ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

I do see these, and would think it's a misprint, but here's a pair of slotted EBC performance rotors for $19 PER PAIR.

I too was very excited about the concept of using drilled rotors on my Delorean. The stock rotors have a bad habit of warping on that car and I was told by the experts that the holes would help with heat dissipation.

The Facts:

The car is now much noisier as now you hear the air going through the holes in rotors even without applying the brakes. When you apply the brakes, they are even noisier than when you are just moving.

The rotors warped even faster than the stock rotors. I was shocked to see this happen. Warped rotors make the car pull when you apply the brakes and overall it is not a good thing.

Now, I know that you are saying. He is driving it really hard! Actually, I have less than 300 miles on the car in the last two years and I never drive it hard. The rotors warped from using them to simply slow down getting off of the local freeway.

All-in-all, this was probably the biggest waste of money I have ever spent. The car is way too noisy, the rotors warped even faster and the overall braking seems less effective than before the drilling.

Slotted, holed rotors that are designed by the OEM for car have had some engineering and they may make sense but I would say keep you money and spend it elsewhere.

as far as the noise...
i'm thinking that the Borla, and the Crue blasting on the stereo will elliminate rotor noise...

I just finished painting the calipers silver and Sandblasted and painted the inner barrels on the wheels...

Will these fit on my 2002? I assume they will.

Heck for this price it may be worth a look-see.

Thanks,

What? That must have been a bad set or something as I have had them on everything from Porsches to Ferrari's with no pulling, no noise, and no warping. In fact, first Porsche I ever bought (930 turbo) while doing 95 mph, the salesman raised both arms off the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes to show me how true it tracked. After almost loosing my cookies, I was hooked.

I believe the are standard on all their models with both.

jkburns yes they will fit your Kat. $112.00 at the brake warehouse.

Contact grrowl looks like he got the way better deal. I wish I saw them for that price.
