the greenstuff ones where an improvement over my stock ones in the WRX, but only lasted about 8 months. I guess constant 120-130mph to 50-70mph pulls can be brutal to breaks . I've heard great things about the hawk pads, I'm getting those next, I put stock ones because I needed them badly when the greenstuff wants crapped on me. but I really need to change them now.

I agree with kevin on the cross drilled-slotted issue. On my car and my driving style, I need them, the stock brakes on the WRX are very weak, the rotors heat up and burn quick. Again I do take the car to 3 digits sometimes so that might be why, but on a mildly modded car, like a civic, you don't really need them. I would rather have them with good pads, in case I need them, and replace the pads sooner.

i have brembo cross drilled rotors with raybestos pads and they stop like whoa, i just got them on a week ago though so i'll have to see how they hold up over time. so far they make very little dust though.

aem powerslots and aem pads are what i'm looking into buying, i'll let u know if ur still wondering once i get em installed

we use axxis break pads and braided lines in my brothers wrx. it stops like crazy. they only thing is they are mad hella dusty. but since the rims are dfark its hard to tell.

Thats an f1 break rotor.. right there.. its not metal.. it has no form of gas disapation holes or slots. and we can all agree that f1 technology is by far the most advanced in motor-sports. Kain is not wrong, you guys are.. slots or hole just decrease surface area.. if you want gas to disapate quickly.. get stronger calipers.

on stock rotors?
I have to replace mine anyways, they are warped, but I might just get brembo rotors, and new pads. I've also heard about axxis pads on WRX's, being good.

projekteg

what is it, some kind of carbon concoction? where can you find carbon brake rotors for the every day car? and what do stronger calipers have to do with venting the gases? if anything, they cause more heat b/c they're putting even more force on the rotor. slotted and drilled rotors do work much better than blank rotors, period, i've had experience with both. the whole 'less surface area' argument is weak, maybe there is less surface area, but less surface area with cooler components is going to own a little more surface area with red hot temps.

yeah that's what I think

wow I'm almost at 2000 posts, it's only taken me like 3 years

PoorMansPorsche

no.. im just saying in regaurd to his statement about RACE cars slotted.. drilled.. what ever are not the best.. daily use is another story.. daily use your better off with a cheapo set not ment to handled 100-0 breaking. oh and its compressed carbon or something.

hey Spin doctor, I already covered that. Race cars with metal brakes DO have slotted discs
