rotor question

[01silveralero]

i just put on cross drilled and slotted rotors on the front but i need to also do the back ones. i need opinions on what to put on the back. choices are drilled only or cross drilled and slotted. give me ur opinion on which to get. i already find some ones on ebay i been looking at.

i would just put regular ones on the back, they dont do much anyways.

match the fronts! it would be like putting two different sets of rims on the front and rear.

i disagree. the rear rotors are so small as it is and plus you cant really see them with stock wheels. maybe its my function over form ideals.....

QFT..

Actually i have crossed drilled rotors on all 4 corners and my car stops incredibly well in wet or dry, 60% of stopping power is the front but that leaves 40% for the rears, they are as important as the front, have the rear brakes fail on you and see how the fronts will not handle stopping the any vehicle effiecently.

I completely agree. You want to match the front and the rears as best you can to balance the brakes evenly.

I have slotted on the rears and slotted and crossed drilled on the fronts.

My car stops on a dime now, but I will be putting x drilled on the rear in the spring. the rear brakes are 4 years old now, that that's how long the stock ones worked.

IDK about brake performance in this case, but I want the car to look good for ASS this year. I'm fixing a lot of stuff on the car now
