New Rotors

[odave]

I need new rotors. Stainless Steel Brakes or EBC Sport Rotors?

Just FYI, Drilled and Slotted Rotors decrease brake pad life significantly. Also drilled rotors tend to warp and and even crack over prolonged and heavy use. When you take away material they lose a certain amount of structural integrity and some ability to dissipate heat.

 

I use powerslot rotors and they are simply awesome, but only after a year of having them on my front pads are down to ~25%. They were brand new when i put them on. Pads can cost upwards of $200 even from Napa. I got my pads from GM parts Direct and will probably drive them until i get the wear indicator. Honestly, one of the only reasons I got the powerslots was because they were superior to stock replacements but cost the same. Figured might as well replace with some good American steel instead of some Chinese crap.

 

Go with what hurts less on the wallet. If you going for looks more than anything and cost isnt a factor for you, hell get EBC. Or you could get some steel ones and toss me the rest of the $$$.

Well I checked

 

www.powerslot.com

 

and unfortunately they only have up to 2007 model year. I am not sure if thats for NBS or not. Having new vehicles is kinda double edge sword, they are cool cuz they are new and suck because you cant ever find anything for them. It might take a little research on your part to find out if part number 8657PSL/PSR wikk work for you.

 

PSL=Power Slot Left

PSR=Power Slot Right

Hey, Correct 8657 is the NNBS GMT900 brake rotors. Just did mine on my 2007 silverado.
