Drilled/slotted rotors for 06 GTO's



I have been looking for months as have others and finally found the performance rotors for the 06's $500 for all 4 thought that was reasonable compared to the dealer.

thought others would like to know as well.

found them here Performance Brakes - Brake Pads, Brake Rotors and Brake Kits

cheers,
JW

TireRack.com has everything from Fluid, to Lines, Pads and rotors. Competitive pricing and super fast shipping. I've been going through them for years with no complaints. They carry DBA, Powerslot, and a host of other mfg's, as well as BBK's and other nick-nacks. It's a 'safe' one stop shop.

if i was you i would just go with slotted not X drilled and slotted
as the X drilled rotor tend to crap between the holes and isn't really good for strength

Common Myth!!

Perpetuated by cheap, casted rotors. Buy off-brand/questionable rotors, and they will warp, crack etc.... Now, is it possible to warp and crack units that cost almost 10K.... you betcha. BUT, unless your name is on the SCCA, ALMS, or NASA pro-tour drivers list, the only way to warp, crack, or otherwise damage a rotor is almost impossible. The only feasible scenario would be driving through a puddle after a "LLLOOOONNNG" downhill canyon run. The thermal shock "could" warp of even crack your rotor regardless of slots, or X-drills, regardless of cost or quality. If you're warping/cracking your rotors from driving/autocrossing/tracking, buy some better rotors, and/or research the pad/rotor compatibility. A pad that generates and operates in temps of 800-1000 degrees, for obvious reasons can't be matched to a rotor designed to operated in the 500-700 degree temp range.

What i have heard is that the drilled and slotted rotors dont really do that mutch for you. i heard that the only reason that rotors are drilled is when formula indi cars were looking for a way to cut weight. and the slotted part of the rotor is back in the 60's? the break pads were made with espedis and the slotted rotor prevented it from glazing. Im not saying thats the truth and it could be just a bunch of geberish. please dont get mad lol. thats what iv heard. i was also thinking about buying some myself
