good setup?

[Guest]

I am most likely ordering new brakes in the next week or so. What do you guys think of zimmerman cross drilled rotors all around and hawk hps pads with rebuilt calipers? This is kind of a spendy setup so I want to know that I am getting my moneys worth. Thanks.

Drilled rotors are garbage. If you do any kind of track time or hard use with them they get small fractures between drillings and warp easily.

Hawk pads are good.

just go with stock rotors

get some ATE Powerdisc if you want something fancy up front

if you get any kind of rotors that are nto solid, get something slotted.

ATE Powerdisc are as hardcore as i am going, I like mine.

Ive got powerslot rotors and Axxis Ultimate pads and love the setup. No need to spend the extra cash on crossdrilled rotors.

P/O put zimmerman x-drilled on my car. They suck im putting blanks back on when my e36 brake conversion is done.

Specifically, why do cross-drilled brake discs suck?

If you want something better than stock, go to Tire Rack and order Frozen Rotors. They have plain and slotted. I got the plain with their Satisfied brand ceramic pads. They stop great, very very little dust, and best of all, I haven't been able to warp them after 15K miles of abuse.

Very nice!
