SPADA-1 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'll post my findings later.. Heres the ebay link 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. The Old Man as far as the noise... I just finished painting the calipers silver and Sandblasted and painted the inner barrels on the wheels... Its all good.. -GRROWL 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. ??? ------------------ regards, Kees ------------------ Will these fit on my 2002? I assume they will. Heck for this price it may be worth a look-see. Thanks, Kevin 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. 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. They do dissipate heat faster............ 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. Tom It says to break them in with new pads. That hurt because I only have 800 miles on my ceramics.SPADA-1 HELLO EVERYONE-
It's been a while since my last post; Hope everyone is well. With the warmer weather approaching, I'm getting the itch to upgrade my STOCK rotors to DRILLED one's. I did a little research and contacted BREMBO and also WILWOOD Both companies do not produce a product for the "AWESOME PROWLER" I know there's 1000's of MA' AND PA' companies that will take a STOCK BLANK and CNC machine one, and drill some holes. But this is NOT SAFE and will only warp or crack...
SO I'm back to square one. Where can we get a QUALITY drilled, Zinc platted Rotor??????
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATEDGRROWL I bought a couple of Brembo standard rotors from Tirerack, but I don't see performance ones from them. halicat I just ordered a set from rotorpros...
i'm hoping they will be here friday so I can put them on this weekend...

I bought mine from him years ago and have loved them ever since. Scot Stern Just a thought. halicat I hope my new ones don't warp, otherwise i will put the stock ones back on...
i'm thinking that the Borla, and the Crue blasting on the stereo will elliminate rotor noise...GRROWL I can't pass up a bargain - just ordered a pair for a total cost of $30.90 including one-day estimateddelivery. The black should look nice. quote:

It comes with a tag stating,"During the first few hundred miles of driving some noise may be noticed as the pads and rotors bed down. This noise will reduce steadily,and around a 1000 miles will be minimal.
By virtue of the way this product works sport rotors with slots will always make make some noise and this is not cause for concern and not a safety issue nor covered by any warranty".obi-wan I make a complete set of front brakes just for Prowlers. They are based on Wilwood components. I supply this complete kit that bolts on very easly with no changes to the car for 1750.oo I also have the s.s.flex lines as a bolt on kit without any cores to exchange for 250.oo if ordered with the brake kit(275.oo seperately ordered).They have professionally polished s.s. fittings on both ends as well as the banjo bolt. Thereis a direct fit adt. with a custom tab so the line directly fits into the cars brake systeem. These are in stock now and ready for shipment. I am making 6 sets of the front brakes now of which 2 are already sold. They should be ready by the end of this month or the very begining of April. They are shown in my catalog. If you want one of the catalogs call me. I need to have several pieces of info. about you and your car for my data base. My catalog is 9 pages long now but more pages will be sent out when they are ready in the future. Call me and leave a message if I'm not here and I'll call you back a.s.a.p.
650-967-3609. I hope I've helped, Obi-Waned monahan Those $ 19 rotors are black, if that matters to you. thomas leuschner ED.
These are black also. I ordered them Friday and they arrived today.
