well i need to replace my front rotors..should i just go OEM..or should i get some drill slot rotors? what are your thoughts..thanks...brand im planin on geting is the powerslot..price is not much different between the two.

 

get power slot. just for the looks

 

Your pads will wear more quickly with drilled and/or slotted rotors. FYI

 

It shouldn't be that noticeable. I have slotted and drilled/slotted rotors on 2 of my 3 cars. I haven't noticed a difference in how fast my pads wear. The only time I noticed a difference, is when I switched pad compounds.

 

Perhaps I should have said "may" wear more quickly

 

thats not true i have 50% pad left on my project mu's with slotted rotors and ive put on 45k miles on them

 

In GENERAL, pads will wear faster with slotted rotors. Slotted rotors are also a little harder to resurface. The purpose of slotted rotors is to prevent the pads from glazing.

Drilled rotors can develop stress fractures. The purpose of drilled rotors is to dissipate the gases and heat.

Both are purely bling for street use and like all performance parts, has their give and take.

 

You must drive like a grandma... or put on a lot of highway miles

 

does it matter which brand rotors i get? or they all pretty much the same?

 

There are over 7 quality grades of the base cast iron used to pour the rotor, each has it's own unique characteristics.

Axxis Ultimate pads SUCK - do not buy them. Next to no bite when cold.

 

i beg to differ. i've had them on both my racecar and my old maxima and in both cases they grab very aggressively under all conditions i've driven through. the only downside would be the amount of dust they create.
