both what?

you can get a front and rear set of powerslot rotors from LMPerformance for $400, which is not a bad deal.

you can also order a stage 1 and stage 2 brake package from Brenspeed. stage 1 and stage 2 differing from what they offer. the stage two offers HAWK brake pads, brake fluid, SS brake lines and rotors (your choice -drilled or slotted- for like $650.

Nope, I swapped out my rotors at around 300 miles or so. OEM pads were basically still new, so I kept them.

RotorPros sells some Performance, low dust pads if I wanted to replace them.

Ok, my bad.

I know powerslot has slotted rotors, but I would like rotors with slots and drilled. I know baer and roush has good stuff, but it is too much for me to drop that much coin on just a new front set.

Also, I noticed that the GT 500 set is available with 14" rotors, will that set up fit in most aftermarket wheels?

I got 18" deep dish bullitts 18 x 9 from mustang tuning.

slotted and drilled are a hefty penny. your paying at least $500 for a set of those kind of rotors, front OR rear, any co who makes them is at least $500 or more.

Contact Rich at RotorPros for any questions on brake pad selection and compatibility.
Make sure you choose the zinc plating option to lessen the chance of rusting in the future.

Here's some pics I took of my rotors last Saturday (installed in May).

FRONT:



REAR:

I just got a quote from them for front only.... 175.00 for a pair (front only) 45 more for dust less pads. I chose the red hubs to match my calipers. Bill, I did not notice the zinc plating option? Not sure what type of pads they are.

Looks like I got my christmas present all picked out. he he

Thanks bill.



Maverick,

Good luck....Are you intraining now? if so where?

I'm not sure, but I know that 89Trooper bought his rotors almost the same time I did and his shows some rust on the surface where the pad doesn't hit and along the vanes too. He's planning on painting thos areas soon.

Maybe give Rich a call and make sure all areas will be zinc coated.

Those rotors are SWEET, from Rotorpros. You can't beat the price either. Definitely a winter project for me. Hey Bill, have you had any cracks develop where the drilled portions are on the rotors? Thats the only thing that worries me about cross drilled rotors. They have a tendency to have hairline cracks develop with normal driving. Let me know if you get a chance.

well rotor pros sent me pricing for front and rear, zinc coated, drilled and slotted, also coated red, with new low dust free pads, all for 420 shipped. It explains that there holes are drilled and counter sunk to keep from cracking etc. For that price it will definitely go on my list. Good luck
