Slotted and cross drilled rotor question.

[GHIG'13]

So I bought a set of black slotted and cross drilled rotors for my 2014 Brembo GT. Went to put them on today and the fronts are only 13 1/8",whereas the factor ones are 13 7/8". My question is will they still work or should I just send them back? I really don't like the idea of having 3/8" less rotor for the pads to engage but I could just be over thinking it. Thanks.

I would send them back, less braking surface and you'll get a weird wear in the pads.

Kinda what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure I wasn't being anal. Thanks.

Absolutely send them back. Shelby Performance Parts has a Brembo upgrade rotor.

OP, So what brand do we need to stay away from?

This, plus I would think twice about buying cross drilled rotors that aren't cast with the holes already in them. May look nice for awhile until you start seeing all of the stress fractures.

Ebay rotors?

To answer both question, yes they are eBay rotors. They are $268 dollars for the front and rears. They don't look bad at all but if that's as close as they can get I will not even consider them again.

send them back and tell them you didnt order civic rotors.

LOL, will do just that. Guess thats the price I pay for trying to save a few bucks. Thanks for all the help guys.

There was another guy on here that bought some for his wife's Flex, and from the reviews there are a lit of people with other performance cars, some being heavy ass Challengers who actually track them, and are loving them.

Not to be a dick, and I think you already decided to send them back, but its 3/4" not 3/8". Big difference

You are thinking overall diameter. There will be 3/8" less rotor on each side. Your calipers only cover one side of the rotor, so he is correct that it's 3/8" less.

Hmm they actually show a front for the 13 GT500 too - no dimension details though so I can't tell if they are 15" or not . . . was debating on a 6 piston brembo swap this winter.
