Slotted Rotors... Where?
Hey guys, I was in Chi-Town for the weeked, and my boy Kennginn hooked a brotha up with some tie rod ends and ceramic pads. He said you guys have been getting some slotted rotors online from somewhere and that they are pretty decent and not too expensive. Soo... what, where and how much.
Thanks
jeff

Or NAPA. Kennginn is local to you and is a NAPA store manager. Although I have no experience with NAPA rotors, he claims good product.
Read the left column carefully in the following link. I tested the first set of RSM rotors for the Bonneville:

So, even with the slotted rotors the stopping may not be as good?
i was hoping - now that my brake pads are starting to squeal - that i could upgrade to ceramics and slotted and get better stopping power on this boat. :P

I'm pretty happy with the Raybestos/RSM combo, but I had a VERY early production rotor from them. I found as the brakes heat up, they work better, rather than fade. My review of RSM rotors is posted here somewhere.
