I know it's not a need for speed question, but it is performance related. I have been looking at the Powerslot Cryo rotors and Hawk pads. I have heard good things about them, but as most of you know, they are kind of pricey. Anybody have any experience with these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-0...sspagenameZWD1VQQtrksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247? I am afraid these may be a case of you get what you pay for. I'm open to any suggestions on upgrades.
 






I had ordered a set for my 2wd, and they sent a set for 4wd. I ended up selling them to another person and just putting stock brakes back on mine with good pads (EBC Green Stuff, which are amazing BTW). The guy I sold them to said they are very noisy and stop poorly, even with Hawk pads, and he plans to return to stock rotors when he's worn these pads down.
 












i have powerslot (not cyro, figured i dont really need them since i dont drive eccessively fast) on the front only paired with hawk lts pads and "premium" napa rotors in the back with hawk hps pads and they work really well :thumbsup:.. i didnt have the budget for rear powerslots then so i went with that combo.. all i can say is, it's a LOT better than stock.. give it a try/recalculate and see if you can fit it within you budget..

imho, i would not really buy anything performance related from ebay especially for my DD.. might as well spend a little more and have peace of mind..


Goodluck!
