wills Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 I currently have the cross drilled Zimmerman on the rear and the vibration is getting annoying. What type of vented rotors have you used on the back of a wagon and what are the opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Do you know what size the rear rotors are on the R's? I know they are larger than the others. I am thinking about getting TarOx to make some g88's for the rear if you want in on it. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wills Posted July 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 If they work I'm all for it. I will find out what the size is, it is the OEM dimension rotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blown_volvo850r Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I wouldn't bother going w/ a drilled or vented on the rear unless u really want to. Unless u've got AWD about 12-20% of ur braking comes from the front. I'd just go huge in the front. It wouldn't hurt to upgrade the rear but...I'd rather spend the money towards the front. But that's just me.~Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For cosmetic purposes though vs. cost why cheap out the 20 bucks and not use same style rotorI run the raceconcepts rotors front and rear with no problem of warping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we both have AWD and yes upgrading the rear rotors with veted/drilled discs will help. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wills Posted July 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 That's a neat looking rotor I have sent an e-mail to eurosports to see what they offer.Are the raceconcepts drilled or slotted?BTW the AWD does use more of the rear brakes than FWD. When I bought the car the only replaced parts were 2 sets of rear rotors and 1 on the front! It had 42,000 miles at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blown_volvo850r Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 My bad I meant to say rear...average FWD car gets around 80% braking from the front...upgraded rotors in the rear won't hurt at all...I'm just saying if there's a limited amount of $$ u're putting in, put it in the front. But again, u're AWD...maybe 40% comes from the rear. It's ur choice. ~Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryo108 Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 What I want to know about is the rear rotor on the 2000 R. Wills. Your rear rotors (and mine too) are solid. I have been told that the rear rotors on the 2000 (and maybe 99) are vented. Not gas slotted, but vented. I want to know if this is true. Then I need to figure out if this requires a different caliper and all of the part numbers. Anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can split the halves and make spacers to widen the calipers so you can use ventilated rotors. I did that for my sunbeam. Make sure the spacers are PERFECTLY flat though or else you will have uneven pad and rotor wear and less braking power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
