Ryan_V Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Please click the below link for payment details. I will start a list of PAID people as we get them. http://www.starquestclub.com/index.pl?boar...2538531;start=0 I've talked to Brian at wholesaledirect and although they can't get us BREMBO rotors he can get us POWERSTOP at a very big discount. ;D Still $170 shipped!! Updated list of potential buyer's. Stake your claim now! 170 shipped and cadmium coated! Cadmium coating is the finest most durable coating available for rotors. These rotors will be GAS SLOTTED only! I have learned that the benfits of gas slotting and cross drilling come at a price. You will lose 11% surface area by cross drilling. If the rotors are slotted you will only lose %3 percent of the surface area. I have been told by two different people that cross drilling should be only for show cars and lightly driven cars. Our will be gas slotted made by POWERSTOP and cadmium coated! One heck of a deal!!! Front and rear are VENTED We'd have to buy 20 set's but they'd give us a heck of a deal. Normally the set goes for $400!! You know you've been wanting some sweet new rotors to stop that heavy car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_V Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I'm negotiating the price with the whole sale guy. He wanted to know how much we'd pay for 20 sets. I told him I have no idea and that we just will need a sweet deal to do 20 sets. These are actually BREMBO brand , not the cheap crap The GP will be for a set of four BREMBO rotors front and rear You can actually buy these off EBAY now but we can get them alot cheaper this way. The seller has over 476 positive feedbacks as well Thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusky Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I'd just be interested in a set of the rears. LMK if that's possible. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Is it just me, or do the rear ones look like they're not vented? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_V Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Is it just me, or do the rear ones look like they're not vented? Â ??? interesting observation. Those aren't the same one's we'd get. That pic basically show's you the finish they come with and that they are slotted and drilled I'll find out pricing later today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Betty Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I may be interested in them. After X-Mas may be the best for me. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I'd be interested in a set of vented rears if the price is right... (not interested in front rotors or the cross drilled design). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_V Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I'm finding out if the rotors for our car's have the rear "vented" design and if we can get them with just gas slotting whihc would be better for wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_V Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Price would be $170 shipped These are BREMBO brand made with brembo blanks I'm waiting to hear if they have vented rears $170 shipped is killer though considering shipping four rotors is 40-50 bucks these are only costing $130 bucks a set!!!!!!!!!!

phishfud Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 If thats the case, and the rears are vented, then it sure sounds good to me. Keep us posted. Thanks. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsi1987 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I would be in for a set if the rears are vented ;D also any idea on when gp would end ??? thanks michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBaller Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I'm down. When will this GP conformed? Is there a list or is this to gauge interest? When does the GP end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_V Posted December 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Well this is the "interest" post and I'm still talking with the seller. He doesn't know if they are vented. Does it really matter that much since they are slotted and cross-drilled?? I've already asked him to try and confirm whether or not, but I wish someone could give me a definitive answer why the rears being vented makes a difference. I thought the slotting and drilling was for more advanced cooling?? We have 6 people who have posted and maybe more who are interested but haven't posted and we'll need 20 total set's sold so we have a way's to go. I might try and involve other car groups in this because he has these for all makes and models. Thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhunter Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I'm down for a set. I was gonna pay 214+ for them on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 See what I started? ;D I only mentioned it because the stock ones are vented front and rear.. Which helps alot with cooling, the slotting and cross drilling are more for better braking, due to more surface area, allowing a better 'bite' into the pads... I would also expect a vented pair to last longer, with less chances of warping(the vented ones are technically braced, and the others and just..ummm, normal I guess..even though I haven't seen non-vented rotors for awhile, i'm willing to bet vented ones are stronger..).. Cracking is also a concern with drilled rotors, so i've heard anyways.. I'm sure Brembo has done their homework.. Speaking of Brembo, can these be purchased through Brembo directly? We'd definately get all the answers then... Or even just talk to them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Here's a quote from avalonracing.net(yahoo searched it ;D).. "Cross drilled rotors were designed with the intent that cool air would pass through the rotor to help reduce the heat deflection through the rotor. An interesting fact about (all)"vented" rotors is that they pull air from the center of the rotors and allow it to pass in an outward direction. By cross drilling the rotors, you can achieve more cool swept area of the rotor and pad while sweeping the pad and rotor surface at the same time. This is very beneficial for performance and daily driving. The cross drilling also makes the rotor surface more aggressive to give a better initial bite under heavy breaking." "A slotted rotor will have a higher thermal thresh hold but can still fail. One of the most overlooked reasons for brake failure is mismatched pads and rotor combination. With out the correct combination, your performance level could really be at risk as well as your safety. " "Just because a rotor is cross drilled does not mean that it is at risk to fail or crack. Many manufacture's use different methods to help prevent rotor failure. One such method is to radial chamfer each gun drilled hole in the rotor surface. This as you may recall from physics class makes the edge stronger. (a curved surface is stronger than a flat one). By doing this you also make the rotor more aggressive with out making them more abusive toward the pads. This also allows for more air surface for cooling. Slotting the rotors is generally intended to pick up where cross drilled rotors leave off. They tend to have a higher thresh hold to heat there for enabling the brakes to function at much higher temperatures. By slotting the rotors you create "sweep" for the pads. At high temps cross drilling becomes non effective. Rotors can't pull air through after extreme temps. The rotor actually becomes a heat sink. As the cross drills become non effective, the slots can sweep the gas pocket out. For a real world example, look at "real race" cars. Mainly, road race cars such as Trans Am, IMSA, and CART will exclusively run slotted rotors with very aggressive pads. While many teams have their particular love of brand, they all have the same basic function. One must also realize that when operating a performance system, there will be a trade off in the system some where. Generally performance street systems are designed to compromise the pads life with added braking ability. By doing this, one can expect certain "better" braking while not sacrificing the life of the rotor." Here's a good article aswell... And another...

Ryan_V Posted December 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Thanks for the info man This just in! He can get them vented or non-vented!! We're planning to talk over the phone sometime this weekend so we can work out the details. We need more buyers! I just had an idea! Why not include austarion.com as well?? He should be able to get their 4 lug rotors as well Thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdodge01 Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 After the new year I could probably get in on this, but no sooner than then. Gonna have to work a LOT ov overtime this year ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zer0fist Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Does it have to be Starion rotors? I wanted a set for my GSX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_sandman Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Count me in as a strong possible. I do need new rotors all the way around. I would prefer vented all the way around. Don't care much if they are slotted or cross drilled. 170 shipped is darn good, Could normal ones be cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_V Posted December 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Does it have to be Starion rotors? I wanted a set for my GSX I'm sure I could set that up Could normal ones be cheaper? I don't think they could get any cheaper cross drilled or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
