Finally got a chance to put these bad boys on! Had them sitting in the basement all winter waiting for the brakes to wear out. Couldn't stand the vibration any more so up in the air she went:

BEFORE



HOTNESS


DURING


AFTER



Bedding them in as soon as i finish this post.
And winter was not good to my calipers. Re-painting on Sunday!

 

You put them on backwards.

On a side note, what pads are you running?

 

Yeah he did put them on backwards the slots should be going the other way.
You gotta take them off and switch them to the other side!

 

And paint them calipers black while your at it

 

I put them on my dads corvette like that they look like there suppose to go that way in mine and daves defence after going on the net I know better now

 

Haha! No they are on right guys. I took the first picture of the right, and the last was the left side. Unless the slots are supposed to go against the spin of the wheel, lol.

 

They are composite pads, their something-quiets. Don't remember what pads, sorry.

 

it actually depends on the manufacturer. it can go either way, just go by the directions they give you.

my wilwoods are supposed to go the same way as yours, so its up to whomever made the rotors.

 

What brand rotors are you running? I have Racing Brake rotors and they have an arrow for rotation, and they are supposed to spin against the spin of the wheel.

I was under the assumption all slotted rotors are like that.

 

Looks much better.

 

Thats what i thought at first. And i figured that was how they were supposed to go. I'll check again. Now you guys got me all worried!

 

Lol. Sorry. What brand rotors are they btw?

 

Yeah, i mentioned that at the end of the post. Didn't realize this last winter was so rough on them. I'm re-doing them this weekend. Gotta look sharp before the meet!

 

I bout it all as a package from Rotorpros. Painting, zinc dipping, was all part of the package. The pads are Posi Quiets.

 

P.S.

I bedded them in after I posted this thread and man they are butter! Such an improvement from warn set...nasty. Is there a market for used rotors? I'm having them resurfaced and cleaned if they have a decent amount of life on them. Cheap replacement to hold someone over i guess.

 

I am using Posi quiet pads too.

 

I need new front rotors and pads, I went cheap the last time I switched my brakes and my rotors are WARPED after only a year...
How much did u pay for those front rotors?
When I got my first new rotors back in 03-04 i went with roters and EBC green and they worked out GREAT, I was strapped for cash last time I did my brakes so I went autozone special and now I know not to skimp on breaks cuz the others might cost 2 x more but last 3 x longer!

 

Looks good OP! Do something about those rotors though! lol

^Ebc greens are great but I had an insane amount of dust with using them

 

If you ever skimp on brakes, never get Autozone pads. They crumble (literally).

Im running Racing Brake slotted rotors for the front, stock rotors in the rear and Hawk Ceramic pads. Ive had them on for over a week and I love them. I had plenty of life left in my OE braks, but these stop so much better.

I think it was about $380 shipped from Heel Toe.

 

where those rotors only for the front, or could you get them for the rear as well. Also where did you get them? What site?

 

Yeah it was an entire set of rotors. I got Front and rear rotors, drilled and slotted, the Posi Quiet pads, and the zinc dip with the painted hubs for $300 shipped. I drove around all day today after i seafoamed my engine to burn off the seafoam in the tank. They felt amazing! So soft and absolutely quiet! Couldn't be happier.

 

I've never heard of them but i'm happy with the performance.

 

Where did you order them from , I might just order the same ones as u got they look good, Lemme know how they hold up and where to buy PLEASE!

 

u should check out napa ceramix

 

The company is called RotorPros. I'm tryingto find the card cause I don't remeber the number. Tried to google them with no luck. All they do is performance brake kits. I'll keep looking for the info.

 

Thanks that WOuld be GREat!!
How is it breaking thus far?
I Really need new front brakes, so let me know when u find there #!

 

Ebay store (Click me)

 

I like those


may need to pick up a set for the CL...

 

Has ANYONE ever had these rotors on there CL for over 10k miles?
They might be GREAT at first but all rotors feel GREAT at first mine even felt GREAT at first 5k miles later they SUCK BIG (u know what)..

ANYONE have these rotors on for extended period of time?

 

anyone have any idea where the discs are from; China, Taiwan, etc. I emailed the guy from rotorpros in regards to what blanks they use, and they mentioned they use centric blanks. they then drill and slot them themselves. they cover the rotors from warping and cracking for 2 years.

 

The link for the ebay store seems to be them. I didn't use their ebay store
when i got mine though. They had a website and i just called them up and
told him what i needed.

They have been on for two weeks now and i was stomping on them
yesterday. Just took her out for a spin (first drive all day) and it was pretty
cool out. first stop i got on 'em pretty hard and still stopping like butter.

I will update this thread as the weeks go by to let everyone know how they
are doin. Its rained a few days this week and that zinc coating doesn't even
let the minerals from the rain stay on 'em! Look good all the time!

 

Hey OP your right here in lindenhurst! I've never seen your ride though even though we are neighboring towns! Also I want to know where you got them from as well as I need to replace my brakes as I have my new tires and wheels on! Can we meet up sometime and check out each others rides? Did you by any chance go to ACHS?

 

Haha, small world man. Yeah i graduated '03 from ACHS. Don't miss that place! Dude i'm home all day (I work from home) so if you want to meet up then hit me up (847) 508-2286. I might be goin to the beach tom, but maybe before or after that. We can check out the cars and stuff.

 

That looks SO much better man. I hate how the stock ones get all nasty looking.

Considered painting that caliper?

 

Haha, yeah i think this is the second time i've had to re-state the fact i'm gonna re-paint them! This past winter was not gentle on them. I'm re-painting the calipers when i put the new springs on, haha!

 

I have AP Racing BBK on my RSX and I was told the direction of the grooves makes no dif... it is the direction of the vanes you have to be concerned with. Some rotors will have the grooves running clockwise and some will have them running counterclockwise.

 

Well no one is allowed to see my car till next tuesday as my front bumper cover is all cracked and stuff from the winter. Winter didn't like my car at all. Ruined my bumper and my brakes look the same as yours so I need to order what you did and replace them lol. So next tuesday I will get a hold of you, lol. As that when it is going in to get all pretty again I actually work out of my house as well! What do you do?

Also whats your last name, my sister graduated from ACHS in 03

-Nick-

 

i got rotora for 5 yrs moved from my CLS to my AV6

 

Haha, yeah winter was a bitch on my calipers... My last name is Salas. What do you drive? Year, etc. Who is your sis?

-Dave-

 

2002 Cl-S just like you. Which I think it's funny I've never seen you around. Was actually just about to buy a 2010 Camaro SS but decided not to and go for a house instead. Kara Mastrodonato is my sister. Yeah I need to get those calibers you have! You have a link, which I'm sure you posted one already but don't feel like reading
