They're the only ones able to tell you what 6gc.net would Recommend, because it'd be their Recommendation. The rest of us could only give opinions. thanks dman for pointing out my mistake.. 1) what brand brake pads would you guys/gals recommend (oem vs aftermarket) and 2) what brand slotted rotors would you guys/gals recommend (brembo vs others) -------------------- things happen for a reason.

no no, you didnt make a misteak. I just pointed that out so that i could answer your question without repramand from a mod
![]() Okay, Bremo is a premium brand, Personally; i will use anything that didn't originate from e-bay. ![]() But now for my trick, Get a lighter and hold it to the rotor. See what happens after a few min. (my pop taught me this trick when i was little to test the grade of steel; we collect weapons) okay, after a few min, if it turned color, smoked or did anything else, its crap (obviously) Then slam it on the concrete, High grade steal will not scratch on concrete. When i say slam, i mean pop a hole in the street and stomp that mother-fcuker around like your playing air-hockey/soccer. lol. Thats how you know if you have a good pair or not ![]() i need to find the boxes to mine... i'll tell you what brand i got. (they passed the test. ![]() sorry, i mention the test because Even though you know that you knew that, you didnt know that you knew that. A friend of mine bought some from e-bay years ago; and they smoked when he put them on. The front driver side cracked into 2 pieces while he was driving down the road less than 2 weeks into them. ![]() This post has been edited by D-Man: Apr 4, 2008 - 1:53 PM -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!!

![]() ![]() ![]() sorry that last post made me giggle. Rotors: - ATE slotted rotors = great product. - Brembo Blank rotors = great product Pads: - HAWK HPS street pads = great pad - HAWK performance ceramic = good pad - Akebono ProACT Ceramic Pads = good pad - EBC GREENSTUFF = good pad go with these products and there is no need to slam your junk on the ground, attempt to light your rotors on fire or see if you can screw up your sidewalk ![]() This post has been edited by playr158: Apr 4, 2008 - 2:05 PM |

what'd i tell ya
![]() It's intended for all steel products. not just rotors. But i do it with rotors and wont use a pair till i crack something with em. Death has see the crack in my parking lot from my rotors ![]() I also do it when i buy other steel items, not just rotors. lol, it's just a rule of thumb i live by. If it can survive being stoped into the street without a scrach, then it can be owned by me ![]() -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW!

![]() He's right about the lighter thing tho - if you can burn impurities with a relatively low heat source like a lighter then the metal is sh*t - however you're not taking into account the rust preventative they coat the metal with after machining [otherwise all new rotors would be rusty when you get them]. That stuff will produce more smoke than you are likely to get from any impurities you may encounter in your rotors. However if anyone wants to truely test the theories and various rotors out I have a rockwell hardness tester and various other metal testing equipment here at work.

drilled discs are pointless, modern pad compounds dont give of the same level of gases as they breakdown as older pads used to, which is why the holes/grooves are there, so the gas escapes into those rather than getting trapped between the pad surface and disc, pushing the pad away from the disc surface.
drilled just weakens the disc, its purely marketing and your a mug if you fall for it. The likes of porsche have discs that are cast with the holes in it, they dont drill them, and again this is more for looks than anything. Slotted is maybe usefull but that depends on the pad, most dont have the glazing problem anymore, again marketing owns you.. save some money by buying just plane old blanks, and spend the money you saved there on buying decent pads, get a good compound thats where the stopping power and fade characteristics come from. |

On a road car your unlikely to be using those kinds of pads, you really need a street pad thats going to work from low temps, and all grooved discs are doing is accelerating the wear of the pad, so what your really doing is costing yourself more money for no gain. If you are using discs that need grooved discs then you will need to be buying seriosly expensive treated discs or they will crack when used with that sort of pad. I say buy plane discs because unless your racing, plane discs are far cheaper to buy and replace,combine with decent pads suitable for street use will give you by far the best value for money.
