rotors/pads

[00 Ragtop Z]

OK-time to change the rotors and pads (117,000 miles on the rotors-honest)

Looking to go with cross drilled or slotted rotors and, I suppose, ceramic pads.

Suggestions?

I want good brakes, but don't want the good brakes to break me-if you get my drift.

Try baer brakes they have a lot of different packages to choose from. You can get direct OE replacement rotors pretty cheap. That way you can have cross-drilled rotors and use the stock calipers.

ill have to find the link again but cross driller/slotted rotors are only good if ur a hardcore auto-x or road racer. otherwise they are just show and cut down on ur pad life. just get a good set of rotors and pads and be done with it

Appreciate the comment ( and was aware of that), but actually I do want them more for show. Despite 117,000 miles, the ragtop is still in pretty pristine condition and I do show it around the Dallas area. I am buying C5 thin spoke wheels for it, and the slotted or cross drilled rotors would be perfect for looks. I am light on the brakes (only one set of pads and the original rotors at 117,000 miles) so wear is not my biggest concern.

Thanks for your input though.

I have gone with PowerSlot rotors with Hawk HPS pads. They seem to be doing OK for me, and the dust build up is not bad at all.

Thanks--BTW, like the license plate-SAD that it's true-but I like it anyway.

WS6store.com has a good set of rotors from what I have heard. They are pretty cheap also.

Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. I've heard a lot of negative feedback on the drilled rotors cracking.

I have too.

Your better off with a set of slotted rotors. I would not go with some Drilled. They do crack and Seen them crack. The slotted ones look very nice too. If I were you I would get a set of 2 pc Slotted rotors, your pick of brand. Those look sharp IMO. Those with a set of Black Corvette Calipers, and you got yourself a winner. Like the Black ones in this picture. This Company Offers:
Slotted and Drilled
Slotted only
Drilled only

Brembo

Those are attractive.

No one has mentioned them, so i feel I should.
Brembo are a bit pricy, but unmatched.

This is what I have an will never use stock rotors. I got them from www.rotor pros.com . Mine are slotted an dimpled an painted red to match my car an I am using Hawk pads. They make the stock brakes look like crap. An the rotors were cheep. But Hawks were up in price but well worth it.I can send you pics if you want.
