Rotors and calipers

How are these rotors?

I'm about to order them so someone stop me if you think I shouldnt

Also, I was wondering if I should get some new calipers. I have a 1988 and cant seem to even find any calipers for the car.

Any advice anyone before I hit the buy button?

Rotora is a good brand, but have you looked on Ebay? they have some nice stock sized rotors that are either cross-drilled or slotted for cheap (maybe not Rotora, but other brands). i am sure you have read about the "Brembo" rotors on these boards?

Ebay didnt have any rotoras. Didnt do much other checking though...

No I havent heard about brembo rotors. What about them? good? bad?

Brembo are OEM on alot of hardcore cars, such as Evo, G35, and I believe Porsches and Ferraris as well. Quite a reputable company

brembo is OEM on the new ferrari FXX, which says an awful lot....but they don't make slotted/drilled rotors in an OEM fit for ours, only regular. There's a story about that floating around here somewhere.

Well I just did a little reading and some guy on here said that even the good crossdrilled rotors will develop cracks around the holes. Is this true? If so, should I go with just slotted rotors?

not sure if that is true, but i have read the same things about cross-drilled. although i think that just normal street driving with a little bit of Auo-X will not put the rotors under the amount of stress to cause them to crack. i am probably going to get some slotted OEM sized rotors off of Ebay in a few weeks.

How bad do you need the holes? Cross drilled rotors are meant to let excessive excess gas from braking escape. How heavy will you be braking?

Its all relative etc. The only reason I ordered cross drilled for my Miata is because I couldnt get OEM replacement rotors, which is honestly what I would rather have

Oh I shouldnt be braking too hard. I just do daily driving with the occaisional windy road race with a buddy or two. So just slotted rotors should be fine for that right?

Slotted dont crack do they?

get the ones that you think look the best or make your car look cool in your eyes, because driving like that you shouldnt have to worry about cracking the rotor, cross-drilled or not.
