Any experience with Summit Rotors and calipers?

[johnny79]

I'm thinking of upgrading my rotors and calipers on the cutlass. These looked like a real deal. Anyone have experience with them?

Rotors:

the rotots will not fit your car, but they are a good deal I guess

you edited your post after I posted mine lol thats cool but those cost more than the first ones you posted :| and if your putting stock calipers on it then save your money and put stock rotors on it and the best pads you can afford IMO

 

[johnny79]

Same product, same brand, so the part number was off...That's not what I was asking anyway.

My question really is are Summit Brand rotors worth it?

see if you can find out who makes them for summit and then you will know how good they are. Like I was saying earlyer if your running stock calipers then you will not benifit any from the drilled and slotted rotors

So you would say this is just marketing speak:

The cross-drilled holes and slots provide an exit route for gasses and dust, resulting in better heat dissipation and less brake fade under hard use. Other solid-surface rotors allow gasses to create a cushion between the pad and the brake rotor, resulting in poor brake performance. The cross-drilled holes and slots clear away harmful gasses, restoring full pad-to-rotor contact. These rotors are a terrific performance upgrade when replacing your OE rotors.

Also, you would call those Summit calipers stock?

Yes that is what they are for but you will not see the difference on the street with stock calipers and you can not have them turned when they are worn like stock rotors.. and yes those calipers are just powder coated stock replacements...search on here for s10 xtreme brakes if you want to do a brake upgrade that is worth your time and money and you could do it for around the same cost as the parts you have choosen if you shop around....
