Hello, I wanted to know if anyone knows if the these brakes and rotors are any good...
I am looking on Brakeworld website and saw these brakes and rotors by Xbrakes, the Rotors are available in slotted or drilled and the pads are Xbrakes Carbon (Material: Metallic ).
They also had another brand which is PowerDisc which was available drilled or slotted which I was looking at. And with the powerdisc I didnt know if I should use the Xbrakes Carbon (Material: Metallic) or go with another pad material like a ceramic or anything like that.
Any feed back is appricated, I dont want to spend a lot on breaked and rotors, I Dont need high performance, just brakes and rotors for everyday driving but ones that are quiet and wiill last, any feedback is greatly appriciated, Thank you...

 

I went with r1 concept rotors drill/slotted and ebc red stuff. They were a huge improvement over stock didn't dust as much and was quite.

Although if i were to buy rotors again i would go with just slotted because drilled looks cool and all make the rotors more proned to cracking. For everyday driving it shouldn't be a problem though.

 

i bought dba slotted rotors and hawk ceramics and i love my brakes now.

 

Thank You for the feedback, Do you remember how much you spent on the breaks and Rotors and what site I can order from, Thank You

 

I bought the rotors at r1concepts.com they are about $200 for both front and rear. I only got the fronts though and if you spend 150 or more its free shipping. Ebc pads i think i got it from their site and that was 80 i think for the fronts.

 

ebc dimpled and slotted rotors, red stuff pads. easy install, stops on a dime, low dust.

 

Are Drilled Rotors known to crack easily or is it unlikely to happen??

 

They increase the chance of cracking but if you are just street driving the car then there shouldn't be a problem since it won't be seeing track stress or anything like that. I would recommend going with slotted and not drilled you still have the style but less risk.

 

Thank You

 

No problem o and get stainless steel break lines it will give you a better pedal feel.

 

Ok, Just curious, Aside from Style, Is their a Difference between Slotted Rotors and Blank Rotors?

 

The slotted are for gases to escape so that the pad and rotors had a good contact but with today's pads they don't create any if much gas. Other then that there isn't any significant added break power you will ever see in daily street driving.

 

Thanks A Lot for all your info and feedback, I appricate it!!

 

no problem
