slotted irotors for 2002 wrx..anyone running these ?..was thinking about buying these for an upgrade..i already have the ss lines..will be installing new hawk hps brake pads along with the ate super blue brake fluid as well..any input ?

 

IMO, I would just get some good blank rotors like some brembos. They will be great for a daily driver...good cheap price and last longer than slotted/drilled (they can be resurfaced).

 

I ran stoptech slotted stock replacement rotors with hawk hps pads. They did real well and had a slight performance gain over just stock, but that was mainly the pads, ss lines and fluid. I would never get cross drilled rotors, either blank or slotted.

 

Defintely what he said ^. Do not get drilled rotors. Solids and slotted are the way to go. The only real performance gain you see come to different pad materials, fluids and lines (aside from replaceing the hard parts).

 

Get Brembo's if you can.

 

drill and slottted rotors only help cool the disc down. if someone would pull out in front of you theses rotors would actually stop worse than stock. less friction area

 

thanks for all the info guys..i've decide to just turn the stock rotor's if they need to be and just upgrade the pads with hawk hps and use the ata super blue for now..combined with my ss lines already in place i should feel a difference..

 

They also clean the rotors surface area of pad material, and your statment is not true.
