#20944, "What should I expect from these DRILL SLOTTED rotors"




          

Like the question said...I saw these on ebay...they aren't brembo..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2441210083&category=33564

They have others on bid for very low reserve but I'm afraid these maybe generic and just crack on me...what do you guys think?

All I got to say is that I go geniune brembo rotors that were slotted/dimpled (not as weak as x-drilled) and they warped in no time at all, and the dimples are showing stress cracks.

I recommend getting nice name brand slotted or plain rotors, or better yet getting GSX front brakes, because the stock rotors are sooo easy to warp.

thats some good advice...yeah I probably should get some BREMBO, or better yet like you mentioned a GSX conversion...will it just snap right on for the GSX brakes or would I have to do some change.

Look on the main page at the reviews of aftermarket parts. You can expect less fade when braking on the highway they will stay alot cooler, and they look nice.

i found this rather interesting and in my case a very helpful ebay add that i came across, you should read this... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=33564&item=2441400942 . this may keep you from being ripped off by people claiming they sell brembo slotted AND drilled rotors. in the add it states... "Why pay triple the price for a set of fake Brembo cross-drilled slotted rotors on eBay when we both know that Brembo never manufactured Cross-drilled & Slotted rotors (www.brembo.com)." I went to brembo.com and they did not offer slotted AND drilled rotors. interesting.. emoji

if you are making that comment as a direct response to what i had to say, they are DIMPLED not drilled. if you dont believe me, call ARD. they are 150 for fronts plus shipping.

no, i wasn't saying that in response to what you said. i was just looking at ebay for some rotors and i came across that article and i thought it was good to know that brembo doesn't make slotted AND drilled rotors. the only reason i posted that was simply because when i saw brembo i was reminded of that article and figured it might save some people being ripped off emoji
