Instead of struts and shocks, for the moment, Ive decided to go with slotted and crossed drilled rotors and ceramic thermo-quiet pads from r1concepts.com Thanks for the reference mark.

 

how much they quote ya?

 

305 bucks for everything. I even got a few bucks off cuz i had problems with the website, and the sales rep was pretty cool

 

ya R1 concepts is great, i have been using them since i lived in California..and then some

did you get front and rear?

 

yup. all around. ceramics front and back. and rotors front and back

 

I'll give you $20 for your old rotors.

 

sure. the fronts are cross drilled and slotted (about a year and a half old). the rears are the stock ones from the factory. What do you need em for?

 

Track fodder.

 

gothcha. yeah ill let you know when i get it done and ill bring em by

 

Actually, don't want the slotted/crossdrilled rotors. I prefer the stock rotors. More surface area = more stopping power.

 

If the rotors are not warped and have any meat left on them I would be interested if Mark doesn't take them. What diameter are they?

 

fronts are 13", the rears are 11.25". Mark, if you dont want the slotted, the rears are in good shape, with some meat left. Bill, the fronts still have plenty left on them as well, i am getting a little vibration from the front, one theory is that they are slightly warped, however they have only been on the car for around a year and a half

 

Can a slotted rotor be turned?

 

its not recommended. if you really wanted to you could

 

From what I read people do this, but they seem to have trouble finding a shop willing to do it. On one truck forum they said he went to 4 brake companies and none would touch them because they said it would mess up their brake lathe.

 

ive heard things like that as well. my shop teacher said he did not think so.

 

Brakes left Memphis at 4 this afternoon. should be here tomorrow morning

 

Got the brakes on last night, thanks to mark!! are you guys still interested in the old rotors?
