Brakes
I Need New Rotors And Pads All The Way Around On My 02 Tl Type S. I Was Woundering If Anyone Has Checked Out The Performence Rotors At Forumracing.com And What You Think Of Them.
Any Info Welcome, Thanks

To many holes, which degrades the structural integrity of the rotor. If you want drilled then go with Irotors which have fewer holes + they don't really tell you specs on those "performance" rotors. They are probably a $15.00 Allsafe rotor that is drilled & slotted by a machine shop.
Also look into Rotora slotted.

All rotors start their life as blanks & then have slots or holes drilled into them by either the manufacture or someone else. There are companies that buy these "name brand" rotors and have holes drilled into them.
Why do you think these companies drill holes in the rotors for, structural integrity or looks?
I don't know what length of the warranty is (90 days, 500 miles etc) the warranty is worthless IMO & they all have some kind of warranty. First off, those drilled rotors will crack after 90 days. Second, you will spend a lot of time & money removing them and paying to ship them back.
This is to many holes
This is acceptible

These are dimple drilled, meaning they are not drilled all the way through

I would also consider cryo treating at least your front rotors if you do go drilled.
Here are brand names:
Rotora
Irotor
Power Slot
Brembo
Zimmermann
Heres a good article on rotors: http://www.aa1car.com/library/2003/bf10312.htm

You will find many members on this site running ROTORA slotted rotors. They reduce brake fade, brake well, and are not prone to warping like the stock rotors.
If you need rotors PM me with your zip code for prices.

Rotora
Irotors
You can get the Irotors as slotted only. Just let them know when you order.
The Brembos are the same price as the Irotors + people have had some issues with the Brembos warping, just do a search on here. IMO I would go with Irotors before Brembo unless you cryo treat them, then it doesn't realy matter which one you get.

no i meant in like a review manner. everyone always has rotora or irotor. besides it being listed in that particular list, i never hear anything about it. i was curious if anyone actually owns the powerslots and can actually talk about them.

Power Slot Cryo's at AutoAnything.Com
I just placed my order from AutoAnything.COM for a front set of Power Slot Cryo's and Hawk HPS brake pads. Price was much better than Tire Rack and I had a 10% off coupon and free shipping. Total for 2 rotors and pads delivered was under $300.

I'll let you know how these work out for me.
