    Since the never ending group buy on club3g is a wrap.... Im need some websites that you guys purchased your pads and rotors from. Also who is better with Rotors?? Powerslot or Bremo?? Any Suggestions would be grateful

    ebay - iRotors

    They're CNC slotted and cross-drilled from Brembo blanks. The pads are Axxis Ultimate Ceramic, which stop very well, but make a lot of break dust.

    powerslot and brembo both make nice rotors.

    beware of fakes, especially with brembos. real brembos have the logo stamped into them.

    also beware of rotors that were machines outside of the factory. many people take for example brembo blank rotors and then slot them and drill them and dimple them. also note that brembo makes drilled or slotted rotors, not both.

    rotors from a good company (such as powerslot or brembo like you are considering) are solid

    when it comes to being better, the slotted have a more logical design- typically 6 slots around the rotor as compared to a large number of drilled points which therefore have a slightly lowered structural integrity. performance-wise you should see no difference in the results from either style of rotor so don't worry about that, i'm just giving you my suggestion and using knowledge i've gained from others.

    what I think you should buy-

    Brembo or Powerslot Slotted Rotors

    Hawk Pads

    where from? I know ptuning.com has the powerslot rotors and TGC receives a 5% discount on there (code: ptgalantctr)

    I am not sure who carries the Brembo for a decent price but do not purchase them from ebay

    Pepboys carries Hawk Pads (HPS, High Performance Street I believe) they are ceramic and will last many miles and are actually the pad Powerslot recommends if you end up going with those.

    alright back to the party, hope my info helps ya stop haha
