Hi folks,

I posted this in the general discussion area as well, but I tend to only hang out here so I am cross-posting. (Admins, if you want to kill this topic, I'll understand!) The front rotors on my Liberty CRD need replaced, so I've been shopping around for slotted rotors. I came across Cquence Motorsports rotors:

http://www.cquence.net/index.php

On the left side, if you click on "Brake Rotors" then "Jeep" then your model, you will see applications for our vehicles. Rotors are available in several different crossdrilled/slotted configurations, in two optional finishes (they come standard with a zinc-plated finish). I have contacted the vendor and they have agreed to set up a group buy for Liberty and Grand Cherokee owners. The prices are as follows:

front PAIR - 85.00
front and rear PAIRS - 175.00
ceramic brake pads, front and rear - 90.00

Shipping is flat rate based on your location. If you buy more, shipping is a better deal:

shipping to west coast - 25.00
shipping to central - 35.00
shipping to east coast - 50.00

Here's how the group buy will work. We need ten buyers at a minimum, so I'll post on a few forums to get visibility. If you are interested, send me a personal check made out to "CQUENCE Motorsports" with a list of what you want and I'll hold onto it until the end of July. If we have ten buyers by the end of July, we're good to go and I'll send everything in to Cquence to process your orders. If not, I'll send your check back to you or shred it at your request.

If interested, email me at "chrispitude (at) gmail.com" and I'll respond with my address so you can send the item list and check. If you have questions about the products or about which shipping zone you fall in, please contact Cquence directly as I am not associated with them and probably can't answer your questions.

Do they make their own blanks?

If not who makes them?

What is the warranty on them?

Are the directional?

Are they drilled or dimpled?

Are they cast with the grooves and dimples and then drilled?

What are the temp ratings?

I am not a big fan of drilled rotors when they have not been produced correctly. I made this mistake once and it almost cost me my race car and my life when on of the rotors failed(shattered).

Hi jinstall,

You are welcome to contact the manufacturer and ask them these questions. I'd be interested to know the answers too.

I am not a big fan of cross-drilling. However, I do prefer lightly slotted rotors for purposes of improved braking in heavy rain. I did ask them where they get the blanks and he said he spent a fair amount of time tracking down a good source of blanks that would stand up to track use in enthusiast circles and provide good results. They can't be any worse than the factory pot metal rotors that came on my Liberty.

BTW, a closer look at the picture and a Google search suggests that they are dimpled, not drilled.

I read over their website and some of their wording does not make sense. The Ultimate's are cross drilled not dimpled.

An email to the vendor resulted in the following response:

It is on their website also but you have to look for it.

July is almost over. To let everyone know, I have not received any emails yet so unless there is a last minute rush of interest, this group buy is likely to fall through.

Sorry I am currently in the market but maybe going with DBA from Tire Rack. They are directional.
