whats the diff bt turned and resurfaced

 

I'm speculating the listing is wrong. The larger pad is for the 05+ brakes and the smaller pad for the 03-04 brakes.

I didn't fact-check this.

 

That's interesting. I checked tiretrack.com and for my car specs they listed the smaller one for the front, not the larger one.

Anyone have any experience with this?

 

I tend to stay away from cross-drilled/slotted. They look nice, but I've never noticed a huge performance increase. At the last track event I was at, people were joking about how it doesnt matter what kind of rotors you get, they'll all crack so might as well get the cheap ones.

I dont fully subscribe to that philosophy, I still buy Brembo rotors, but I just get vented. I've seen a fair amount of people at the track getting slotted StopTechs (Centric I think is the same company) and the like. I find that people at the racetrack usually know whats up when it comes to best bang for the buck.

Get slotted and cross-drilled for looks if you want, but you're probably not going to need to cool your rotors that much if you're not on a racetrack.... unless you live in an area where you can repeatedly get up to +125mph and back down to 60mph every minute or so for 30 minutes, then you'll want to get racing brake fluid and some semi-metallic pads as well (very dusty).

Pad Recommendations:
EBC Redstuff for street (I tried Hawk HP-S's, have always been a fan, but they sent me the wrong size so I tried someone else)
EBC Yellowstuff for track (Hawk HP+ were great on my other cars)

The Redstuff pads faded after 2 laps, I would slow from 125-80 at a decent pace, but the 80-40 took WAY longer than I wanted. Switched to yellowstuff and everything was lovely. The Reds are ceramic and low dust, perfect for the street. They stop you pretty well, just dont try to do a ton of 100-0's in a row. Yellows are semi-metallic and that means brake dust, plan on cleaning your wheels a lot, I didnt find a real need for them off of the track so I went back to the reds for the street. I'll throw the yellows back on at the next track event though.
