What type of rotors?

[Bicho6]

Saw I got my new rims yesterday and now i definetly need some new zinc coated rotors. Which ones do you guys recommend, and is there anything i should know

It depends on what you want to do.
Is this for show or go?

If it is for show then the AEM big brake kit looks nice, and since it uses the stock caliper isn't too expensive.

If it is for go then a big brake kit is overkill unless you do a lot of serious track work. For stock size I got some from Brakezone ( www.brakezone.com ) that are slotted and cadmium plated. Powerslot has some that are supposed to be good too and you can get them from tirerack among other places.

While you are at it I would recomend some good stainless steel brake lines, and upgraded pads as well. Brakezone has the lines, or you can go with Goodridge, and there are a lot of options on the pads. Hawk, EBC, Axxis are just a few of the popular brands.

what color are they ... i don't want to gold or the black ones

[THMotorsports]

Sorry bud, they are black. Since your going show, this is probably one of the only alternatives except for a rotora kit or a stop tech kit which are meant for more of race use than show. You can always just go with powerslot rotors and Hawk HPS or HP+ Pads.

I won't say they don't do anything, but unless you are on the track a lot you probably won't be able to tell.
The main advantage to a big brake kit is fade resistance because they can hold a lot more heat due to their greater mass. They may make you stop marginally quicker, but no matter how good they are keep in mind that the main thing that effects your braking is your tires. No matter how good your brakes are they can't stop you faster than your tires will allow.

cool thanks, I do go to the track every now and then, and will occasionally canyion run. On the last canyon run i experienced alot of brake fade, so i was thinking of changing the pads and rotors. I think i am going ot go with AEM. Thanks
