Centric Rotors. . .thoughts/experiences???

[atomicjoe23]

Hmmm. . .I had just went ahead and ordered a set for the front; I'm kind of treating them as mock-up rotors really. . .I just need to get the parts so I can mount my wheels/tires, take some measurements, and machine my wheel adapters/spacers.



They save me about a $100 which I'm using to go ahead and buy my new Wilwood master cylinder. . .if they warp after a month of driving that will be unfortunate, but I will be able to upgrade the rotors by then if necessary. Seems to be mixed reviews on them. . .some have had great experiences and others have not; I will have to wait and see I guess.

Right now I'm trying to temper my purchases between getting the vehicle back on the road, purchasing quality parts, and not spending money twice. . .or at least spending the least amount of money twice. I decided to go with the Centric rotors because the next step up in rotors were $100/rotor more and were still one piece rotors (vs. a two piece rotor and hat assembly). . .I don't mind spending the money on the parts, but since I'm planning on upgrading my wheels/tires to 18" in the next year or so to be able to fit the 355mm Z06 front rotors it didn't make much sense to spend any more on the rotors. At this point I'm not even sure how soon I will be driving; I still have to figure out what rate I want for my front sway bar, buy new hard bake lines, upgrade the rear drums to discs, do a little engine work, do a bunch of electrical work, buy and install subframe connectors and maybe a multi-leaf conversion/relocation from DSE with mini-tubs. So it may all be moot point anyway. . .I guess I'll find out.

Once I get everything together I will share how the Centrics do for me. . .the car is gonna be Auto-X'ing with the majority of the road driving just being driving the 25 mile round trip from my house to the Auto-X course and going to a few local car shows.
