Rotor recommendations

[whiplash920]

Looking for rear rotors right now, but fronts in the near future. Car is currently about 700 rwhp and mainly a weekend warrior...mostly spirited cruising, drag strip 6-8 times a year. Havent been road racing yet but i would like to...maybe 1-2 times a year.

Still have the stock rear rotors, but upgraded hawk hps pads. What rotors would be recommended here for what i have hp-wise and use (will use) the car for? Dont want complete overkill, but something appropriate. Was planning on keeping the pads since they only have about 500 miles on them. Thanks!

DBA, just decide what level you need/ afford.

Have the Bear Eradaspeed 14" 2pc rotors love them! Keep an eye out on Shelby's EBay site, you can get a set (open box) for like 1/2 price.

+1 for DBA (Disc Brakes Australia), 4000 series rotors for high performance street/strip and 5000 series rotors for road course. They work great with Hawk HPS pads... that's the combination I have used for six years.

I have two nearly brand new StopTech slotted rotors for sale

Stock would probably be fine honestly. You aren't doing a lot of road course stuff so stock is fine. Anything else would really be overkill. I haven't ran the hawk pads on the Shelby, but I went back with the stockers again and I do go to the track a couple times per year and have never had brake issues.

I've got the Hurst rotors, work great and the rears are 5lbs lighter, fronts 7lbs.

I run StopTech rotors up front and Centric 13.8" (13-14 size) on the rear with Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. Works great on the road and track, but May move to a more aggressive dedicated track pad for the next outing.

Imatk, I dont know much about these rotors...where did you get them and are they an upgrade from stock?

Got them from StopTech... StopTech makes brakes for a lot of different companies... Roush, Saleen, etc.

They are vented and slotted and weigh slightly less than the stock rotor which is why I bought them.

Here's a link that has details on them
