how good are brembo rotors?? cus i saw them on groupbuy for 49 bucks...they are slotted and drilled...well the guy said not drilled all the way but "dimpled".

anyways...i think my rotors are warped a bit and imma have to get some new ones soon so i was thinking of getting these...anyone know about them?? think he said the part # was HF11.


thanks

peace

 

avoid slotted/and drilled like the plague.

avoid drilled in general unless they are CAST drilled rotors (not actually drilled)

stick with pure slots.

 

those are just brembo blanks that people drill holes in, although they are real 'brembo' brakes, they are not the same as the Big brake kits you would buy. If you want the real deal, your going to have to get the whole brake up grade, $2k+ slotted + drilled

 

regular slotted/drilled warp faster anyway.

 

they are in the brembo boxes...isn't that illegal if they do that?? cus it's not a genuine brembo product?? oh and they guy said that these are "dimpled" so they won't crack...and i heard that brembo ones don't warp that easily...but in either case...where can i find some whole break upgrade information...like price/manufacture....heard AEM sux.

thanks for the replies though.

 

AEM isn't actually all that bad. You can go to the manufacturer's website. www.aempower.com www.brembo.com

 

dimpled? bogus.. anyone who drills holes into a tempered rotor is a con artist..

and no.. no law saying you cant sell modified parts, just dont expect brembo warranty.

for the 4th gens im not a big fan of AEM.. a bigger rotor using the same caliper sweep = waste of time IMO.

but for the 5th gens (maybe 6th??) they have a 4 piston monoblock setup which is quite nice.

 

but it's in a brembo box and it's sealed as far as i can see....i went to the brembo website and they don't have slotted/drilled rotors...just one of the other. i'll call them tomarrow

thanks,

peace

 

I think they drilled it themselves. I'm sure they work, but you may have problems with them if you plan to work them hard. I hear they may crack if you do so. Being dimpled sounds like it's half drilled or it's more like slotted, but dots instead of slots. *shrug* no comment.

The AEM big brake conversion is crap from what I hear. Don't waste your money. It works, but not for its price.

Get the slotted Brembos, or go with another repuatable brakes company. Where can you get slotted Brembos at anyway?

 

you can order it off their website but the place i was gonna go to is in buena park...they had the groupbuy thing going...here's the link

ps. on the side note was the posting count reset or something cus i'm down at 16 right now...i thought i was in the hundreds. oh well...just wonderin'
