fake as fake can be. mike95lude cleared this up awhile ago. brembo doesn't make cross drilled / slotted rotors together.

so these are brembo blanks that are drilled/slotted.

also, everyone knows that the holes/slots don't help with any braking, it actually could hamper it some (more brittle rotor)

tehsu · 03-18-2007, 10:49 PM

how about drilled rotors are they any good or just go with blanks

snotshake · 03-18-2007, 11:19 PM

don't do drilled rotors. Especially from eBay. If you are going to go with drilled rotors, the holes need to be cast with the rotor, not literally drilled into it. It decreases it's ridgity severely AND hurts preformance.

If you want show, either go with a BBK or some simple Brembo blanks. I don't care how mine look so I just got some Autozone ones. The only difference is that mine oxidize when they get wet.

I hate when it gets that rusted look after it rains. After driving for a little bit, it just goes away

tehsu · 03-18-2007, 11:46 PM

mine rust right now, i guess they're autozone ones on it right now.. ill just get the brembo blanks if i cant get mine turned

petern101 · 03-18-2007, 11:57 PM

^brembo blanks still oxide too

i've had two sets, but usually i get new pads so i just order them with it becaue i got to pay for shipping anyways.

duralast for my next set

tehsu · 03-19-2007, 12:04 AM

ok so im confused cuz importrp has brembo cross drilled on there website

http://www.importrp.com/product.php?...&cat=38&page=1

but i thought they didnt make it.. ahh so confusing

tehsu · 03-19-2007, 12:07 AM

^^ Ahh ok, brembo doesnt make both slotted and cross drilled, but they do make cross drilled

snotshake · 03-19-2007, 05:12 PM

Actually, I thought the "brembo" cross drilled rotors were just brembo blanks that an aftermarket company drilled. I could be wrong about that though.

tehsu · 03-19-2007, 05:24 PM

from what i understand brembo makes cross drilled, but not slotted.. and the people who cross drill and slot brembo blanks are fake, and they break.. so the best is blanks

PininFarina456 · 03-19-2007, 07:04 PM

Blanks are the best.

The cross drilling is done by another company after Brembo makes them....

ludacy1 · 03-19-2007, 07:45 PM

i bought those same rotors 2 years ago, i noticed a slight difference in better braking but i aslo got axis brake pads installed all at once, other then the rust after it rains, but it does go away after driving, 2 years later there holding up great, deff woth the money imo.

petern101 · 03-19-2007, 10:35 PM

brembo does make a drilled rotor, but i remember mike saying they are almost goldish color and only come on their BBK apps

have you accounted for the shipping and handling? But yeah im going to purchase mine from them when the time comes to upgrade the brakes

tehsu · 03-20-2007, 09:30 PM

yes thats with the shipping and handling.. tirerack = 85.. mike95lude = 95, tirerack has shipping for 17, and importRP has it for 21, and they charge 36 per rotor where tirerack charges 34
