slotted and drilled
 
my freinds dad has a cnc machine and i have a pair of brand new stock routers couls he slot and cross drill them. would they be weekend by doing this to them? would i need specail pads? and dose any one know how deep the slots are?

thanks

the slotted and drilled rotors a re specially treated after the process to stop cracks, the cheap ones are not and they crack frequently. So I would assume doing your own would have poor results, and them being a safety item I wouldn't like experimentation myself

hmmmm what about just cross drilled then? becasue im constantly heating my rotors and warping them dont know y but its happens offten im just looking for a way to maybe decrese my stoping distance and heat with out paying 120 a pice

if your warping them your stopping too hard, try coasting first (aka slow down by taking your foot off the gas), drilling them can crack them, and drilling without the right pattern can make stopping distance greater. What rotors are you using? I have not had a warped rotor on any of my cars in a long time, and use the store brand from advance

Maybe its from curb hopping?

Do not ever drill stock rotors. They are built for integrity, and the ones that you buy pre drilled and slotted havnt been tempered until after thats done to make them stable and as arch said, to prevent cracking. If your warping rotors you should change your driving style, not dynamics of the car.

:speechles no coment

the thing is im not even breaking hard i liven in new hampshire wich is pritty mountanis theres alot of long steep hills. the ones i have are just VIP " professional grade( :rolleyes: ) drums and rotors. i was just wondering because i got them from my frend brand new from when he had a camaro there still in the box. lol my feind sold me valve covers never put on a car , $500 mirroed t tops ( i dont have t tops :( ) new dashboard and complete brakes for a grand total of 15 bucks



what about aluminum pullys ?:eek:

archemedes 11-06-2006 01:46 PM

underdrive pulleys cause alot of issues for little gain. Do you stay hard on the brakes when stopping or do you let up some? if staying hard on them you overheat tehm (we used to call that woman driving since every car that came in with overheated brakes a woman drove)

Now that I think about it... thats 90% accurate lol.

Haha... I don't doubt it...

87RS 11-06-2006 09:42 PM

no i let up and even coast quit a ways its mostly on the long hills i tend to ride them a bit. i somtimes even down shift my automatic. how do under drive pullys cause a lot of probelms? i thought they where one of the easier thing s to do.

archemedes 11-06-2006 09:55 PM

they make the water pump turn slower (making it less efficient) and the alternator turn slower (meaning less voltage, meaning less spark and less power)
