Need slotted and cross drilled roters & Steel braided lines... What brands should I be considering here for roters (Baer, Willwood, etc.?)
I will be keeping the stock calipers. It gets too expensive.
Thanks.

Re: Need slotted and cross drilled roters & Steel braided lines... Also, Can I get rotors that are bigger in diameter than the stock ones and still use the stock calipers?

Re: Need slotted and cross drilled roters & Steel braided lines... Brand depends alot on the quailty, process of making them and the cost.
Yes you can get bigger rotors and still use the stock calipers and the only kit I know that allows you to do this uses C5 corvette front rotors (12.8" dia) and you need to get the LG Motorsport G-Stop kit.
Comes with adpater bracket, mounting bolts..etc

Re: Need slotted and cross drilled roters & Steel braided lines... I really like my Baer Eradispeed rotors. They look great and coupled with EBC Green Stuff pads provide great braking. The Eradispeeds also say they are guaranteed not to warp on the box.

Re: Need slotted and cross drilled roters & Steel braided lines... I had MTI put Bare Eradispeeds with Hawk pads on and they were about the first or at least very early available ones. There is about 20,000 miles on them now and they've been great. The only down side had been some light squeel in slow stop and go traffic. It has since gone away and all I can attribute it to is taking a long time to break in the pads with street duty only. I'd get them again but would stay with a different pad for street use. Recently there has been alot of good reports on the green stuff pads.

Re: Need slotted and cross drilled roters & Steel braided lines... I've just fitted a set of Baer Eradispeeds with Greenstuff pads and echo the earlier views that they look great and have improved braking.
A couple of comments/oberservations:
- I didn't have any problems with squealing (I used "anti-squeal" copper lube which comes in a tube) I did get a little grinding (as the car came to a rest under braking) for the first 50-100 miles as the pads bedded in.
- the Greenstuff pads are great but do dust a fair amount (a lot more than stock) - in fairness I suspect this is due to the slotted and drilled rotors.
In terms of braided brakes lines, I bought a set during a recent trip to the US from The BrakeCo (ask for Mark - really helpful guy). Their contact details are:
2531 w 237 st unit#127
Torrance,CA 90505
Tel-888-428-7278 or 310-530-1243
Fax-310-530-9014
info@brakeco.com
I have ASR (traction control) so had to buy the 6 line set @ $130(as opposed to 5 line set).
I haven't fitted them yet as I read in the Haynes manual that if you have ASR the brake system needs to be bled using specialist equipment - I posted here for additional info but had mixed replies on whether this was the case. You obviously won't have a problem in the US as you can pop along to a Chevrolet dealer or specialist - not quite so easy in the UK but I have found a local company and hopefully in the next few weeks they'll be on.
Hope this post helped.
