Re: BRAKE rotors
Keep it stock. No need for speacial rotors on an H1. I dont see you heating up the brakes on the twisties or a road course! But, you may be talking about BREAKS I cant tell....  In that case, I recommend the north shore HI, just dont wipe out and get stuck in one of those shallow underwater coral caverns, and dont drop in on any locals.

Re: break rotors
I'm getting to the point where I will need a break job as well, espcially after the rears locked up for a mile or two. I have always advised people to stay away from slotted/crossdrilled rotors. However, this next time I'm going to give the powerslots a shot on the front of my truck.
Steve, I'm sure you have read what HMV8R has written about them on the HML. He swears that his truck stops alot better then it did with standard rotors. With all the added weight of my acc's on my truck I figure I may as well give them a whirl. Hopefully I'll get better breaking after they are installed, if not the hydroboost will be coming out to be sent out and ported.

Re: break rotors
Actually, slotted is fine. Slotted + drilled is bad.
I might do the PowerSlot ones myself. I get bad glazing sometimes on my fronts.

Re: break rotors
Are you just going to put the power slots on the front, or are looking to go front and rear? As much as I would like to put them on all four corners, the cost is a bit high and with how little your rear breaks contribute to your overall stopping power I just cant jusitfy it. On another note, do you think that vented rotors would help prevent brake lockup Steve?
