hey i ahve a 99TL and i like driving a little 2 fast sumtimes and the brakes on my car feel weaker and weaker. can i buy slotted rotors for it?? is it recommened? does any1 have them? how do they feel? and could ihave a link on where i could by them.

 

i not sure.. but..i think i read somewhere b4 that slotted rotors are for race track.. drilled is for regular or street aggresive driving.. i got a set of brembo drilled rotor.. they feel UTRA NICE.. i can feel everylittlebit of brake at any kind of speed..

 

i think i read the opposite that slotted rotors are better for quick sprints where as drilled needs a lil heating before sprints.

 

here is info about drilled or slotted..
http://www.avalonracing.net/rotors.htm

as i said.. drilled is for street.. slotted is for track..
i have no idea and that url doesn't said who sprints faster..

so you might be right, too..

 

Ehh, this isn't really a race car, so slotted/dimpled and crossdrilled are about the same. The thing with crossdrilled rotors, is that they might crack. Go with slotted/dimpled. get better brake pads. The entire point to slotted/dimpled/crossdrilled rotors is to disipate heat. Crossdrilled rotors do a better job at it but you have the high rist of cracking.

 

even with name brand? forexample brembo?

 

Pads dude, upgrade pads first. That will have the most effect. Slotted/Drilled are really for looks only on OEM size rotors.

 

Does anyone know where I could get deal on Race Concepts Dimple Drilled and Slotted rotors ?

I am thinking of replacing my stock rotors soon as I get my TLS back from the bodyshop.

Cheers !!!

 

Note that if you get certain pads, they might eat your rotors. Which is why people buy other rotors to get sport pads for improved performance.

SungChiaoWu yes even with name brand (for stock rotors). I'm not sure about the Big Brake kits though but they are expensive.

I bought my rotors for show, that's all.

 

do NOT get aftermarket pads on stock rotors, they will eat them up and make the braking worse. if your gonna do it, do it right. brembos DO NOT come slotted or drilled or anything from the factory.the only brembos that are crossdrileld and slotted are ones that are bought by companies and they slot them and drill them themselves. that MAY make the rotor weaker. there are other rotors that are slotted from the factory. that means they are made liek that. those would probably be better.

 

omg.. now i'm worried..
but it's brembo! should not suck..
k, i'll try not to brake that much..
but i'll be worry about cop now..

 

i like how the slotted ones look and they are cheaper and longer lasting

 

There was some mail and an article in SCC that recommends slotted and dimpled as the best way to go for performance and reliability all in one...

 

Oh yeah, I got some Endless brake pads (less than a week ago) on my stock rotors and they seem fine. Granted I'm still bedding them, but they seem to have a bit more bite...
