^^^Go to your local SCCA or Auto-x event and look at the neons there and see how many of them are running drilled/slotted rotors.

 

we don't need to form are opinions....we speak with facts on this....theres probably a few rookies with slotted brakes at a track

 

ok well that saved me some money i was really about to get them!
das and everyone else , u guys are a big help.

 

no problem we try to teach the truth about someparts....like the msd coil pack it dose not do anything but give you a red coil pack....not thad i hate msd their other products kicck ***[8D]

 

I have some 2nd rotors for sale if you want a cheap upgrade.

 

my brakes were worn and the car is w/out abs. in a situation (like in pa when there is suddenly a deer in your path) where i have to get on the brakes hard and quick, i had much more control without the wheels locking up (yeah i know duh but im just saying.) i did decrease my stopping distance, but only noticably because the wheels dont stop turning now when i hit the brakes hard. that was probably just because of the condition of my original rotors though.

i don't race the car, i just drive normally. so under normal conditions i definetly don't notice a disadvantage with these rotors. i have an mtxso i am lighter on the brakes than someone with an atx would be. if these things crack on me during a stop i will surely post and let you know so I can be put in my proper place. for my intentions and purposes im glad i got these. its not a contradiction of est or das cuz the two have provided so much info on this forum its ridiculous and i know we all appreciate it. im just saying to each his own. i really like my neon and im having fun making itbetter imo of what better is.

 

Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking them...but I don't want others to get the impression that they are an upgrade over OEM rotors.

 

thanks for clearing all this up DAS, tomorrow i might order some upgraded drilled and slotted so i can get rid of my stock ones

 

gotcha. which is awesome. the aftermarket is a much more friendly place knowing theres people on here that have the exp and knowlege about these cars and the parts available. otherwise i might have an aem intake right now[:'(]
