Default Brembo Brake Rotors

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33564

Is it me, or does this seem like a really really good deal? You think they are real Brembo?

Justin,
I'll let you know. I bought the f/r rotor set with the pbr pads f/r for $369. I also bought SST lines, not knowing that sportnrakes had a package with them as well. They'll be here and on the car next week.

now i am not 100% sure about the rotor, but if they are stock replacement they can't be too expensive. for example, a brembo plain replacement rotor (pretty small in size compared to big brakes), they are like 60 bucks a pair usually. so now you pay double the price for drilled/slotted, not bad

Default Brembo

So, does anyone know for sure if these are infact real Brembo? Because I can't find both slotted and cross drilled Brembo on the internet. It appears they make either one of the other. Any prooof they are quality rotors? Thanks guys!

Justin, they ARE Brembo rotors. They're machined here in the US by the importer, it appears. They are not factory drilled/slotted.

Thanks for the answer.

By the way, which is better slotted or cross drilled? Because I think the official Brembo are only one or the other, not both. That’s why I am a little hesitant to purchase because all this drilled and carving weakening the rotor. Someone has suggested, theses will warp after only a few hundred miles, and to only purcahse official Brembo slotter or official Brembo cross drilled.

I'm unsure...slotted will pull the dust from the center of the hub, and drilled will theoretically aid in expelling gases from the surface of the rotor. If the rotor is PROPERLY machined, it should last. If not, I'll send you a picture of my car buried in a tire barrier at Sebring next month.

instead of these ebay rotors, why not get the stoptech rotors/ ss lines/ axxis pads/ brake fluid combo from the prolexperformance.com forums?

yes those are actually brembo rotors. i bought a set of 4 (front and rear)from sportbrakes off ebay a few months ago. i think i put pics in my gallery if you wanna look.

they arent' stoptech but if you add a set of axxis pads to the mix, it darn sure works excellent, and looks hot!

All,
Rotors came today with the PBR ceramic pads. They look to be of exceptional quality, this includes the machining done stateside. True test is on the way for the "powered by eBay" IS. Sebring next month, and Roebling Road within the next couple.
