Where is the best place to buy sloted drilled rotors?

Sickness91Z28 · 09-15-2012, 11:13 AM

bought my drilled/slotted rotors through: http://brakeperformance.com/brake-ro...ake-Rotors.php

Also went with HAWKS brake pads (ceramic).....hardly any brake dust....and it stops on a dime! One of the best upgrades I've done so far

Is drilled or dimpled better?

They worked with your stock brake calipers?

I got the slotted/dimpled ones. From my reading/researching (wiw), I found the risk/chance of cracking/warping happened more with the drilled rotors, as the dimpled stayed more rigid over time. I'm sure it's all up to the quality of the rotor itself, but that was what I went with and why.

I did get them from Brakeperformance and have had ZERO issues with them. Easy to install and with my Hawk ceramic pads, I believe I could put your teeth into the dash stopping so fast and hard. I love them.

I concur, drilled rotors will not be any better on the street, I had some on my 4th gen and they looked great but probably will just go with dimpled for the 5th gen.

I've had the rotors from BrakePerformance on my Silverado just over two years now without any issues.

I assume you are replacing them because of wear or for cosmetic reasons. Replacing the rotors, in and of itself, is not a performance increase.

Hardly any dust at all....however they do make noise at times for some people from what I've read on C5.
