ilmor Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Does anyone have and/or can recommend these rotors? I want a set that fits within the stock bullit wheels. This looks like a great deal at $299 for a set of four. http://www.blueovalindustries.com/products.php?pid=99013366 Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORSBYT Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Ilmor - I just bought these, they're a STEAL! I'm VERY happy with them. They are OEM size, look fantastic and for the price NOBODY can beat them. You'd better act quick though because I understood there was a limited supply... I also did new pads/lines and I would say this was a considerable improvement over stock. Post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Ok, you convinced me! I placed my order! Next I'll be ordering some Hawk pads also. Who has the best deal on Hawks I wonder? I think I want the HPS+ (some track use). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaise Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 These look like a great deal. Any suggestions on where to get good SS brake lines? I got mine here: Brother's Performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORSBYT Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I got my lines from Brother's as well. They're Stop Tech lines and are pretty good. Stop Tech does nothing but brakes and have a background in racing setups. You can check them out on their website. Interestingly, alof of the SS lines out there are pretty much all the same, just re-branded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig-It Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 These are the same rotors I had installed last summer when my Shelby was at Quantum. I had the Hawk pads and some stainless steel brake lines installed at the same time. I love the new set up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RStangsOC Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Just ordered Mine. I heard about the drilled rotors that they crack easier, is this true? John Depends on whose rotors they are, how many holes they drill, and the process used to cross drill the rotors. When it comes to brake system components, it really doesnt pay to try to save a bunch of money. Ya kinda get what ya pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikesdream Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Ordered mine. I wonder how well they will stop the CS69SEs. I need to keep the smaller dia disc because I race with the stock 18"s and daily drive the 20". I already have Goodridge SS lines an AP fluid. These seemed to be perfect low cost solution for all four corners although they may not look as good with the 20" wheels. Mike SGT#182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtup1 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Just ordered Mine. I heard about the drilled rotors that they crack easier, is this true? John You get what you pay for, any time you go Baer, Brembo big name in brakes your getting your moneys worth. I have had these rotors on my 03 Cobra vert for several years and have loved them. You may want to consider a brake proportioning valve to adjust bias front to rear. When I first installed mine with the SS braided lines it felt like 99% of the braking was done by the front, gained alot of dive. Installed a proportioning valve and everything has been fine. What a bargain on these rotors I paid $600 + for my set up. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORSBYT Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I don't think you need a proportioning valve on a car with ABS? As far as cracking, you do get what you pay for, but I think this would be the case in a race setup, but not a street/occasional race setup. You'd really have to heat them up and often to weaken them to the point of cracking. Look at all the Vette, BMW, Porsche's running with them... If they were THAT problematic the mfg's would have abandoned them a long time ago... Again, street applications are likely not the enemy of slotted/drilled.

If they were THAT problematic the mfg's would have abandoned them a long time ago... Again, street applications are likely not the enemy of slotted/drilled. HORSBYT is correct that a proportioning valve is not required. Automotive companies have to meet Federal Standards for brake efficiency balance before these vehicles are put on the road. ABS systems have been developed to dynamically balance requirements to the rear brakes. There are a number of trade names for this function. Brake balance is tricky for the OE's because is has to assume people drive their cars on all kinds of roads and traction conditions. Weight distribution of the Mustang does put large percentage on the front axle and therefore a large percentage to the front. Putting a fixed proportioning valve in to get more rear brakes would first have to disable the ABS because of it's full time proportioning. If you do disable the ABS and run larger percentage to the rear the vehicle will likely be very unstable in wet or ice conditions. For Race conditions the valve might help. Tracks and races generally like high traction surfaces/tires and dry weather. You still have to be cautious. Too much rear brake and you can swap ends in a heartbeat. So far I have not bought into going for the bigger brakes or the cross drilled in current size as I have not gone on a track with mine. Baer clearly understands the thermal needs of the rotor and would not sell them without knowledge they will survive. All the OE suppliers have high duty test for rotors to determine potential for cracks to start at the fin to plate intersection. Have not seen anything significant in last five years to rotors cracking during thermal stress. However getting rotors hot and driving into deep water is another story.

ilmor Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I've heard about the cracking but it appears that the fears are based on an extremely small percentage of such occurances, so I'm not at all worried about it. In addition, it probably happens to the low cost, poor quality brands if it's going to happen, or in extreme race conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reino Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Took a ride down to Blue Oval Saturday as they are only about an hour and half from my house. After about 15 minutes in Elkton VA I finally located a hole in a wall. I went into the showroom, which is about 20'x15' and placed my order for these rotors. They do have a pretty large warehouse though. I was talking to the guy there as a I was looking about but he did say he acquired these from a company that went out of business who were building mustangs. I wasnt paying too much attention but my wife thinks it was Foose. I didnt realize they stopped building stangs if it was them. I should of been listening instead of looking at the headers on the wall. Anyways after a nice little ride in the SGT I picked up my rotors. Now I need to get the lines, pads, fluid, and hoses for my ducts. I will wait and install all at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These rotors that we're discussing are OEM size and fit the stock calipers and wheels. I've done rotors before; not too hard (more like weight-lifting than anything else, w/ having to remove the wheels / tires), so I hope there isn't anything special about these. If there is, I'm sure I'll have plenty of help here! I'll also be adding hi-performance pads, and someday I'll do the S/S brake lines but not this time.

daytonprowler Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I just ordered my rotors. The Hawk Pads $87 and $67, and Goodridge SS Lines $229 I got from www.autoanything.com. Tire Rack had the SS lines for $142. Autoanything matched the price on the SS lines, and there was a $15 online coupon that I used on the brake pads!
