What Rotors?

ok i bought some drilled/slotted rotors off Ebay from R1concepts and ever since i got them they have been a pain in the ass. my first pads SEMI METALLIC lasted 3 weeks. new set 2 weeks....anyone had this problem? my rotors are screwed. So now im forced to buy a whole new set up. Can anyone give me a recommendation that works.

First recommendation is to get ceramic pads. They are much better....then make sure you didn't warp your rotors...and by the way semi-metallics eat rotors thats why they are only 20 bux at autozone.

those rotors off ebay are crap, there drilled after they are formed, which weakens em some. ceramic is the best route

I run crossdrilled with carbon metallic pads and they work great! and i'm not an easy driver so they have to handle alot of abuse.

Power slot II in front (slotted and dimpled)
Power Slot in the rear (slotted)

Ray's pads from PFYC

are your rotors on backwards!?

cause mine are pointed the opposite direction of yours, just like ken's. but his rear ones are going the opposite way of his front ones what are yo uguys doing?

my mistake, but what about jabartram?

[jabartram]

^^^^ thats the way i decided to run them?

[-Alero-]

^ o cool, so does it matter which direction they go? if not thats awsome!

[Redog]

No they are directional

then............... :huh?: :huh?: wtf? :wah:

[jabartram]

I did some searching and all the pic's i found of drilled rotors installed they are rotating forwardcross drilled and slotted on GTO

Vette rotors, so i think mine are ok.

[-Alero-]

what about me and ken? are we just plai nf***ed? lol

[jabartram]

i don't know, i checked pics of rotors before i installed mine, thats why mine are rotating forward.

powerslots pattern is opposite most other slotted rotors i believe. I had baer slotted up front and powerslots in the rear and it looked ott cause the powerslots LOOKED like they were spinning backward or wrong but they arent.

Be kinda impossible to put em on backwards

the only way the backwards thing could be a problem is getting left and right mixed up, did they come labeled?
