is anyone using the Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotorra front rotors? How are you keeping the Holes, the slots and the part of the rotor that the pads dont touch from rusting?

 

I thought rotora doesnt make cross drilled rotors, only slotted. If that is the case, it was aftermarket drilled, and the zinc coating was taken off when they got drilled, so they are going to rust.

 

they were drop shipped directly from Rotorra....

 

When i look on rotora's website i dont even see a section for cross drilled rotors, only slotted. Where did you buy them from?

 

I communicated directly with Rotora and asked them if they made crossdrilled rotors themselves and the answer is : They actually make 3 different models : slotted only, cross drilled only, and combo (cross drilled + slotted)

They are made in house at Rotora, not by another tier.

They are "e-coated" which is very good as a primer, but not very good on it's own against rust. I painted mine with anti-rust paint and so far so good

 

you paineted the part that the pad touches????

 

ROTO 168.40046.01C (CL) left rotor

ROTO 168.40046.02C (CL) right rotor

i picked them both up for $190 shipped from HorsePowerFreaks.com

 

No, I covered this zone before painting.

 

that is the area i am talking about rusting. the inside of the holes and the slots where the pad touches... i will take pictures this evening and post what i am talking about.

 

You can see in the picture below where it is rusting.... it is not that bad and is hard to see from a distance. i was looking at the back rotors and i am kinda thinking it wont look as badd once they have been on for a while the area should look more of a black then the rust color.

 

so those rotoras crossdrilled and slotted are for real? or are they drilled somewhere else...?

 

they are straight from Rotora

ROTO 168.40046.01C (CL) left rotor

ROTO 168.40046.02C (CL) right rotor

Email them to confirm, they will tell you they are real.
Excellerate has a pair in stock now if youre looking for a pair, i just asked him a few days ago.

 

Where are Rotora Rotors made?

 

i got the same rotors and mine look the same way

 

Here's Some Bull For Ya Guys.......i Ordered Some Brembo Front And Rear Rotors For My 01' Cl-s........had A Brake Shop Install Them, And They Put Brake Cleaner All Over The Rotors....in Which Took Off All Of The Zinc Coating! Man I Got Mad, Waited A Month For Them To Come In.......but All Was Well, They Paid For A New Set....with Overnite Shipping!

 

LOL at how off track this thread has become.

There's not a lot you can do about the the rust man. Afterall it is just a casting and while the "e-coating" looks nice when the rotors are brand new it doesn't do much in the long run.

And just to confirm for all the naysayers... yes Rotora does make slotted, drilled, and a combination of the two. All in house and the drilled rotors are cast that way, not drilled later.
