM rotors from allmoparusa and the Satisfied pads once they need to be replaced.

[StevoSRT]

seems to me that most people concur that OEM slotted rotors are pretty damn good.....most guys have just upgraded the pads to suit their needs.

Do not... I repeat, DO NOT get drilled rotors.

Drilled rotors are extremely prone to cracking during extreme heat cycles and change in temperature. The best rotors for braking power are going to be aftermarket blanks from a big manufacturer such as Brembo. Slotted are your best choice if you want decent cooling along with better-than-stock braking power.

This may be your best bet Markus, http://www.bmcspeedshop.com/product_p/bmcp-srt8b.htm

Im sure all the LX SRT8 guys can remember why we have slotted rotors to begin with, I had to have my factory (not slotted) rotors replaced after the first 3000 miles.

Ya and whatever you do don't get cross drilled ones either. :dur:

Can I get a bean for that?

[markus]

thanks guys, ive already had the rotors for like a week now lol. only problem is getting the the calipers off. those bolts must be torqued down to like 200 pounds or more. impossible to remove. i got slotted/dimpled

LOL, nice catch.

Trevor,

Everyone knew you meant cross drilled rotors. I was just trying to get a bean or two.

Yeah, you'll need a decent breaker bar for those. Or a nice 1/2" impact wrench.
