Default I Need NEW ROTORS, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wuzzupper guys and the few gals we have, its long overdue for me to get some new rotors, THEY HAVE DEVELOPED A NICE LIP WHICH CAUSES THIS ANNOYING SQUEAK WHENEVER THEY'RE COLD. I know i can go with OEM, but is there a way for me to keep my original calipars and go with an aftermarket rotor? Any suggestions, I was looking on eBay, but dont want to get shafted, any ideas please post, thanks in advance guys!

Stoptech might make some OEM direct replacement rotors or brembo..they both make a good product.

take it in to the dealership and get the brake tsib done. you'll get brand new brake pads from a gs450h and they will machine your rotors.

The brake dust TSIB does not include 08s (even though it should)- Some dealers will do it anyway as a courtesy, many will not.

This could be a warranty item since rotors should last longer than a year. Did you take it to a dealer?

yeah i took it to the dealer, i had the brake TSIB done a looooonnng time ago; however they didn't turn my rotors (at that time there wasn't a need to i guess). When i went to the dealer they looked at my brakes and said the lippage on the rotors were too bad (he said after turning them it may not be enough surface left or something around there, i cant remember exactly) and they would have to be replaced. thanks guys for all the help!!!

im going to check brembo and stoptech about the rotors, sounds kind of expensive but i rather pay a grand from those rotors than OEM at least maybe i can get some drilled ones.

keep the ideas coming you'll get to this point at some time! again thanks

gooooooodddddd news fellas; here's some info, i just got off the phone with stoptech and they have the direct replacement rotors for the is 350, the retail at $140 a piece and the rear retail at $105 a piece, that's pretty cheap BTW they're slotted, they didn't have drilled which is kind of what i wanted.

so now im off to call brembo, but getting through to someone at brembo is a pain in side.

Drilled is worse than blank anyway unless you're buying them for a car show... Slotted is fine though.

Drilled is -more- prone to cracking, and can handle -less- heat.

ive heard bad things about lextasy, can anyone vouch for them? in addition, do the 250 and 350 have the same rotor size, but different calipar sizes or what?

BTW what are some other companies that make good brakes that may sell a direct replacement rotor? PLEASE ONLY INFORM US OF THE GOOD STUFF, NONE OF THAT STUFF YOU WOULDN'T TOUCH WITH A STICK, THANKS!

Stoptech

Brembo (dont make one for our cars according to Brandon Miller of BREMBO)

EBC (dont know anything about this company, but someone said they were decent)


give me, give me, give me more, give me more!

no homo just having a moment, peace!
