There is a brake supply wholesaler across the street from my warehouse, I found out today that they sell brembo products. He quoted me drilled brembo rotors for my 04 STi. I don't know how good the pricing, but I think it is good. I am looking for any input on these rotors and how does this pricing compare. Thanks. Front set: Brembo Drilled rotors: $333.16 front and 318.32 rear + shipping
Don't hold me to it but I have heard the there are companys that buy brembo rotors and then drill the out. I would make sure that they came from brembo drilled...again dont hold me to it just something i read somewhere. I'm hoping to get some steal braided brake lines soon...should be a noticable differince im hoping
I've heard that with drilled rotors you lose brake surface area, and that drilled rotors tend to crack. You might want to ask if they can do slotted.
I forgot to mention that that quote was for either slotted or drilled. I was thinking the slotted would be better, but have to admit I like the look of drilled rotors. Are ceramic rotors be made with the holes instead of being drilled like metal? Would that make them less prone to forming cracks? I asked if he had SS brake lines, but he didn't, I think I will make that my first brake upgrade.
May want to check prices with our vendors on the site. Here's another vendor on Nasioc hnoes: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1230100 Seems like a good bit cheaper than the quote you got.
ebay rotors FTW~! cheap and come with 1 yr warranty. you can get all 4 rotors for like 300 sometimes with brake pads but i dont reccomend putting their pads...
Not sure about the Sti, but I have been waiting for almost 2.5 months for my front rotors from a company on NASIOC. Supposedly they are on backorder from Brembo. Might check into that before ordering anything.
Don't buy drilled, drilled rotors suck. If you want proof Ill be happy to link you to lots of test results etc...just ask. Matt
drilled rotors do crack, slotted is better, I used to sell them at my old shop and slotted was a lot better and more durable than drilled
Lookup Design Rotor Technology. Excellent rotors. I bought my fronts for $187 shipped to my door and they look awesome. They also look identical to Rotora rotors and I swear I can see a faint rotora stamped on the rotor vent area. I'll take pics if you want me to.
