Rotor upgrade for stock Brembos
My 5.0 is a 2011 brembo car, and it's time for me to change the front rotors. I would like to upgrade them, but I don't know which ones are worth buying. What do y'all recommend?

SSBC makes great rotors. As do Baer and Wilwood. One of the most popular upgrades is a big brake or 14" front rotor kit. Upgrade kits usually have everything you need installation wise. But tools and and jackstands are on you
Check out eother of those company websites and search for applications on an 11+ gt to find ones that will fit |
An inexpensive option is a stock replacement rotor from Powerslot...which is actually a Stoptech rotor rebranded. I recommend the slotted variety.
If you want a nice performance upgrade, Baer makes a two piece slotted rotor that is also a direct replacement. You may want to replace pads at the same time for optimal brake performance and feel. |

TPS has a great deal on rotors. I got mine last year and they have been put through a few trackdays and Auto-x with no issues.

The Powerslots don't really save much in weight, but the slots help with efficiency. <-- I have used these and found them durable and perform well, great bang for buck factor. The Baer two-piece does both and for a two piece solution it was the most cost effective I found. |

Do you have more info on these for us visually challenged folks. Part numbers would be awesome too if you have them handy. |

Abuse aside, it depends on your viewpoint. For me the problem with the stockers is that they are heavy and inefficient.

To be honest, anytime a part needs to be replaced, I like to upgrade it. I don't need slotted or drilled rotors, but I want them. I guess it's really more of an appearance mod more than anything else.

No harm in spending a little extra to get what you want when you are spending the coin anyway to replace worn parts.
|
So I found that RockAuto.com has these ( http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sph-128-61089l ) for $92 each
I think this is the way I'm gonna go |
Pretty good deal.
