Black Beast Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Title says it all... About to put 22 TBSS on my 'rado.... Want to put new brakes and rotors on as well. Was thinking about slotted rotors... Anyone have good things or bad things to say about my idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 http://ssbrakes.com/i-10093030-rotor-14-rotor-caliper-relocation-kit.html I run the front and rear big brake kit from them. I am very pleased with the quality. Still look like new with over a year of use on them. Slotted rotors with Ceramic pads and I have literally no brake dust, and no fade in the brakes either. Do not go with drilled and slotted rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Have you looked into the z06 conversion? Fills up 22's nicely and has cool factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Beast Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yea, I've looked at it, dont want to spend thousands on it though... I have rear drums and would love 4 wheel Disc, but then again, not looking to spend thousands. Looking for a upgrade in brakes, without "braking" the bank... Pun intended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC03SS Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) I just went with the SSBC slotted replacement rotors and new acDelco pads. Less than 500$ and they work great.

Fireman31 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Drilled rotors tend to crack easier under high heat, stick with a slotted rotors. My vote is for EBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian22030 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Sinr, did you use the included pads from ssbc? I just orderd that kit a few days ago... FYI rotors are not in stock and will not be a available till the end of the month...

Cramer Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Why do you say not to go with drilled and slotted? I am curious because that's what I was thinking about getting. The drilled and slotted are more prone to cracking and chew up pads and in return causes the rotors to gouge. I have some pics of my last set of drilled and slotted rotors with less than 12k on them. Sinr, did you use the included pads from ssbc? I just orderd that kit a few days ago... FYI rotors are not in stock and will not be a available till the end of the month... My kit didn't include the pads. I went with the big rotor upgrade that includes the 14" front and rear rotors and the caliper relocation brackets. http://ssbrakes.com/i-10092703-rotor-14-rotor-caliper-relocation-kit.html I already had lifetime replacement ceramic pads on the front and rear so I thought i'd try them out and see if they were good. I am pleased with the setup for sure. Also my rotors weren't in stock either when I ordered them. The kit was drop shipped from SSBC with a manufacture date of 3 days prior to receiving them. And it only took 5 days from the order date to get them in total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Couple pics of the install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian22030 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Sinr, glad to hear your happy with the set up, do the rotors make noise when braking like some slotted or cross drilled rotors often make? Where did you get lifetime pads from! I'm down with that, I usually run oem but as I'm sure you know they can be alittle pricy I like how only the caliper itself is red, lookn good!

Cramer Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) The pads are from the parts store. I will be painting and powder coating the whole suspension this year so the flaking caliper paint and chipped frame coating will be gone. And no noise at all with the rotors.
