Default Bradi Front Brake Rotors

Im thinking I need to do my front brakes. I am getting some good steering wheel flutter when braking. has any body hear of Bradi Front Brake Rotors. They look good, and are $110.00 for the pair. If not what is a good rotor/pad combo/ I plan on keeping my stock calipers. Here is the link.

Check sportbrakes.com. Good deals. Have steel lines put on while you're at it.

Alternatively you might consider just having your rotors turned - cured the vibration on braking I had with my stock brakes before I replaced them with monster StopTechs.

I have the Bradi's front and rear and they are great, I have them teamed up with the Rotora Axxis Ultimate pads, and they have a nice bite to them. I hate the brake dust and squeaking of my pads though, I'm gonn change to the other Axxis pad

I too have the Bradi rotors and I don't care too much for them. For one, the first set I got was warped outta the box but the good thing was they sent me a replacment set. I put them on and not too long after maybe like 6 months, these now have some flutter when braking at high speeds. And the pads like D said they are so loud and squeky sounds like I am driving a train on steel trakcs when I brake. After all of this I cannot recommend these rotors to you. Good luck.

Is this braking noise a drilled/slotted symptom or just a Bradi symptom?

From reading other threads, I've gathered that the brake noise is more a result of the pads then anything else. Honestly the squeaking only occurs when braking at VERY low speeds ( think stop and go traffic). That can be annoying, when your cruising from light to light in NYC!! LOL

Thankfully I have not exeperienced any of the issues Lexis11 has though. My only issue is with the squeaky squeaky when I'm cruising from light to light.

Thanks, D! I know there are several drilled and/or slotted rotors out there, and I love the look. I was hoping it wasn't the drilling/slotting causing the squeaking.

Ya D is correct his car isn't as bad as mine. Also I drive my car every day and I drve a lot so with that being said I don;t think the quality has stood up against the test. I could be wrong but they are already warped and don't seem to worth it but that again is just my experience.DO you drive your car everyday??

If you're talking to me, my GS is a daily driver. I think brembo and some others make rotors. Should I expect better quality or is a rotor a rotor?

Ya, I was askign because maybe these rotors are good for slight driving and not everyday wear and tear in traffic and on highways or it could be that I suck and just got some bads rotos LOL.
