    would this be a good brake rotor?
    « on: March 02, 2014 - 06:42:43 PM »
    i would like to get new rotors and saw these and wanna know what you guys think? and i would like to get the firm feel pads to go along with them. Any experience with either pad or rotor?

    I don't understand, what hub do these go on ? In 1973 a Barracuda has a one piece hub/rotor  :dunno:

    I think it's just a generic picture?

    Okay, if that's the case...Do they make a "stock" size drilled and slotted rotor the has a hub as well that would fit a standard 70-74 E Body ? If they do, that would be cool :smokin:

    I got drilled and slotted for the "big rotor set up  ('76-'79 B-body or 79-up R-body St. Regis, etc.)  from them. I also got my current 73 C-Body drilled and slotted from them too.

    Those will work but I bought mine from R1 same as Brad did. Their products are made in US. They are more expensive but the quality is there. Careful of cheap drilled rotors. They may crack prematurely. I went only for the slotted rotors anyway even from R1 because of the same reason.

    They look really good but you need a wide caliper to put these babies on.

    The picture in the link is just a generic picture of a rotor , nothing specific.

    when you buy new rotors dont you have to buy the wheel bearings and bearing cones and put them in the new rotor? and reading the service manual i see that there is a seal on the back side. is there a kit that has everything together to do this at once while im in there?

    IF they are oem spec rotor, you should be able to buy new bearings and seal from your local parts store or online store.
