One more brake question / comparison...

Shiny Red Beast · 01-25-2006, 02:36 PM

I'm looking at the AWE DBA slotted rotors or the Zimmerman sport cross drilled. From what I understand the slotted is prefered but if the Zimmerman rotor is good I would consider it. What do you think?

Are you switching pads, too?

Many people are very happy with their OEM rotors too. What is your planned use?

Also, there is a ton in the archives on slotted vs. crossdrilled.

road. I am changing pads. I'm going with the Axxis Ultimates.

I know a couple of folks who have them and really like them. although their 2-piece rotors get way up there in price. Their normal slotted rotors aren't bad in price.

I see in this post you decided on Axxis Ultimates because of price. Having used both those and the Hawk HPS, IMO you won't see a hill of beans worth of difference with plain 'ol aggressive daily driving.

Also, Axxis Ultimates aren't great from what people here say. __________________ ======================================== My track videos * Brake FAQ * Kenobi lock pump * Kenobi hazard relay * Lidatek install * 43k oil analysis * 51k oil analysis * 60k oil analysis * 68k oil analysis * 76k oil analysis
