    Im having a hard time finding aftermarket rotors for my 72. I dont want to have to go and put drum spindles on to get the good sized brakes. Ive heard of some companys offering the drilled and slotted rotors for these cars but nobody can give me a name!! Any help?

Wilwood also has a great product.

Pick up any Mopar magazine and you will see tons of companies advertising for aftermarket brakes.

Nope. These companys only offer drum brake conversion kits. I cant find anybody that makes  upgraded rotors for cars that originally came equipped with disc brakes. Thats what im asking. Hopefully somebody will know a company that does.

Why not buy rotors from napa or something and get them drilled and sloted?

  I didnt know that you could do that. Also, theyre the stock size. I was hoping for something a little bigger. ( No puns please )

   The police rotors? Huh. I forgot the coronets were police cars. Where can I find them? Will they bolt up to the stock spindles?

That sounds like the best solution. Im in the same BOAT (get it?) I dont know how much drilled and slotted rotors would help espcially from some ebay company. Theres alot of R+D that goes into the drilling and slotting so they dont crack. Thats why i wouldnt want to take stock ones and cut them up.

  Yup. I cant imagine those rotors being safe after venting them like that.
