where did you get them, were they good quality, if you got them from Ebay, was it an individual or a company, and are they worth a crap?

I'm getting ready to order some new ones and am kinda torn over the slightly cheaper ones off of ebay or the more expensive ones off of say PFYC or other sites?

Thanks for the help!!!

I bought Powerslot slotted rotors. So far, they are AWESOME! A little more expensive than OEM replacements, but not by much. I couldnt be happier with the brakes I bought.

Whatever you do make sure you go 12" up front, especially if you tailgate like me


i have powerslots too, never had anything else, they're not bad and a noticeable improvement over stock

I bought some off brands off of ebay from an ebay vendor. I've been very happy with them so far.

As for 12" rotors you'll need new brackets to mount the calipers to. Many kits are available or you can piece it together from a certain range of F body's can't remember off hand right now.

yeah, if I was going with 12" then I'd probably get the F-body upgrade or the Baer eradispeed kit from GMPD

<---- ebay. I've had them too long to remeber who I got them from. I actually went with the cheapest pair I could find. No problems at all and this is something that I would highly suggest doing. You get more of a brake pedal, you don't have to stand on it as much to slow it down.

yeah, I know the advantages, and I'm long overdue for drilled/clotted brakes, just am unsure what one to get, so I need some opinions. I thank everyone that has chimed in so far. does anybody here have an upgrade kit on their cars? if so, how do you like it?

Using stock calipers... Purchase some 12" rotors..... The brackets come of off other W-bodies that come with 12" brakes from the factory.. Like the Monte Carlo.

The F-Body brake upgrade is a 12" rotor with F-Body(aluminum 2 piston) Calipers/Brackets.... Some drilling required to make them work.

Oh, and I don't have 12" brakes, but I've got D/S rotors from Gripforce at Ebay... After 1 winter, they rusted up a bit, but seem to be cleaning up.... I only got them because they look good and a very reasonable price.... Sorry I don't have any performance observations about them.

I do recommend getting zinc coated. They are holding up great to all the road salt.

I bought a full set from an eBay supplier I believe called GripForce. They were $180 for the full set and I added some top quality pads...the difference was phenomenal. I can stand on the pedal and the ABS never has a chance to engage. he car hauls to a stop so much faster you'll be picking your bubble gum off the windshield...they dont fade and wet weather performance is equally impressive. My rotors are two years old now and still look great. Absolutely a fantastic value and a great mod.

so for those of you that bought off ebay, did you get them from this place? they seem pretty reputable and have high feedback, so this is what I was thinking about getting

I got the 12" drilled/slotted from ebay seller Gripforce. I've also got the F-body calipers. Stops amazing.



And there is no drilling required for the F-Body brakes. You use the F-body calipers and caliper brackets. The bolts that attach the F-body brackets to the F-body hubs are smaller than the GP, so you just use a small bushing in the GP hub, makes the F-body bolts fit perfectly. Some people get the F-body brackets drilled/tapped to fit the GP bolts, but I think the bushing method was much quicker.

Also note: All rotors (whatever coating) will get rust on the part of the rotor the pad rubs on if the car sits for a while. The pads are constantly grinding down that portion of the rotor, so no coating will ever protect it. But after a couple miles of driving, any rust on that part will be removed by the pads.

But the zinc coating on my Gripforce rotors has held up great everywhere else, no rust on any other part of the rotor.

i just bought a set of drilled rotors from a parts store around the corner for 160 with pads...havent had a chance to put them on yet...
