brake rotors

[D1SR240]

For a cheap brake upgrade i'm getting some Hawk pads for my 91 240sx f/b non abs, but i don't know which rotors to buy for the front, any suggestions.

Thnx in advance

The standard rotors will do fine for normal driving. If you want an upgrade for more 'spirited' driving, you can consider a slotted rotor. Try to stay with rotors that remove a minimal amout of material from the rotor.

which slotted rotors would you recommend?

[Grant@tirerack]

I would look at something line the PowerSlot rotors or Brembo Sport slotted.. Both use a very narrow slot that removes minimal mass from the rotor and are coated to resist rust.

how actually do slotted rotors help? and how does cross drilling hlep?and about the powerslot rotors, do they make them for the non abs s13? cause i couldn't find any

cross-drilled and slotted rotors help when your brake pads get too hot and start outgassing. I think that's the word. Anyway, with a normal, flat brake rotor the gas gets between the pad and rotor and reduces your braking effeciency. with slots/holes, the gas can get out.

also, people like to say that drilled rotors cool down better/faster. but with a drilled rotor, there's less overall rotor mass, blah blah blah, warped rotor, blah blah blah.

that's just my knowledge, I could be wrong.

ah i c, does this hurt the pad though?

It will eat pads a little bit faster from experience. But in all honesty it's a good way to go

where are some good places to get the rotors?

It doesn't sound like you paid attention to either side of this problem. Do some research because you are wrong.
