NudeLobster Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Well I've looked for hours for slotted brake rotors for SQ's, or atleast drilled/slotted for the SQ, and have found nothing. Ive found stock rotors for 13 each, or 4 piston big brake kits for 1400, or ebay drilled, slotted, or drilled/slotted. But none from a reputable brake company. Are there any? at all? If not, does anyone know of a nice ebay set that they can vouch for? By putting a set of brakes on my car, I'm trusting my life with those brakes, so They better be damn good, and not fail on me or warp like some cheap a** ebay set. Thanks -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 The ebay rotors are fine actually just get the zinc coated ones and they won't rust, the coating comes off where the pad rubs but that's all. They are the same rotors you'd buy in an autoparts store. I can't say about "ceramic" pads but those are nasty messy and squeaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dred_85.5_TSI Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I have a set of dimpled and slotted rotors made by Race Concepts (ebay I think) they look just fine and are zinc coated (haven't used them yet). I'd stay away from ones that are drilled through the rotor as I've read they crack easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keving54b Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I have drilled rotors on my starion and they are good, they can take a lot of abuse. If you are not going to race your car the oem rotor stop in a shorter distance. But the little holes look so dam cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 When you get pads, if you want an upgrade I can vouch for Porterfield Carbon Kevlar pads. R4-S (S is for street). They are so awesome I bought them for the wife's car, all around. Using solid rotors though. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I have been using a set of drilled/slotted rotors off Ebay with the zinc coating for about 7k miles now and I love them! Pads are just some run of the mill semi metallics but I can lock up the brakes if need be. So don't be scared of the Ebay stuff, it isn't all junk. IIRC I paid around $300 for the set of 4 with SS brake lines (that I lost somewhere :mad:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creakyjoints Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Jegs carrries Stainless Steel Brake rotors for our cars. They are alot more than ebay rotors but I dont like skimping on brakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 You can specialy request Slotted only rotors from Race Concepts on ebay for no extra charge. Slotted rotors are your best bet for venting your rotors and longevity on the street. I have a complete set of these and they are decent, I'v ran them hard with Porterfield race pads auto-xing with no warping or any ill effects.

NudeLobster Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 alright, well I did a search through ebay and these are the two best I found: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge-Conquest-Mitsubishi-Starion-Performance-Rotor-Set_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5d2412d372QQitemZ400037172082QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_2033wt_950 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CONQUEST-STARION-D-S-Brake-ROTORS-PADS-SS-LINES-PKG_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem35a6cd9ad7QQitemZ230431759063QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_3346wt_1165 I'm thinking the second link is a better store/set. Still can't find only slotted rotors, even on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
860QuestTuner Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I agree on the slotted rotors. You have more surface area and with the standard venting is fine for street. The starion race cars,porches,mercades,audi, and corvette have slotted from factory. I have seen those ebay slot/crossed rotors distort after a few autocross events, but that can happen with any with abuse and heat. To chime in on the ceramic brakes, I have a set of hawk ceramic pads on my rsx and perform surpisingly well. They are quiet and make little mess.

NudeLobster Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) SCORE. found slotted only rotors. Finally. http://www.summitracing.com/search/Department/Brake-Systems/Year/1989/?keyword=conquest Powerslot brand, they have em for 60-110 each rotor. They have different part numbers for only the 87 conquest, why is that? The other part numbers are for 83-89 mitsubishi, and 88-89 chrysler, but why not the 87 chrysler? is there a difference in the 87's? if so, what? also, why do they have one driver side front for 75, then another for 108? I can't seem to find a difference between any of the brakes (except their respected placement), so what makes for the 40 dollar price flex? Edit: the 110 rotors are cryo-treated/finished. but what gives with the different rotors for the 87?

newquest86 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 i bought a set off ebay from a company in canada they are drilled and slotted zinc plated all four cost 150.00 shipped to my door they have been on the car for 1 year now and about 2000 hard miles with semi metallic wagner pads and they are great ! as far as them cracking i never knew anyone who had a rotor crack that was drilled that is why there are limits as thin as you can cut them never go beyond that thats just dumb !

AndyW Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Still can't find only slotted rotors, even on ebay All you have to do is email them before hand and request slotted only. There was no additional charge for the special request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
