Brake needs to be changed and want to upgrade rotors and need input

[piss&vinegar]

I need to replace my brake pads and I thought while I do that for all 4 wheels I should maybe upgrade/change the rotors as well. I looked on Lethal Performance and found a couple of ideas but would like to get input from others.

Brembo - Slotted or Drilled

Brembo : Lethal Performance, Performance parts for Ford Mustangs

Baer - Slotted/Drilled

Any input would be appreciated!!

There's a chance that slotted and or drilled that your braking distance will increase. Slotted rotors help expel gases during hard use like open tracking, and cross drilled is to reduce weight.

Just something to think about.

I do realize that but I am having a time finding the OEM replacement and thus got me thinking of the rotors above. Thanks for the info though. Do you know of any reputable sites that offer OEM replacement Brembo disc for Cobras? I may just get those instead if I cannot turn the ones I have.

I got mine from Tire Rack for cheap about a year ago.
Check there, maybe shop around.

I don't. For what it's worth, I'd go for the slotted rotors over stock. They look way too good to pass up sitting behind a pair of aftermarket wheels.

Tire rack has an outstanding price on Brembo 13" same as OE rotors!

The only functional upgrade of these rotors would be a diameter increase kit to 14"(18' wheels required)

Or a two piece rotor and Aluminum hat design(lighter in the non-fire path area).

I run plain jane Brembo stock rotors and I buy them from where ever I can find the best deal.

Now... If you are looking for a cosmetic upgrade, the ignore my post.

Tire Rack USED to have the 13in Brembo blanks for a great price. But they haven't even been listed on there site for at least the last 2 months.

Have you looked into the Cobra R Brake Kits.

Napa had Brembos when I was pricing them a while back, the box just said NAPA but inside they had same as OEM FORD Brembos.

Import Replacement Parts | Import Performance & OEM Parts was the only place I could find the stock blank brembo rotors last month. very good price and fast to ship. also got the hawk hps pads from them as well. Like mentioned above, the 2000 cobra R kit is a very good option as well.

 

[piss&vinegar]

Thanks everyone! I went with the site gerlacha mentioned and order both rotors and pads from them. Good prices plus free shipping.

I used rotorpros and was very happy with the chinese/american re-fabbed drilled slotted rotors (4) that I got for $290 shipped with hawk pads. brembos, damn!

Trust me, many of us get too comfortable posting on the message board and things sometimes get overlooked. I can relate! It comes with age, right Jimmy!! ;-)

I did apologize:shrug: Perhaps that's not enough? CUT OFF A HAND!

I have bought them from Tire Rack before, I guess they must be on back order with them now.
