Rotors

I have no clue which rotors would be best to buy...and does having a good rotor helps ur brake.

Would rotors like at autozone or kragen do well or what?

thank you for your info.

You should probably be looking into better brake pads instead of rotors. What are you using right now?

I used the EBC slotted & dimpled rotors along with Hawk HPS pads. Made a world or difference.

If you don't ever plan to track your car just get brembo blanks and some Hawk HPS pads. I got them from tirerack.com for my wife's 98 LE and wow.....stops excellent.

I've also have the EBC rotors very nice with some Posi-quiet brake pads. I've also used Brembo blanks but both times i've had them they ended up getting deep grooves scraped into them. Since I've had my EBC never had to replace them.

What GT***** suggested, but get stainless steel brake lines and high temperature synthetic brake fluid like Motul RBF-series or ATE Super Blue. I'm running that very setup right now.

If you really must have slotted rotors, get Cryogenic-treated Powerslots.

Or get some custom machined Brembos from KVR Performance.

They offer zinc plated dipping that helps the rotors resist rusting and high temperature warping.
