OK laugh. But has anyone tried these rotors with the eliptical slots(as advertised on TV from Canadian Tire). The idea seems correct but are they up to the job.
Also is there a better pad than Ford for everyday driving.

I like them, have installed a few on ppl vehicles. They also come with some kinda rust coating on them

 

I work for Canadian Tire I am the assistant service manager. Depends on who you ask about them, The mechanics hate them because they cant machine them, but I personally think that they are good rotors, I havnt had any at all come back.

 

only ppl still turning rotors are flat rate techs, everyone else just chucks them..................

 

I know, and I tell these guys EVERYDAY that they should be replacing them but my boss looks at it the same way they do.... More $$ for the shop because labor dollars make more than parts. Stupid as hell IMO. They will even turn rotors on a BIG vehicle like a SUV or something, They tried telling me they were gonna turn the rotors on a new range rover one of my customers has I looked at them and just laughed and they looked at me like I was the stupid one. The only time they actually call rotors is if they are too rusted and cant be machined or they are super thin.

Oh I thought of this one too, Get this, they charge 1.00 hr to change brake pads, and then charge another 0.4 hrs to re/re anchors.. Which I thought you HAD to do when you install pads, So im SURE if they're getting 1.00 hr to change pads then its included in that hour.

 

:laughhard I used to love flat rate, make your 8hrs by noon

 

I work at ctc and i there a nice rotor BUT they kill cheap pads and the groovs rust and look like crap. id say u should go with the "street legal" rotors (also sold at ctc)there a beter rotor and there sloted AND cross drilled

 

I agree.
go with the street legal they are better rotor.

 

I agree.
go with the street legal they are better rotor and cross drilled.

 

Kinda off what the op was asking but I bought a set of drilled (not slotted) rotors and a set of ceramic pads for my 04 when I had it and they were deadly.
I did not realize how bad the stock pads and rotors were until I got the new stuff.

I got the rotors off Ebay for a great price and had no issues whatsoever.

Here is a pic I still have..........
