GM Performance Catalog Durastop Rotors

Are the drilled & slotted ones any good?
Any opinions/experiences?
What kind of pads would work best with these?

Thanks,
Brian

Don't do it. I did, took it to a track event and the front rotors cracked; not heat checked, they cracked all the way through where they were drilled. I suppose that it would stop you in a hurry if the rotor came apart at speed!

Re: GM Performance Catalog Durastop Rotors (Bandit1)

My rotors are fine. My car only has 11,950 on it.
I just have mod fever. :cheers: :thumbs:
I picked up a set of 4 for $432...seemed like a good price.
Should I get new pads to go with them?
I would put the stock ones on if I did a track event.

The Baer cross drilled rotors are garbage for anything but cruising! I just destroyed a set at Watkins Glen a few weeks ago. 100% JUNK! But they looked good!! LMAO

Next set will be slotted for sure! Whats out there anyway?

I have the gm performance slotted/drilled rotors...got them zinc plated before installing to keep from rust fever setting in...~6000 miles and still look great. Dont race em like you say, just for looks, but the looks are great!
