Hi all,

got a question.
my front brake rotors are bad and they need to be resurfaced or be replaced.

I have decided to replace them. Now I have 3 choices:

1. OEM rotors from Lexus/Toyota
2. OEM replacements from Brembo
3. Brembo drilled sports rotors.

My question is : will No. 3, the brembo drilled rotors be a big difference or at least
a noticeable difference than the other choices?

Thanks

Tim

 

OEM Blanks from Brembo. Cross drilled and slotted ones warp and dont have the surface area that blanks do.

 

OEM or Brembo Blanks. That's what I'm running right now.

Previous were slotted. Slotted rotors don't warp any more than a blank in most cases.
Unless you need the slot gouging the surface of your pads off(track days) you'll do better with blanks.

Rotors with holes in them are inferior. The only benifit they give is better wet braking, but tires are the limiting factor, not the rotors. Otherwise they are much more prone to warping, cracking and have less mass, so they break the slowest of the three.

Anything drilling is out of the question.
