Default Rotor replacement!

Hi all,

Its time to get them replaced. I am currently using cross drilled Brembos. Any other recommendation? I also plan to get a set of brake lines. What brands of brake lines do ppl. often use here?

94hatchling,

Sorry if my English bothers you? Anyway, my intention of this post is to see what's majority is using rather than "what's the best". I am not interested in finding whether drilled or slot is better...etc. But, thanks for your input. I'd appriciated.

I like the Russel lines, they have a clear coating over them and look very clean. Check Fast Brakes for rotors... cheap prices if you can get him on the phone.

nub.96ek,
Any more details on the "Fast Brakes"? Link?

Guess what I found on my Brembo rotors? It begins to crack! Thin hair lines around the holes.....

Yes, that's what happens with cross drilled rotors. Drilling the holes creates stress concentration points, and sometimes microfractures, which eventually lead to cracking.

Get Brembo blanks. Less than $30 from ImportRP in the sponsors section.

Thanks. I am going to get either Brembo blanks or OEM. I think Brembo use better materials, rite?
