Centric plain rotors. Awesome quality, minimal casting flash in the vains and well priced at tire rack.

I guess ill mention i like the color of a zinc plated rotor, and if there are benefits to drilled/dimpled and slotted.

ever try the Big Bite Rotors from BlueOval?

I saw a post that had this place in it, think it might have and old post, but they were offering free shipping:

tps motorsports

And I have also seen this place in other posts:

rotor pros

I would be interested in hearing some opinions of both companies, my car is about due for a set too.

Thanks,

FTBR heavy duty 13" front and 13" conversion on the rears. Russell SS lines, Hawk ceramic pads, Motul fluid. Getting ready to swap it to R front calipers.

I looked at a lot of rotors (low end and high end, Stop Tech, Powerslot, DBA, AP Racing etc) and decided these are the best out the for the money. The rotors are top notch for track days and street driving, and so is the customer service from Bruce....

Yah, but quality and weight saving ain't cheap. They are actually made by Coleman Racing I think? Anyways when you Lougle Coleman it helps confirm the quality you receive.

Plus when it comes to the most IMPORTANT vehicle function all of us should put the most money into (braking. Working brakes equals no injury or death) I didn't want to skimp on quality within my budget. At my time of purchase, these cost less than the DBA 4000 and the AP rotors...

I'd rather give Bruce profit than some big box/online company anyways. I'm a "support the little guy/the guy that has done tons for the Mustang community" type of guy...

My front pads are just about ready for replacement, so I was thinking of getting some cool looking drilled rotors. I've heard you don't want drilled for street and they delaminate, is that true?

I wouldn't recommend drilled for any use unless you get really high end rotors like Lamborghini's have = carbon ceramic. I've even had a Brembo rep tell me their drilled rotors crack! If you want the looks of drilled get the EBC rotors. They are dimpled to give the looks of drilled without the fear of cracking.

If your just on the street drilled and slotted will be ok. Auto x, open track days, canyon twisters and those cool looking drilled/slotted rotors will probably not last that long. People that say they do, I'd question how hard there actually driving them.

I had a full set from Rotor Pros that were drilled and double-slotted. They use Centric blanks so they are great quality. I believe I got front and rear rotors and Hawk ceramic pads all for $330 shipped, I think. All that combined with ss lines and my car was a whole new stopping machine.

Bruce's two piece rotors, front and rear. And when he had the Christmas sale I got spare rotor discs. Great product. When compared to Brembo two piece rotors they are not expensive at all.
