Powerslot or Baer?

I'm looking to get direct replacement rotors for my 06 GT. Don't want a big brake setup, so which is a better rotor, Powerslot or Baer?

There is NO comparison between those two companies.....That is just like asking "Chevette or Corvette...which is faster". One is a chinese rotor and the other is not....you get what you pay for.

If you are going to compare rotors then compare Baer with Brembo or Stillen. But as for the above comparison...Baer hands down.

Baer, but as I remember they dont make any direct rotor replacement kits. The Eradispeed is a great kit though.

Look into DBA as well, they have direct replacement rotors in both 1 piece and 2 piece designs. They are available through Steeda and Tire Rack as far as I know.

sweet, I'll keep that in mind. BTW, how do you like the DBA stuff? At some point I'm gonna do a brake upgrade and I'm really interested in the 2-piece rotors (epsecially if they plan to or have GT500 replacements avialable)?

I carry DBA. Can also do PowerSlot and PowerStop (different companies). But one option I have and recommend are the ATE PremiumOne rotors. $69 each for an '05-10 GT... Slotted, coated. OEM quality (ATE is a division of Continental/Teves). Not everyone loves the pattern, some don't care, some really like it.

And the slots are actually not very deep. Deep enough to look good and sweep away dirt so it's not embedded in the pads. But shallow enough that they aren't compromising the strength of the disc. In fact they are acutally wear indicators. Meaning the are only as deep at the depth of minimum wear spec of the rotor--and no more. When the rotor is worn out, the slots go away telling you just that.

You can see both the DBA and ATE here: http://www.stranoparts.com/searchbym...=196&ModelID=5

I do not have Baer, PowerSlot or PowerStop up.. but I can do all those too. But I prefer the DBA and the ATE's and I can only get so many parts up on the site, so I have make some choices.

We carry all 4 SLOTTED AND DRILLED with zinc coated Rotors with Ceramic pads for $400 Shipped. They are a direct replacement for your OEM stock rotors. We run these rotors on our company SRT8 Grand Cherokee, and the bite these rotors offer are amazing. Not to mention we have put these on 03-04 Terminators and they are great rotors at a great price. PM me if you are interested in a pair of these rotors as we are putting these on our site as we speak.
