wilwood only makes fronts
bear does front and rear but be prepaired to pay about 1800 for both. their cross drilled and slotted
ssbc also makes front and rears and are cheaper. probably arohnd 1200-1300 for both. they only come slotted though.
or you can buy a front kit and do the neon rear swap, which is what im doing

all i want is slotted. why buy a front kit only and do the neon rear swap?

the front brakes do about 80% of the braking. its better to do the neon swap then leave drums in the rear

so only ssbc makes slotted rotors? or would a wilwood brake kit slotted/drilled be okay to run.

reason why i ask is because people say the drilled aren't dependable for our cars

i'll prob do the neon swap and get a big brake front kit

its whatever you want. i have the baers in the front which are cross drilled and slotted and they seem to show no sign of wear or cracking

As far as the drilled vs slotted conversation goes, check out this thread in the Suspension forum.

thanks all for the info everyone.

FstCavZ24, how are the Wilwoods and GT rotors for you?
i am really leaning towards Wilwood anyway. but i'd like to hear from someone who has them.
thanks

I beat the ever livin' piss out of mine and they've held up awesome. The GT rotors are the ONLY way to go if you are hard on brakes. I have over 30,000 very hard miles on mine and they show no signs of wear.

You can do this kit and specify GT rotors for the same price. Wilwood front brake lines are NOT included and are REQUIRED.
