Brand & Model: PowerSlot Slotted Rear Rotors
Price paid & from where: $92 per rotor from AutoAnything.com.
Pros: Big difference in stopping power even with OEM calipers. Look great.
Cons: Perhaps a bit pricey. Rotora is cheaper.
Final Verdict: Great rotor in function and form. Wish I would have gone with Rotoras because they have the hub and vents painted black. But in terms of function/form, these are just as good. Shop around for prices though.
Brand & Model: Rotora Slotted Front Rotors
Price paid & from where: $80!!! per rotor from ExceleratePerformance.com
Pros: Best price I found, very fast shipping (they're in CT & I'm in OH), great service and good shipping.
Big difference in stopping power even with OEM calipers. Look great.
Cons: I've heard the black coating rusts away after awhile, but I don't know since I just got them.
Final Verdict: Great rotor in function and form, best performance & looks for the price.
Brand & Model: Duralast CMax Gold Ceramic Brake Pads
Price paid & from where: $35 from Autozone
Pros: Noticeably better stopping power, long lasting, makes less brake dust. Also free lifetime replacement, just bring into Autozone when nearly worn and you get free replacements.
Cons: None
Final Verdict: Just as good as Hawks for the price. Just try em.
Brand & Model: Rotora 4-piston big brake kit w/13" slotted rotors
Price paid & from where: $650 from a member
Pros: Looks really nice behind the wheel face. Definitely more stopping power (need a wider set or wheels/tires than OEM to take advantage). Compatible with ABS. Easy to install since it uses the stock parts/hardware. Relo bracket is part of caliper.
Cons: Caliper is made of aluminum which is nice since it's light, but the banjo bolt hole can strip - DO NOT overtighten.
Final Verdict: Looks really nice, performs well, & easy to install. If you find something like this used, it's a great upgrade. Pair with a set of stainless steel brake lines.
Brand & Model: Russell stainless steel brake lines
Price paid & from where: $109 from Summit Racing
Pros: Well made, look good, come with brackets/hardware for OEM fitment. Improve pedal feel.
Cons: None
Final Verdict: Simple upgrade, look nice with a well finished caliper, and firm up brake pedal a bit.
