Rotors
#16
ok....im looking for stock size (low on cash) drilled/slotted rotors. No need for performance cuz i dont race...just like to look nice. I do have 20" shiny rims tho lolz. So know what? no irotors.....what others? where can i buy StopTechs then...they do come in stock size right? Are the rear rotors harder then the front? My wheel shakes when i brake..so i just want new rotors instead. Might have the old ones resurfaced and then sell them.

Try Tire rack for OE sized Brembos (plain), I put a set on my fathers Explorer, to rpleac the warped/ warp prone original, and they have held up over 2 year with no issues.

Just look at R1 Concepts http://www.r1concepts.com/. Some on here wil tell you they are crap because they rust. I will tell you that all rotors that are exposed to moisture will rust (Psst, they are made of iron). When you apply the brakes after they rust the pads will wipe it off. To protect the areas where the rotor does not swipe just paint it with a light coat of high temp paint. I used black PlastiKote caliper paint (good for 900 degrees). The brake pads will wipe the paint off where they contact the rotor and the paint will wear off of the pads. it also keeps your slots and drill from rusting. I did this to my R1 premium rotors and have no problems with them. I would just give the paint a day to dry before you put the rotors on the car. I would contact R1 through G35 Frenzy.com (that's what I did) and they will give you a better deal than their web site or ebay. FYI, the rear rotors are a bit(h to take off due to lack of room.
Also, StopTech and Power Slot are owned by Centric Rotors. The rotors sold by R1 are made by Centric who has a good reputation in their own right.
From Wikipedia: The main disadvantage of iron and steel is that pure iron, and most of its alloys, suffer badly from rust if not protected in some way. Painting, galvanization, passivation, plastic coating and bluing are some techniques used to protect iron from rust by excluding water and oxygen or by sacrificial protection.
Edit: T-Trank posted his rotors rusted and he has Rotora 12 pot brakes. So I guess these are crap since they rusted. See post #7

I have heard good and bad about R1, no first hand experience. Of course anytime some one has an issue they will make more noise than a satisfied customer. As far just doing the front, it should not be an issue. Just make sure your pads are OK, or change them out as well. The shaking is coming from the front rotors being warped, a common issue on pre 05s. The front do the majority of your braking any way.

Ok...so i bought two new StopTech drilled rotors and pads and Two new Falken 452 Tires. Replaced my rotors and new pads only so far (waiting to buy the other two tires) and when breaking still shakes on hard braking only now....very very very slightly do i notice when breaking regularly. For a fact i know i need an alignment and balancing (inside of all current four wheels are warn out) but could that cause the shaking also?? and bad wheels?? or could it be something else...like bearings? or shocks....(from what i heard).

Do one thing at a time to find out what the problem is. I would start with the alignment (especially with new tires) and go from there. Remember, at most tire stores you can get a lifetime alignment for about a hundred dollars more than just a one time alignment. This was you can have your car realigned frequently. I am pretty sure they will not balnce your current wheels if they are worn out. Next time buy a road hazard warranty to have your tires rotated and balanced regularly.
