Interpart dude, just down the road from you too in Petone. They know their stuff.

none avaiable in time - i did give them a call..

How about plain jane ones from BNT, theres a guy at hutt city engine recon in seaview who will machine slots in for $30 per side, that makes them real cheap

You can pick up pretty cheap rotors at repco - got mine for $76.00 each but the only thing where that they were not slotted so if you want slotted which are better quality you'll pay a bit more. 8)

+1 on ripco bought them though i mate who works there for $40 pair just going to get them slotted and drilled also by i friend for $20 a corner i'll post up a picture when i get them back.

Also found out my brake rotors had already been skimmed hence warping quicker with a noob at the brakes

Dont they turn shit if you slot and drill them yourself?

i was thinking about getting mine slotted but got told not to?

[QRAF]

not sure this will be a first for me too?

I'm not doing them but giving them to a mate whose a head engineer on the night shifts so it's being done by a pro.

he just wants to see the rotors(there in the post) 1st so he can work out how many holes if any he can do and how many slots he should do?

does anyone have any counts on how many holes and slots they have on there brakes.

[BC5RA]

Cross drilled rotors that have been drilled will eventually crack, there are rotors that have had the holes cast into the disc.

Slotted rotor's have been said to prematurely wear brake pads.

Solid disc's are fine, if must then just have them slotted.

But some people need to learn the hard way.

[pl0x]

Mhm yea ive heard never drill rotors and if you can not slot them either then that helps life.

i only wanted slotted for the look lol but not worth the wear

[QRAF]

thanks guys he'll be doing in on the cnc machine so that'll speed things up.

i'm thinking about buying a 2nd set as while i can get them cheap and get them slotted.

that said he could say no to the holes due to strength issues as stated above and cracking.

going bendix for pads

live and learn i say

[Guest boostcut]

the thing to do would be just dimple drill them.... and alternate with a slot etc
