Not familar with that brand. They look just like a product produced by EBC (although, the EBC rotors are more expensive). I've read that several of the Dakota guys don't recommend drilled rotors for fear that they will break. I personally have no experience with drilled rotors on the Dak but I put some drilled and slotted rotors (Baer brand) on my daughters Grand Am last year and they are great! It's only been a year but no problems yet.

For the vehicle you are using, I would just recommend good quality disc brakes. None of that fancy schmancy slotted drilled rotor stuff. I actually have a set of ceramics on my dak.

I have that SSBC brake kit sitting in my room...gotta paint the rotors then I'll be able to get them installed sometime soon.

I was told by a couple people that they liked them alot and had no problems with them. Also very little brake dust.

I'd have the Hub and Outter Edge of the Rotor Powdercoated if you have someone local who can do it reasonable........

Or use the Duplicolor Ceramic Paint..

The Ceramic Pads are a good choice too!

I want to get the best rotors and pads...and keep my pockets somewhat full...lol

I found these. Trust worthy? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e....dll?ViewItem&ih=016&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=260068243248&rd=1,1

Also, if I get DRILLED rotors, will they crack if I beat onthe brakes? I do a lot of hard braking, high speeds, short speeds, cornering...I was thinking only slotted rotors or both slotted and dimpled...I don't know about drilled. Let me know. Thanks guys! :mullet:

Power Slots are a good choice, I run those with Morse Ceramic Pads!

Beware of the local parts store Rotors, they are mostly Cheap China CASTINGS made with left over Aircraft parts melted down! :jester:

I've got EBC sport rotors which are slotted and dimpled and come with a black zinc coating. They are similar to the SP performance rotors. I've had them on for about 5000 miles now and they are a noticeable improvement over the stockers.I got them at Auto Parts Warehouse for $175 a pair. i have hawk pads with them now and am still fighting with excessive brake dust. I think i'll go with EBC pads next.
