Question Are they really Brembo?

Can you please clarify which Brembo rotors these are. Can you provide pictures?

Others on this site have contacted Brembo and say they've been told that Brembo does NOT make cross drilled/slotted rotors for the GS.

its exacly same size as OEM.

Personal Check (has to wait to get cleared), money order, or cashiers check.
email tony@fobx.com and please CC eelin@juno.com with year & model of the car and address.
Also put "Gene Rotor Group Buy" in the subject line.

It appears they are not Brembo, but Bradi. And the seller claims Bradi is made by Brembo.

See this thread

Sounds flaky to me

Marty,

I called Brembo and they said they don't have any OEM rotors for Lexus GS400/430.

Thanks RacingAristo,

Sounds like this guy was trying to set us up for a rip off.

Love it when we team up to avoid getting taken advantage of.

glex,

Sorry, but this doesn't appear to be what the seller says it is. I'm passing on this one.

finaly i got a true answer from him.
this is original email from him.

I am very disappointed to say that these are not Brembo rotors. The distributor who does get real Brembos for Honda/Acura/Nissan gave me false information. These are simply OE replacements that are drilled/slotted to Brembo specs. I'm sorry to have led this on for so long without checking for myself.

Regards,
Tony

sorry guys for all this mess,i'm glad that with your help we find out that is not BREMBO ...

i'm passing on this my self ..

thanks again for a group effort.

if anybody knows where we can get real Brembo rotors lets ogenize a group buy.

Wait...if they are drilled and slotted according to Brembo specs...wouldn't that MAKE them Brembo...does Brembo use some special kind of metal or is it steel as the rest of them?....is it the plating??? because the stock ones are actually plated silver zinc...

Please reply because i just bought these things...so let me know what would happen if i put these on my car?

I want to keep my stock calipers and stock rotor size..I already ordered my SS brake lines...

Default Hey guys...

Hello All,

Sorry for the wild commotion I put you guys through. But I thought for this price and being Brembo, I could make a little money. I never questioned myself if they were real or not. The distributor gave me a set, I never looked at them and had them installed. They work great and look great! He has told me now that I've been bombarded with emails that these are Bradi...
The distributor specialized in Honda/Acura/Nissan/Ford and my first couple of sales were in eBay were his first actual orders for Lexus rotors.
Anyways, to make a long and confusing story short, I'm sorry for the misunderstandings.

ps. I would never rip off other CL members

Tony
