Well, someting is up with my brakes...i ordered a set of Hawk HPS today for my car, but think a noise that is occuring, is more than just pads. Something is actually digging into my driver side rotor (inside, next to heat shield), I cant find anything upon visual inspection, but can feel back in that area, and feel a decently deep groove. The noise is like a metal on metal contact that is random, but can be increased by turning the steering wheels certain ways when it is occuring. I dont think its a squealer either.

So can someone point me in the right direction where I can get a set of new rotors that are basic (even blanks) like the stock rotors for cheap or reasonable price. This is my daily driver, and I need this fixed ASAP.

 

suprisingly cheap and basic dont go together... i found a set of powerslot from nolimitmotorsport.com cheaper then i found the oem... dont buy used... you'll regret it... nolimitmotorsport is a great vendor as well... cant go wrong

I just ordered from them, so I have no comment on the product. I figured for $305 shipped for blanks and $355 for slotted/dimpled, I was gonna give them a shot. That is for all 4.

 

r1concepts.com is the way to go....they are also seller in this site.

 

I agree, I had good experience with the seller and their products are good quality but inexpensive.

I have both slotted front & rear in my Evo.

 

try StopTech slotted rotors - Either call Vivid Racing or StopTech directly and have them overnight those to you

OR

Get the R1Concepts rotors from Logic Performance. (they're a member here).

I'm on StopTech Rotors. Haven't had a chance to beat on them yet so no comments.

 

stoptech has great customer service and great products

 

Im not worried about performance side of things. If they have rotors at autozone or somewhere for the evo, i will do that. I just want to get my car normal as this car is my daily driver and see's no track time, except maybe the dragstrip once in a blue moon.

 

I had same problem with after market pads, Hawks HPS, Feredo (Spell?) and I even tried the brand new rotors made by Rotopros. Nothing solved the problem. Finnally I turned my stock rotors and put stock pads and all problems disappeared.

 

go with Racingbrakes.com i have them on my car the replacement rotors are excellent. The price is great as well if u contact me i can ship them to your door brand new for a lower price then on the website

 

I have my old rotors for sale (check link in sig). If you're going to get new ones, I'd recommend getting a set from rotorpros (*******************) ... you should be able to get a blank set of rotors (all 4) for $300 or less. I run their slotted/dimpled rotors, and they have been holding up very well with my HPS pads. I've got a review of the setup floating around somewhere on EvoM.

Dude i kow you said you gave them a good visual inspection but it might not be your pads. Get your car on a lift when you go to install your pads and turn the steering wheel . Make sure your caliper doesn't have any free play in it . It could be causing a grove everytime you turn but you would never notice it when your on the straight and level. if your calier has play you got more problems then rotors.
