I have an 07 TL-S

and i am thinking of getting the ROTORA slotted rotors and ROTORA CERAMIC pads

what do you guys think?

I bought the exact same setup. Have yet to install though. From my research that was a very good choice for braking. Wish i had more info to give..they look great that's for sure. I stare at them in the garage everyday waiting to put them on when my pads wear out.

I need to know when you guys install and how much brake dust there is compared to stock. I have brand new stock on my car from the dealership and i get TONS of brake dust on my rims. Not sure if its natural with the Brembo's or what.

Brembo's dust like crazy. My rims used to get dirty in a few days.

I've got RacingBrake rotors/pads from Heeltoe.com, stops on a dime and a lot less dust.

i go back and forth between rotora and racing brake..i need to order something soon before i go crazy.

don't care about dust..I DO CARE ABOUT NOISE THOUGH..

Mine are silent. Use a synthetic caliper lubricant though, something like Versachem.

I just ordered the PowerSlot Slotted rotors paired with Stoptech Street Performance pads, and I'm gunna have them on the car tomorrow and let you know what they are like. Excelerate has this package for 440 bucks (all 4 rotors and all the pads), which is where I just ordered them from.

I'm running the Rotora slotted and drilled front discs with the H2 ceramic pads. I am very happy with the braking performance and dusting. I upgraded to dot 5 fluid and SS lines at the same time so the car stops well.

On a side note washing and double waxing the brake calipers will keep them nice and clean.

Hi speed
do you get any brake squeaking noise with the combo you have?

I hate cars

I have their BBK with the H2 pads and drilled/slotted rotors. They have a minor squeek maybe once a week for the first stop of the day and then nothing after that. I'm going with the more aggressive H6 pads within the next few days.

Rotora's are good. I really like my RacingBrake rotors/pads, too.

I always felt the ceramic pads were race pads and needed to be treated more aggressively.

pulled the trigger last night..i ordered the ROTORA SLOTTED ROTORS WITH ROTORA CERAMIC PADS.

time for some rake fluid..i might as well flush the system..

This.

07 TL-S. Not that it mattered much to me because I constantly clean my ride but there is much less dust which is nice. As for the squeaking, the ONLY time it squeaks is if it has rained, and you start your car after it has been sitting a few hours. But it only does it the first time or two that you pump the brakes. After that the rust is gone (before I even leave my dirveway). Completely normal like any other setup.

When it all comes down to it, I just really cared about how it looked and slotted/drilled looks hot on TLs.

My stock rears are pretty much worn out at around 73k miles. I'm about to replace them with Rotora as well.

Did slotted Rotora's + ceramic pads in the back, about 75% less brake dust, no squeaking. Didnt do any type of pad treatment, and had no issues. Squeaked for the first day or so.

Doing the same setup in the front very soon. Definitely recommend.

I will be spending as much for pads/slotted rotors all around and doing it myself as my dad paid to have the dealership replace his rotors/pads on his 2007 Ford Escape....

Make sure you have a tool called an impact screwdriver when you do this, not to be confused with an impact wrench. You hit an impact screwdriver with a hammer and it twists while pressing in to break loose a the phillips screws on each brake rotor. Its a must have for the job.
