No and they aren't an upgrade

only if you don't think a shorter stoping distance is and upgrade.

They don't decrease stopping distance. To achieve that, you would need BIGGER brakes and rotors...not shiny ones with holes in them.

You can get better stopping power by using better brake pads (Hawk pads) rather than buying drilled/slotted rotors.

Show me anywhere on that website where they say outperform OEM rotors or have data to back it up (ie. stopping distances).

So no, they are not an upgrade...just a show piece. And I will continue to take the advice from people who have actually tested them on a neon under heavy autocrossing and still prefer OEM rotors.

Drilled/slotted rotors also have less mass than OEM rotors...BAD.

A nice cheap upgrade is to use the 2nd gen rotors up front. They have slightly more mass than the 1st gen rotors.

That would be a very good guess.

i'm not going to look for figures just to prove my point. i have never used them on neons but i have on many other vehicles an they have improved preformance. to each his own, form your own opinion https://dodgeforum.com/m_389029/mpage_2/key_/tm.htm
