Hey paddock people,
Need brake rotors that will last at least a season.
Heres the stats on my brakes
1976 911 5-lug
19mm master
Hawk pads dtc-70 (front and rear)
Zimmerman drilled and rotors
I'm getting tiny cracks around the drilled holes of the rotor. I'm sure the Hawk pads are to blame. Under normal driving conditions I bet these rotors will last a good while. AutoX and Sebring is killing them.
So....any good rotor ideas?
Stoptech and Centric are out there for my 911 set-up. Anyone got anything to say on these or any other advice?

Cool carbon break pads.

You don't need drilled rotors.
Power slotted if you if you want

The drilled rotors were created for asbestos outgassing. Since we no longer have that in our pads it is really unnecessary. The slotted rotors are good but, solid face vented rotors are as well. The problem with drilled rotors are that they are going to crack, it's just a matter of time.

Never used the KFP pads but knowing how Brant uses his car I'd say he's good source for this type of info.
