cross drilled or stock rotors??

noreast · 10-04-2009

I have a 1996 cobra and i need new rotors and brakes.....Should i just go with the stock rotors or do the cross drilled and slotted rotors??

And can u get the cross drilled rotors cut if they ever needed to be? thanks!

I run slotted in the front and stock in the rear, most of the stopping power is generated by the front brakes!

I have Brembo slotted in the front, Brembo solid in the rear. I have had both CD's and slotted, and I like slotted better cause the holes in the CD's collect dust.

I have cross drilled/slotted for the front and rear with stock brake pads.

Cross drilled and slotted rotors won't improve you're breaking distance if that's what you're asking. All they will do (if anything on a street car) is keep your brakes a little cooler and prevent some brake fading. The only thing that will really affect your brake performance is larger rotors and a good set of pads. That being said you can find good deals on slotted rotors maybe even cheaper than oem. Some people just like the way they look. Like alot of things it just your preference.

I found these on ebay and i wanted to know what other think.1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 FORD COBRA F&R D/S ROTORS:eBay Motors (item 300349167195 end time Oct-19-09 00:58:36 PDT)

Looks like a good deal, especially the free shipping as rotors are very heavy. IMO unless you're talking about F1 carbon fiber rotors, rotors are rotors. You could spend a ton of money on Brembo rotors if you want to tell people you've got Brembo rotors. In reality these are probably just as good. Rotors aren't complex or difficult to machine so chances are you're getting a good deal. I've always gone with 'generic' rotors with good results. Just tell everyone they're Brembos.

I run the Brembo Cross drilled rotors front and rear. Love them.

I've used the ebay rotors for about 10 years now on all my vehicles and they work flawless. That looks like good deal but i would ask them to make sure it's for a Mustang. At one point on there, under item description, it says it's for a 2002-2005 Acura RSX.
