ko90ls Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 looking to get new brakes on a 90 ls 400 but don't know which way to go? i want the ss brake lines and am going to rebuild the calipers also. but as for the rotors, i don't know if i should stick with oem or go aftermarket? i haven't yet but am going to upgrade the wheels to 20" and lower the car but the rotors come in regular, slotted, and drilled/slotted? i know form research that the drilled/slotted is mainly for looks and the slotted dissipate heat better, but the general consensus is that the oem work fine. but how about durability? does the slotted actually last longer than oem due to improved design, or is the cooling benefit mainly a racing feature? has anyone used both before and kow first hand? thanks in advance!

SKperformance Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 this has been covered more than a few times in the past month alone about aftermarket rotors. The drilled and slotted discussion is also a long and simple one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
