My front rotors are warped and I need new ones. Any suggestions for a 18 Scat Pack?
Slotted, Cross-Drilled, slotted and cross drilled?
Brands?
I did some searching and couldn't find much that's helpful. I know cross-drilled saves on weight and can help with airflow but with heavier cars overheating of the rotor could be an issue because there is less material. Example: I put slotted and cross drilled rotors with ceramic pads on a 2000 Grand AM GT (3200lbs curb weight) and the braking power increased dramatically. I did the same on a 2000 Dakota SLT 4.7l and the braking power decreased a small amount (same brand/type rotors and pads). I'm pretty sure it had to do with the rotors running hotter on the truck, it might also have been from less surface area for the pad to contact, not 100% sure.
I would like rotors that are more durable than stock ones. I'm not looking to improve performance but don't want to lose any either. I know pads are a big part of the equation and I will have to replace them also so suggestions on those are welcome also.
Any one ever used slotted & cross-drilled rotors with ceramic brakes on a Scat Pack before? Would it be best to keep it just slotted with ceramic? Are semi-metallic known to be better for heavier cars like the Challenger?
