brembo rotors, quick question Options

[Mynzeyes]

both of you. cut it out. i'm sick of seeing you 2 bickering back and forth, and i'm sure i'm not the only one. take it to an IM or a PM. and just stop trying to one each other up. it's getting old.

Blimey, you are all just slightly wrong!!! I have black diamond drilled and slotted rotors, they are at least 50% better than stock. The slots clear the pads of any debris, hence ensuring that there is maximum pad to disk contact at all times. The rest of the stuff you all have mentioned is spot on but secondary to the main benefits that I have stated earlier. I have contacted at least 9 rotor manufacturers and they are adamant that 7th gen big brake kits will not fit on 6th gen front or rear?

haha blimey i'm gonna start using that one. so to get back on topic i dunno i'm clueless on what to say...

uhh nightrider, you're slightly wrong.

Drilled and slotted rotors are just bling items, they are worse than stock rotors because they no longer have enough surface area to brake with.

As for contacting 9 rotor manufactuers, did you contact Brembo? it fits on our fronts. Furthermore, without testing, no big brake kit maker is going to say that it fits on another car, then they'd be liable.

i think they look hott... if i had the extra money i'd probably buy a kit to slap on, not like i go racing around the back roads at extreme speeds neways. im alittle more into show.

[playr158]

doesn't cost that much my "#1" crossed and slotted from NOPI were 70
sum dollars

[shid]

playr, he means a big brake kit, which is thousands. not show crossdrilled and slotted rotors

[playr158]

eh maybe not thousands but couple hundered

for sum reason i really think that what we need to do
is find a reputable aftermarket shop
and have them design and test us a big brake kit
along with a rear disk for the ST
comes as 1 kit
or a individual?

[shid]

Brembo big brake kit is:

$2,395.00

for the fronts.

and designing a proper big brake kit takes upwards of a hundred thousand dollars.

Im thinking about getting some brembo calipers from lets say a wrx and making brackets to fit them. If they don't fit, they go back on ebay. Make a pattern out of cardboard, measure the offset and buy some plate, and off to the mill. Don't know if it will work though. Man I always get these crazy ideals. I swear I don't do any drugs

[playr158]

theoretically that could work

get a bigger rotor same bolt pattern ect...
then get a matched caliper
template it
machine it on a CNC or what not
bolt it up make the necessary things
but at that i'd say go endless (brand) for the gt4

Lotta dreamers... <=/

Drilled and slotted rotors are USELESS if you don't match up pads. It's all about the PADS...

The slots are for reducing fade and do slice into the pads. Holes are for cooling and looks. For the most part, vented discs with sliding calipers don't require drilled surfaces... and normal compound pads will get eaten up pretty good from the slots during hard braking. The only time drilled rotors may be beneficial is if you're running some massive 4-6 pot solid calipers that bite like no tomorrow...

Oh... and as for the ebay rotors, usually if they're advertized "brembo"... they are, or were, Brembo blanks that have been machined.
