RSM Front / Rear Slotted Rotors

[SilverGA2001]

Well, I know I'm due for new rotors. I was also thinking if anyone else was, we could see if there was interest in a group buy. I emailed RSM, and the reply was "it can be done, let us know the details".

So do we have interested parties?

[00SilverGA]

I am interested just let me know!

[nice96gt]

We just did one a couple months ago and it was very successful. Good luck with this one! :)

Alright, that's 1 other person.


Anyone else?

[bp's97GAGT]

I might be interested if the price is right.....my rotors are warped and have no material left to turn them:s

I'll have to email them and ask how they'd want to handle this. The 99+'s get a different part number then the 97.

As it stands right now, there's not enough interest it seems. I'll keep checking back though.

[FiFdYnUtZ]

i might be interested depends on price

[slowbird]

Any new development on this?

I'd be interested.

[Rayz]

I am interested just let me know. how about ceramic pad also?

[jygga2002]

Im interested

[99GrandAMSE]

... I believe they have a GOOD DEAL "all the time" now ... take a look and if you still want a Group Buy, I can contact them and see what the limitations are ;)

[bp's97GAGT]

Let us know...

Get ahold of them then. When I emailed them for info, the price was/is 60 each on their website. He didn't say what they'd be for the group, because we didn't know how much interest there was. I'd still like to see if we can bring that down some more. :)

[InsaneSkippy]

I might be interested.

[99GrandAMSE]

$60 each is what we paid as a group last time, IIRC ... personally, I think that is a decent deal but I will ask and see what they say :)

I'm just thinking that since they list at 60 apiece on the site, that a group buy would be pretty useless if we still pay 60 apiece. ;)

... yeah, but what I am saying is when we had our Group Buy last time, they weren't $60 each on the site ... I think they were something like $75 :)

[TTT]

Im very interested.
just wanna know the price.

[99GrandAMSE]

... talking to RSM now to see what they can do :)

[99GrandAMSE]

OK, RSM is willing to do another Group Buy :) I'll post details shortly :)

[99GrandAMSE]

OK, here is the information ...


http://www.rsmracing.com/Lrg_Images/sltrot.jpg

Minimum 10 pair (front or rear, doesn't matter)

$45US per rotor ($65.00CAD per rotor), plus shipping.

All rotors will NOT shipped until AFTER November 14th being RSM will be closed between October 26th to November 14th.

All Grand Am bolt patterns are avalable.

Once we have enough interest covering the minimum of 10 pair, the various factory contact information will be provided so each individual can get in touch directly with RSM and provide their specific payment details but the money will NOT be taken until the units are shipped.


... if you have any questions, post it here or contact me directly :)

[slowbird]

Sounds like a plan.

Will they be plated or coated at all?

[99GrandAMSE]

... they are not plated, to my knowledge but they are definately cast steel and work and look great (I have them all the way around :D)

[BigBoi]

That was a typo on my part ... I fixed it now ... basically, when we have enough interest (10 pair), I will post who to contact and then it will be the responsibility of each member to contact RSM and arrange for payment and when everyone has contacted them, the rotors will be made/shipped and THEN, you will be charged (assuming you will be using a credit card :D)

[SilverGA2001]

Side note. I've not had dealings with RSM before. What's their shipping arrangements, costs?

[99GrandAMSE]

... when you contact them, they will tell yu want the shipping charges will be and from my experience with them, they are very reasonable!!

Right-on. Got it now. I figured that's what you meant, but I just thought I'd check. I'll try to spread the word, so we can get this done.

[99GrandAMSE]

... BTW, I was involved in buying these during the last Group Buy and the rotors are great!! :)

[00SilverGA]

I am still interested. Put me down for a pair

[slowbird]

I will most likely be in but I won't commit until I hear back from another company.

They might be able to get me Cadmium Plated rotors which I'd like better than slotted non-platted.

But I'll post my name right away if I don't like what the other guys are selling.

Need 2 more pair now :)

[DrFabulous]

Kelly, if we got more than 10 pairs, would they drop the price more?

[99GrandAMSE]

They didn't say but I "highly" doubt it being the price is fairly decent as it is :)

[DrFabulous]

Oh, I agree. The price is very nice. I would get a set of rears as well.... but I don't plan on doing a disc swap for another year or so. :(

Bump, I guess. :lol:

[SilverGA2001]

I'd do rears as well if: They were cheaper then the fronts. Why pay the same for rear brakes? The rear aren't even vented.

and

I don't really wanna spend the extra cash at the moment. Fronts are a must, but the rears are tolerable for now.

[99GrandAMSE]

... no, they are not vents but they have a centre section that is heavier and thick to accommodate the emergency brake :)

[Bumpin1OHM]

im thinkin i might be in for some. i have a 97 gase with the stock 14" rims, these are guaranteed to fit perfect right?

[99GrandAMSE]

... all pre-99 GAs have the same bolt pattern so you should have no problem!

[Big Joe]

This is pretty tempting at the price but I am so broke right now

[DrFabulous]

It's $100.... you can make that in about 2 days worth of work, even if you have a crappy job like me. I picked up a couple shifts this week to cover the cost of them.

[InsaneSkippy]

After I get some other mods, I'll see how much cash I have left over, if I have enough I might get some.

[DrFabulous]

I personally think having good brakes should be put before having much else, at least in terms of performance mods.

[SilverGA2001]

We're short 2 pairs right now? Come on guys, spread the word. :D

[XoticGA]

Soooo... I'd prolly need 4 right? I mean.. 2 seems kinda silly...

should i or shouldn't i.....i just got me new rotors (plain ones) cause my drums were going bad (did a drum - disc)....man, this sucks....

If you're like me, and drive like me, you can't ever have enough rotors sitting around. :lol:

[Grand_Damn]

tomorrow i'll give my answer (most likely it'll yes - 2 front & 2 back)...i just gotta think about it (moneywise)

... not silly at all ... the only problem is that you won't feel the FULL benefit until you have them all done :) ... for interest sake, if you do only two, make sure it is the front :)

... it would be best but again, you can use your old ones ... you have to remember though your old pads MAY wear out faster due to the slots so keep an eye on them being they're not new ... the other train of thought is that since you are there you might as well change the pads too if you have the cash :)

[99GrandAMSE]

... and with that, we now have our 10 sets ... WHOOO HOOOO :woohoo:

Anyone else?!? ... I think we should give it another week or so before we close this off, what does everyone think?

waitting a week okay with me I'm not in a hurry.

[SilverGA2001]

Bah! Our rear brakes suck ass anyway. At 50,000 miles I still have more then half the original pad left. Yet I'm on my 5th set of front pads! The rear don't deserve my money. :lol:

I think about a week, IIRC.

I just bought some for my car off of e-bay and they were only $90.00/ set and that was with the shipping price, pluss I got to choose what style of groove I wanted. Straignt groove or curved groove, I dont think it realy matters as far as performance so I just went with what looked better. They also offered Zinc plating for another $15.00

I still think paying the extra to have them shipped from RSM is worth it, considering that you can be sure of the quality and such.

Why did you chip in with this tho? Trying to get people to back out of the group buy???

Yeah you can never quite trust e-bay stuff. For all you know they could have ripped them off an old GA, and just re-surfaced them.

From RSM we know we are getting a quality product.

You guys dont really know to much about ebay then because there are allot of good, actual companies that sell on ebay, just to exspand their market place and get some free advertizing. Yes you have to beware of who you buy from but it just takes alittle time to do the research and you can save some money. I can tell you the roters I got were good quality, why would I even mention it if they wern't. No I'm not trying to get anyone to back out of your group buy. I was just wasting time reading some of the threads to maybe learn something new about my car. Thought I'd be nice and let people that might be on a buget know you can get some good deals on ebay if you know what to look for. Thats all no reason to get all bent out of shape over it.

[DrFabulous]

^^^ Um, if people are on a budget, they shouldn't be modding their cars. Besides, if you buy the eBay ones, you save.... $15 or so? I think paying the extra little bit to support a company that supports this site is worth it.

No one was getting bent out of shape over it. We just don't mind paying the extra 15-20 dollars or whatever for a product we know is coming from RSM. :)

That is such a stupid comment. I know people that make over 60 grand a year that still have a budget. And um Dr. Fab if your doing so well for yourself that you have no budget then why do you drive a Grand Am. Don't get me wrong GA's are nice cars for the money and a person can do far worce, but if you have no budget then whare is your Porch or Viper or Vett or whatever car you desire and don't tell me a GA is at the top of your dream car list. Not to mention but you save not just a total of 15 bucks you save that much per Roter and save on shipping so you save like 60 - 100 on a full 4 piece set. And with the high gass prices right now it's nice to save that much. Pluss why would anyone be in on a group buy at all, if there is no saveing money of any kind, why not just by them yourself.

[XoticGA]

Soooo... when do we start sending in money? :D

If you aren't interested in the GB, please don't participate in the thread. Let's get back on-topic, people. :)

[Dave C]

so do we have a deadline to get in on this group buy? I would like to get these but I am still sittin' on the fence...

That is such a stupid comment. I know people that make over 60 grand a year that still have a budget. And um Dr. Fab if your doing so well for yourself that you have no budget then why do you drive a Grand Am. Don't get me wrong GA's are nice cars for the money and a person can do far worce, but if you have no budget then whare is your Porch or Viper or Vett or whatever car you desire and don't tell me a GA is at the top of your dream car list. Not to mention but you save not just a total of 15 bucks you save that much per Roter and save on shipping so you save like 60 - 100 on a full 4 piece set. And with the high gass prices right now it's nice to save that much. Pluss why would anyone be in on a group buy at all, if there is no saveing money of any kind, why not just by them yourself.

Where do you get $100 in savings??? The RSM ones are $90 for two, plus $15- $20 for shipping, the eBay ones are $90. That's a $15-$20 difference. For a set of four, thats a $30-$40 difference.

When I say budget, I mean mean someone that is watching every dollar, living paycheck to paycheck. If that is the case, why would you spend money on your car like this? I am doing well for myself, thank you. I just got done talking to my local Pontiac dealer about getting a 05 GTO... I could afford it if I really wanted to, but I don't feel that I need a car like that at the age of 20, especially in college. But that's a different subject.

Thank you, have a nice day, back to the great deal a sponsor was willing to give us.

[SilverGA2001]

yikes... :???:


I'm guessing this won't end til the 14th or so, since RSM is closed til then. No sense closing the GB til we can actually turn the order in? Then again... I could be wrong. :)

[2K SE]

Never heard of them locking a GB thread. But they could. Let's keep it civil cause I really need these rotors and would hate for someone to ruin it for everybody. $.02

[sunrunner_pei]

Not to worry, we wouldn't allow a GB thread to be ruined. Worst case we would clear out the off-topic posts. :)

OK, back on topic, everybody! :)

[XoticGA]

Ooo.. if RSM doesn't open up til the 14th.. I think I may get the back back ones too :)

16 pair ... holy brake rotors Batman!!

[MantaGreen97]

Okay just to be clear, these rotors are not plated and RSM doesn't offer plating or powder coating either?

[XoticGA]

plating? :???2:

[slowbird]

Yea...Zinc or Gold Cadmium Plating.

I helped resurrect this GB but then jumped shipped when I found a place that did the coating and yadda yadda yadda.

[99GrandAMSE]

OK ... thread cleaned a little to make it easier to follow; however, these rotors are not plated or painted ... my PERSONAL recommendation is the owners should either have them plated or paint them prior to installation (advise which would apply to any rotor, to be honest) ... anyway, carry on :)

Planned on it. :) A nice satin black hi temp. weeeee.

[Night Wolf]

Why do rotors need to be powder coated? what does it mean/do?

Did GM use the same rotors on all their cars? I wonder if they would fit the front of the '93 DeVille... then again the wheel bolt pattern or whatever is differen't.... my rotors are kinda warped, just figured if I could get these cheaper, then it would be a good deal :)

[DrFabulous]

These won't work on your caddy, sorry. They use different brakes for different cars most of the time, unless they are the same platform.

not to be a pain, but when is this ending? My rotors are needing replaced fairly soon here. Stupid cheap OEM rotors anyways:-/

[XoticGA]

You're always a pain :P

[red98grandamse]

Ya know, once I saw that you replied, I didn't even have to read this to know it would be some wise-ass pointless remark..:p

So do you have any USEFUL info for me Trish dear, or are you just going to be a pain in my butt tonight?

[XoticGA]

Meh... I could be useful... Providing you're deserving.. but since you're not :P


I will just be a pain in your arse :P
Hit me up on YIM so I can yell at ya :D

[Baugh080]

It says that in the post with all the info for the group buy

[bu01]

:igiveup:

[c3hp0]

Might be interested in 2 fronts and 2 rears, but have to wait until middle of next week to decide whether 0, 2, or 4. Can you put me down for all 4, then I decide at time of purchase or can you wait to hear from me until mid week?

[Dave C]

are they going to drop the price anymore since there are so many sets ordered? if so, I'd reconsider joining this group buy.

[XoticGA]

Nah... IIRC 45 is it.. :)

Ok guys,

The group buy has now officially ended. You will need to email nelson@rsmracing.com by Friday November 18, 2005 with your screen name, as well as all your other contact info (Name, address, phone, payment) Vehicle Info, and the type (front or rear) and number of rotors you ordered. If you haven't emailed by Friday the 18th you will not be included in the buy. Nelson will inform you on the rest of the details when you e-mail him. Please put in the subject line rotor group buy since there is another group buy happening for strut tower braces.

Thank You

Alright, I got a question about coating. What kind of place would be able to zinc coat them? I really don't want them rusting in a couple months.

Still no reply to me either, I've sent it twice now. Like Paul I'm hoping we don't get left out on this. I really need new brakes.

Just sent for the third time.

[TO2FST]

Just want to give everyone one last heads up.

Today is the last day to confirm on the group buy. The reminder is you have until 4pm EST to email nelson@rsmracing.com to confirm. The following people are still outstanding:

[GT2000]

Huzzah! I just got my call from RSM for payment!

Hey Frank, would it be possible to tell whoever I talked to that I apologize if I sounded rude or anything at all. I was barely awake, I was asleep and my dad shoved the phone in my face and said its for you.

... yep :(

[SilverGA2001]

I would have to say that it's somewhat their own fault as to why so many orders have been lost from the group buy. I sent 2 emails, got 0 replies for more then a week. Many others also had to send 2, even 3 emails. After a certain point, it became unnecessary and frustrating. Then it's been a slightly busy time here for many with Thanksgiving, and I'm sure that waiting on an email from someone that's already ignored you for a week was not a priority. Not sure why they dropped the ball on this one, but I probably won't seek out any business with RSM again I believe.

[Rich]

well i guess as long as we still got the appropiate amount of people and still got the good deal, its good for us.

[bp's97GAGT]

Anyone here anything on their orders yet??? I was charged for them but have not received any info about when I will receive them.

[bu01]

i got chargded also but have not recieved a tracking number yet

[GT2000]

Same, when I talked to them though, they said they were still trying to contact some people, I'm sure everything will go through soon.

[TO2FST]

Just wanna let you guys know the rotors will be going out this upcomming week. We've been having a bit of issue with UPS's software and they're sending a new version out to see if thats the issue.

Thanks
-Frank

[Rich]

any word on when these will be sent out?

[TO2FST]

I saw them boxed with UPS labels at the shop, I think they've gone out, or are scheduled to

-Frank

[red98grandamse]

Just got mine about 20 minutes ago:D they's lookin good:):)

[2K SE]

I have been waiting on a tracking number. Guess the rotors would be better. lol. Hope mine are here today.

[GT2000]

w00! Mine came too, but there was nobody here to sign, so they left a note and will be back tommorow.

[bu01]

gottem in today, yay

[2K SE]

Got mine yesterday. Still need the P brake cable and a couple of bolts then the rear disk swap begins. Not sure if I'm gonna find a heater for the garage or just wait til the weather breaks. Prolly won't be able to wait though. lol. Pics to follow.

[99GrandAMSE]

... you can use your existing brake cables :)

[Rich]

so has everyone got theres? i still havent recieved a tracking number. i sent them an email with no response yet.

[red98grandamse]

Finally got mine on, stopping feels much better.. plus i had a OEM rotor that was a little warped

[99GrandAMSE]

So did everyone get their rotors?
