After a week of working on my brakes, I have come to the conclusion that I warped the left front rotor pretty bad... hmmm wonder how that happened lol <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
It started off with a small squeek, so I upgraded to some metallic pads from O'reily's (50 bucks or so). There were no squeeks for a few days, then it came back. It has been gettin worse ever since, so I got some new pads and returned the squeeking ones (warranty). They still did it real bad so I decided to get auto-tech at my school to machine the rotors. It was still terrible sounding, worse than school buses and 18-wheelers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

So, me and a few friends decided I needed some new front rotors to replace the warped ones.
Just the left front is warped, but I want to replace both front rotors with some slotted or dimpled rotors.

Has anyone upgraded their brakes with some good quality yet very affordable rotors? The only ones I have found were the power slotted rotors from tbyrne for 109.99 each.

Thanks a lot guys, I hope to buy these rotors and install them within the next few days, so I hope to get some quick reply's in! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

try baer eradispeed +1 rotors,and some ebc pads. you will not be dissapointed. some of our sponers have them, kinda $$$ but worth it.

 

I would love the Baers, Tbyrne has them... but I would have to have bigger wheels to fit them in, and the price is a lil too high for me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I am just lookin to upgrade the rotors and replace this annoying warped one!

 

If the rotor is warped bad you should be able to feel it in the pedal when you hit the brakes. I have 65k on the OE pads and rotors with no problems and about 70% of the pads left on all 4 corners and great performance, so in my opinion OEM is the only way to go.

 

I called Munday Chevrolet yesterday and they wanted around 350 EACH for the OEM rotors <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> , which is more than I want to spend for non slotted or dimpled rotors. So far the only one's I can fine are the power slotted rotors from Tbyrne.
