Default Brake comparison

So I need to replace my front rotors fairly soon. I was looking into either StopTech Cryo Slotted Brake Rotors or EBC Ultimax Slotted Brake Rotors. Does anyone have any experience with either of these rotors?

Why do you want slotted rotors?

1) please go to quick links-> edit signatute-> add all your truck details.

2) for the most part slotted rotors are not as good as a blank rotor.

Right now I have drilled and slotted rotors I got off eBay. They are actually good rotors, never warped or cracked, they're just getting worn down since I have had them on there for a while. Basically I'm looking for a rotor that's going to give me good stopping power but is really durable and won't overheat under heavy braking. I can get the EBC rotors for $240.79 w/ free shipping right now

Wow! Great job creating a signature. Hardly anyone ever listens when you ask them!

You should buy whatever rotors make you happy. Everything I have read about brake rotors says that with todays brake technology buying a good quality pad and a good quality blank rotors is best.

YOU SHOULD ADD YOUR TRANNY TO YOUR SIG.
