What is the number or site for the place that supplies Brembo OEM rotors cheap? Isn't it Colleti racing or something like that?

Thanks,
EC

.RJ

But Ryan's right. Nopi is usually cheaper after Colletti overcharges on shipping.

Crosser

Thanks guys. Yeah, I noticed that about Colletti before.

Check out Summit for price and shipping.

Try Carbotech. I think I paid $40 each from they for brembo OEM rotors

siisgood00

Yeahhh, thats a ripoff.

I have ordered "Brembo" rotors from Summit before and were shiped generic stuff. Be careful.

The title of this got me thinking (in terms of IT class legality). Technically, if the part isn't manufactured by the OEM manufacturer, it would be a no-no - even if it is the "same specification" as the OEM part. Are the Brembo parts listed in the Honda books as a replacement for the stock P/N?

hrmm.. then i guess autozone rotors and pads wouldnt be legal either..
the rules have to be able to bend to incorporate these parts. do they expect everyone to buy every single bolt from honda and pay an arm and a leg?

Same here, even though in the summitracing catalog they advertise the Brembo box. It was a while ago, but I think when I inquired about it, the reponse was something like Brembo 'sometimes' supplies rotors for Qualitee.

Rotors and pads are "free" according to the GCR. What you cannot do is change the rotor or caliper size or type. Read the "spec lne" in ITCS for your particular car and that is what you are allowed. Personally, I would not use any rotor that is other than OEM in design as there is no real advantage (IMO).
As to the comment about "generic" rotors-Brembo Blanks are the same as the stock ones in appearance. I have a pair for my Civic and they look identical to stock and came in Brembo boxes. BTW: IF you did not get real Brembo rotors from Summit-they will take them back.

For anybody who lives in the McKeesport (Pittsburgh) area, Matta Motors stocks OEM Brembo rotors for a decent price. They'll also ship . . .

Thanks for the link-I'm in Monroeville

Brakes issues???????

CARBOTECH. period.

Great prices and service. Ask for Matt. ( yeah, they got Brembo)

John- who doesn't think Nopi or Summit would know chit about road racing a Honda/ Acura. Like going to McDonalds for a Pizza.

Cool. I can vouch for the great service at Matta Motors.

BTW, you autocross at BeaveRun?

jc836

Not much for the auto-x side. We will be there with the CRX sorting it out with NASA. My SCCA school days are also approaching. I'll be in touch with Matta now that I have the link. Have you ever done business with STATE tire? Drop me an e-mail if you want to.

Actually the Brembo OE Blanks are a tad different (and BETTER IMO)

The cooling vanes actually continue inward to the hub, farther than OEM.

Knestis

Oops - good luck defending that one in the Tech Shed! 17.1.4D.6.a says that, "Brake pads, brake linings, and brake fluid are unrestricted." I've come to the conclusion that there are probably a lot of IT Hondas out there that are outside of the rules on this point.

I got a pair of Brembo blanks real cheap ($19ea? ) from KVR, who happened to have a distributor near me. I think they have ads in the back of most of the magazines selling slotted rotors.

Kirk:
Here we are again . The rotors and pads are unrestricted-true. My point is that they are to be of the same size and type (material) as the production parts. I have no reason to think that someone is going to get super picky on this unless it is very obvious. Also, we are restricted on the size due to the spec line for rotor diameter and wheel sizing in IT.

Knestis

Just being the Rules NERD (or "rat-bastard") again but.... Nope. Nowhere is there a provision for anything but the stock rotors - restriction on "same size and type (material)" or otherwise. Show me different and I'll crawl back into my rat-bastard hole...

Otherwise, I agree with everything you say!

Kirk:
OK-you are safe on TOP of the rock . My misinterpretation of 6b on ITCS P15. It has been my understanding, now appears wrong, that one can use a rotor of the same material (cast iron) so long as it conforms to the stock spec's. I seriously doubt that anyone will measure the vanes inside of a Brembo blank. Weight might be the issue tho. I am certain, having now read the rule, that a rotor that is drilled or slotted will NOT be allowed. Now we can move on to cryotreatment-as there is no provision in IT for that either. Actually the base GCR rule has no provision for anything but a genuine OEM rotor that can be machined solely for the purpose of truing it. Thanks for your insight.

I got mine at Summit and they came in Brembo boxes everything was fine. I think they were $37 a piece.

Autozone rotors. Go buy them and be happy.
