Am beginning to upgrade my 2010 GT500 and will start with the brakes. I think you sell what I am looking for but have some confusion that could use your insight to clarify.
My plan is to keep the OEM calipers for now and upgrade the front and rear rotors along with new pads. All with Stillen options. My questions are:
1) You offer both types of rotors: cross-drilled only and cross-drilled with slots. What are the differences? I would think the ones with the slots and holes would be better???
2) You offer both slotted pillar vane “black hat” (more expensive) and another version called "sport":
2.1) What are the differences?
2.2) The black hats are lighter, does that mean they are less durable for long term street use?
2.3) Do both rotor options (black hat vs sport) operate well with the factory calipers? The less expensive rotor write up states it is the best option for stock calipers and the more expensive option does not mention OEM calipers.
2.4) All of these rotor and pad options are under your website’s 2010 GT500 section, but the individual rotor and pad write-ups say they are only good up to the 2009 GT500, not the 2010. Are they all good for the 2010?
2.5) Are any/all of these rotor and pad combinations compatible with the existing/OEM ABS as well as the 2010s new multi-level electronic stability control system? Are they all just bolt on swaps and go?
2.6) Cannot tell from your website, is the price shown for the rotors give you a pair like shown in the picture or just one rotor?
2.7) From the pictures there seems to be in most cases a color mismatch between the front rotor options (silver) and the rear options (golden). Is that correct or do they match in color and what color?
3) Do the Stillen metal-matrix pads squeal and rattle or are they as quiet as the OEM pads? Is their cold operation as good as the OEM pads?
4) Will the FRPP brake cooling kit work with the Stillen rotors and pads?
Thank you in advance.
