The pattern is the same as the Focus SVT front rotors I just installed on my Contour SVT when I did the Warmonger kit install last June. They work fine for me. Look good too.

i have some on my svt and i hate the brake dust that comes with them. im going back to blanks. and mine have seem to wear away fast. the rotors that is.

 

[Big Jim]

Likely that is from the type of pad you are running. I have very little dust. Pad or rotor wear have never been much of a problem for me. The original pads lasted 150,000 miles.

 

[SVTJON87]

holly crap 150,000! i have mintex a/f pads and im gental on my brakes

 

[icysvt]

any recommendations on a good pad and where to find them?

 

[Big Jim]

Talk to Stazi. He sells Bendix at good prices. Bendix makes a very good all around pad. Much better than original equipment but not a racing pad.

 

[icysvt]

I sent him a pm hopefully I hear something soon I want to do new pads with the new rotors and i need rotors bad lol

You'll have to let us know, I thought about purchasing the E-Bay rotors since they are so much cheaper than the ones on like SP Motorsports, but I was unsure of the quality,

 

[icysvt]

Oh trust me if they suck there will be a rant about it on here LOL

I bought plain brembo's and they were custom drilled and slotted by this dude..they came out sick..

 

[Barge]

Well if you're looking at crossdrilled rotors you obviously are looking to save weight in your rotors... go all the way with some 2 piece rotors with aluminum hats.

 

[SVTJON87]

i will say that mine cool off so fast. what pads would you guys say i should use. mine put out alot of dust with the drilled/slotted rotors. i have mintex

 

[LilCe98]

I bought some from ebay. Not from this guy, but they look similar. Hopefully yours won't rust like mine

 

[SVTJON87]

you have to make sure they have the zinc wash

Ya I got some cheapos from the bay too like 1 year ago, turned to crap and rust, these ones you got look pretty decent, if they come like the ones pictured lol. I just had drilled ones, not slotted and drilled. Like I said mine were cheap. Im going to blanks next, you should do these types of rotors at least once just to try em out anyway lol. whats a 100 bucks get ya these days, nada.

If you want good stopping and minimal dust try ceramic pads.

I got a set of Morse(R) ceramic pads from auto zone and they really do work great. I'd agree w/ Kevinm ceramic is the way to go.
