Just be aware that drilled rotors are a lot noisier.

Just be aware that drilled rotors are a lot noisier.

IIRC, Ron Wester is running the Hervey drilled rotors on the Screaming Yellow DeLorean.

Ron has commented they work well, but they are significantly noisier than stock rotors.

Not on my DeLorean, but my Corvette and my Elise have drilled rotors. Very noisy. Plus, drilled rotors are prone to cracking. Slotted are a much better choice, imho.

for the responses.. so would it be better just to stay with solid rotors?? i dont think anyone makes slotted ones for the d.

Unless you drive and brake aggressively, I see no point to drilled rotors in this application.

I do drive pretty agressively.. I have Dpis cams and the european exhaust so I have fun with it!

[painterdave72]

so which rotors has anyone used?? everyone cant still be on original rotors can they??

There aren't many choices and they are all custom so most are using stock rotors. Since the Delorean isn't that heavy a car the brakes are adequate unless you are tracking the car and braking very aggressively.
