Drilled & Slotted Rotors

[Johns Steel Blue]

OK Guys.. Whose gotten them? What brand and where's ya get 'em. I'm due on my Cruiser and figured I'd go this route for performance and to get rid of all the brake dust (or at least a lot of it).

neither...just get a set of rabestos rotors and a set of there ceramic pads...that is all you need....

Still am planning on the drilled & slotted.

If you don't mind spending the money, buy Baer DecelaRotors. Can get them at Pro Street:

A lot of aftermarket slotted and/or drilled rotors use OEM blanks/rotors and in many cases Brembo plain rotors, so it's hard to find rotors for the PT that come from/are made by the brake rotor companies drilled and/or slotted to their specs. Baer and maybe EBC are the only ones I know of (EBC rotors are slotted with dimples to simulate crossdrilling).

Slotted only rotors will give you the least amount of potential problems. Crossdrilled rotors "may" crack on you and fall apart because the crossdrilling acts as "heat risers" that cause stress points which leads to cracking. Slotted rotors will tend to warp as the slots wear down to the rotors minimum thickness.

Just remember that slotting and/or crossdrilling rotors reduces your effective braking surface area. So it's all a tradeoff.

Just FYI: If one does a search, Brembo plain rotors are selling less than premium OEM plain rotors. Might be because of the currency exchange but I found that quite interesting.

wasting you money on them.....

Everyone entitled to their opinion.

I've been told that slotted and drilled rotors are only good for folks braking at very high speeds, since they handle the higher friction temps better. If you are staying at or near the speed limit, you do not necessarily NEED slotted/drilled rotors for added performance. If you are going for a particular look, then that's fine. If you're one of those folks that plan to tear up the highways and byways, then you'll probably need them. To reduce brake dust, Raybestos ceramic pads are the way to go. I got them last year and my (stock) chrome wheels have been dustfree and shiny ever since.

Yea, Yea. Hear all your stories about not needing them or wasting money, but they look great, and work much better than the stock stuff. Got mine off eBay (sorry can't remember vendor)and paired them with Kevlar Pads to get rid of the dust.
