Im doing the ctsv front brake conversion on my 02. I just had a simple question, what are they best drilled rotors for this application? I will be running the 2010 camaro rotor not the z06. Is there a particular brand that I should look for? I don't want them to rust so should I be looking at coated ones?

Also, anyone in Houston know where I can get the rotors milled?

I just did the ctsv brake upgrade and used these.

I bought them a couple of months ago, and am happy with them. I like the look and they so far are working out well. The best part of this upgrade is that these brakes look great and do not fade at all. You will enjoy them. Just make sure your backspacing/ spacer sizing is correct for your wheel/ caliper combination.

Do a search for "drilled rotors cracking" and decide if you'll run your car hard enough to have to worry about this.

Thanks for the help, I don't think Ill really run into any cracking. Ill be reading about this for a bit though before buying anything.

I used the NAPA Ultra Premium rotors (Which come with the hats pre painted black, which saves time), Quite a few stops from 150 and in general just beat the hell out of them, they've held up great and I haven't noticed any abnormal wear, fwiw

I just did this same mod a few weeks ago. I used the Premium Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotors from brake performance and use Hawk HPS pads.

Here's pics I took of brakes under extreme usage and why you don't want drilled rotors on the car when doing so. This is turn 5 at road america and in this particular corner cars are bleeding off 100+ mph in just a few hundred feet.

if your going for looks go with drilled and slotted rotors but if you want the most stopping power then get some solid rotors. drilled rotors have less meterial then solid therefor the have a lower specific heat and will heat up faster. also they are weaker and will crack at least a little.

hear is the sticky on them
