Hey guys, I'm picking up a front set of mach 1 brakes today, minus pads and rotors. I'm gonna go with either drilled or drilled/slotted rotors, and probably Hawk Pads. Anyone reccomend a set of rotors that aren't outrageously priced? Ford Racing sells drilled/slotted ones online for like 150 or 200, anything else worth looking at?

I don't know how you feel about Baer, but they have the Decella Rotors for about $200 a pair.

I've had a few friends that have used the hawk pads and they said they will never use them again. I think I remember them saying someone like it was tearing the rotors up?

I would rather get slotted over drilled, unless you get the upper end Brembos, since they're supposedly treated.. Powerslots are good, and they aren't TOO much.. Remember, you usually get what you pay for..

As for pads, Porterfield or Hawks aren't bad.. I bet most people aren't used to Semi-metallic, or fully Metallic pads, since you have to kinda "heat em up," before they start to bite the rotors.. Usually, in the mornings before you drive, you should either ride them for a second, or make a few quick stops.. The pad material actually works better when it's hot...

See, I've been told by one person that drilled are fine for a street car, and are only known to crack under extreme stuff like road racing. Others, like you, say Powerstop are good, which I believe is true. But some say that slotted eat your pads, and some say drilled do. I guess either way your ( or me in this case) paying for the look, which I am, so I really need someone to unconfuse me please.

Also, who has used either Hawk HPS pads or the full Ceramic ones? For a DD what do you reccomend... C'mon people, I'm ordering in the morning.

check that thread out..

I'd debate the whole plain/drilled/slotted rotor things with you guys but it'd end up like that thread.. Interesting read tho.

These are the rotors I got when I upgraded to the calipers that came on the 01 Bullitts which are basically the same calipers with which ponys on them. Anyway, I would recommend these because they're Zinc dichromate plated which keeps them from rusting. And it doesn't matter if you don't like the gold color because most of it is warn off by the brake pad, but the part that comes in contact with the brake pads won't rust either way. Anyway if you can get them for 150 or 200 altogether I would just do that, but I'm not exactly sure if you meant for the price of one or altogether. If you meant for the price of one then I would look around more. Oh and I should warn you. The drilled brake rotors are a little noisy. You can hear the air running through them every time you brake.
