Front rotor replacement... Posted by Clay McNeely [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Hello, everyone. I'm needing to replace the front rotors on my NG900. My indy recommended cross-drilled rotors so that they wouldn't warp as quickly. Are cross-drilled rotors really better than normal rotors or is it just a personal preference? Any ideas and/or suggestions?
I've found some cross-drilled rotors made by Zimmerman on eEuroparts.com for $140.81/pair. They also have regular rotors made by Zimmerman for $39.94/each and Brembo for $33.98/each. What would be your recommendation? For reference, I'm not necessarily an aggressive driver, but I do quite a bit of city driving (significant amount of frequent braking).
Also, what is the procedure for replacing the front rotors? What tools do I need and is there a step-by-step guide somewhere on the internet? I have a Haynes, but I haven't had a chance to look in it yet to see what type of information they have. Lastly, I suppose I need to confirm that this is a job I can adequately perform myself...I'm somewhat competent in DIY repairs. Thanks in advance! Drive safely, and KEEP ON SAABING!!!
