I found this set on ebay....Can anyone tell me if these would be worthit or not (my stock rotors are warped to hell so let me know)! thanks!

What exactly does slotted rotors give you? Is it for gas release or? Cooling? Hmmm Never could figure out how less friction = better stopping power (or at least how it seems when I just kinda think about it)?

PoTsUrFrINd: no idea about them... maybe one of the guys can offer more feedback.

JohnnyC: its a long story that was answered in one of the posts arround this section... do a quick search and you will find tons of data about it.

release of gas mostly

release of gas mostly

+ cooling + lite weight (is it light or lite??

)

hehe it's "light".... "lite" is kinda a buzzword thing used to describe things that are generally not as good. Example: Lite mayonaise is not as good as mayonaise, but is supposed to contain less fat/sugar/etc...

thanks man... actually in my comment it should have been "less weight" but thanks anyways

get em... but ask if they can be non-zinc coated. the zinc gets rubbed off in the first 2 days of braking anyway and ends up plugging the pores in the pads to they get smooth instead of rough...

so zinc would be a bad thing then....the reason I ask is because the fact that I thought a brake pad should be smooth not rough, because if it is rough won't it score and scratch the rotor?? or am I totally crazy?

roughness causes friction and thats what you need to stop

well that makes sense now that i think about it!!
