Drilled rotor upgrade for the Brembos? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Team STILLEN · 12-15-2009, 04:47 PM

Stillen is working on stock sized replacement rotors for the Camaro. They will be available in cross drilled/slotted, cross drilled only, and slotted only.

Latest from R&D suggests a mid January release date.

More details to come as I get them.

i would love drilled slotted rotors but i cant justify spending 800 plus for them

Team STILLEN · 12-15-2009, 05:03 PM

To give you an idea of what they look like, here's the GT500 rotors. Pattern will be very similar if not identical, since they use the same Brembo caliper.

Cross Drilled

Slotted

Cross Drilled/Slotted

Pricing hasn't been released yet, but they will be competitive.

I also carry a variety of brake pads for both street and track use. Hawk, Porterfield, Ferodo and others as well as Goodridge SS brake lines.

Those look great! What are the differences from the Brembo rotors?

Speed74SS · 12-15-2009, 05:44 PM

And which is better? Slotted? Cross-Drilled? Cross-Drilled & Slotted? Does one have a tendancy to crack over the other?

Team STILLEN · 12-15-2009, 06:07 PM

Well, my personal belief is that our rotors are a bit higher quality. The slotting pattern is a bit different, and we use silver zinc plating. Oh, and our rotors are backed by a lifetime warranty against defects, including cracking and warping (unless subjected to racing or other abuse)

To answer the "which is better" question, there really isn't a "better". Slotted/drilled and drilled rotors are fine for the street, and even mild track use. For heavier track use i'd recommend slotted only.

FYI, both the Stillen Ford GT and GT-R race cars run slotted and drilled AP Racing rotors. Those cars get beaten 7 day 1000+ mile rally races all over the world and have performed flawlessly.

Stillen those look awesome what are the prices on the GT500 just to give us an idea? I have the Brembo ones already but havent installed them. I paid $600 for the set.

I honestly would like to sell them and get a lighter two piece rotor so I am holding off for now.

2010_5thgen · 12-15-2009, 07:16 PM

granted that aftermarket rotors may weigh less, to get the same braking power without spending 1k all you need to do is change the pads($100-200) and stainless steel brake lines($150-200). even the rotors that brembo is offering($600) for 1/4 the price of the 2 pieces rotors, should be fine. those 3 things will give you better braking for less than a grand.

Yeah was $609 to be exact I am a Brembo dealer and they hooked it up on the first batch for my personal car.

I still am deliberating to install them or not. I like the Slotted/Drilled Stillen ones better but lets see the price. Im not in any hurry its winter for me anyway.

Slotted works best thats my experience the drilled just looks more obvious to the naked eye as a mod. Thats why the Stillen ones give best of both worlds i would think.

Brembo also told me they are offering a Caliper only upgrade to use the OEM rotors, you can do a large 6 pot up front and 4 pot out back. its still costly around $4500 for both sets.

I think for 80% of us the stock stuff is fine with new pads, lines and basic rotors these big brake kits are pricey and overkill for most.
