Got those brembo rotors, take a look

[Poatree]

Brembo Cross-drilled and vented rotors... picked them up from point roberts today. It was a bit hairy at the border (they searched my car and found the rotors) but i got out of it with some fast talking (read: I bullshitted thru my teeth).

They're stock height but are better in almost every way

Heres some pics, this is the front one, the rear ones are the same but less diametre.

21mm wide

Thickness check:

Oh they're real brembos:

The vents:

why would they take rotors from you at the border? they illegal in canada?

Why'd you get drilled instead of slotted rotors?
What'd you pay for them?
Are they cad Plated? They don't look it.

Rotors look good. Slotted kept eating up my front pads...I'm thinking of taking the drilled route as well. But then again, something maybe wrong with my calipers. :icon_conf

Why would slotted rotors eat your pads?

That's why I said, "something maybe wrong with my calipers." At times, my brakes feel engaged and take a little more to get it moving from a stop.

Slotted rotors scrape the surface of your pads so there is always a fresh surface. Edit: never mind the rest of my post. IJ set me straight.

Crossdrilled wipes the pads just like slotted too. The only difference is slotted your using one long line and crossdrilled your using lots of tiny holes....

Think about it.... :biglaugh:

i heard there are issues with cross drilled rotors cracking? anyone encounter this ever.

 

[kamil]

If you're constantly autocrossing etc, that'll happen to any rotor. What was said in the previous posts is pretty spot on about pad wear/efficiency.

 

[Poatree]

D34... customs man. I didn't want to pay duty for them.

these are real brembo so they shouldn't crack.

 

[SupraMario]

Oooo, hehehe gotcha.

request: Some very knowledgable people need to make a sticky about brakes. The ups and downs of solids, slotted, drilled. EVERYTHING about rotors and pads. I said "some" people because everybody seems to have a different opinion about them. It'd just be nice to have the facts layed down from more than one perspective on the drilled/slotted issue since it gets brought up so much.

Also... I saw something before about painting/coating them somehow, so that only the brake surface is not coated.... That way, only the brake-pad surface shows oxidation, and is removed when pads apply pressure.

It's the one thing I did not do w/my Brembos that I wish I had. I may do it later tho.....

i can see painting the vents on the rotors,that would help alot with rust sence they rust mostly right there.
