Default What are better rotors for the price

Will the brembo rotors with the holes going from one side to the other crack quickly or not be good? you guys know what I mean. Or are these better???? I am just wondering cuz I am thinking of getting some rotors. Which???

:Raceconcepts Brand Drilled and Slotted Rotors. It is a combination of drilled and slotted, with silver zinc coated for rust protection.

Photo is coming soon. Drop us an email, we'll send you a photo.

This is called dimple drilled and slotted. Dimple drilled, meaning that the holes on the rotors is not drilled through from side to side. This new method of making drilled rotors, is the next generation of cross drilled and slotted rotors. This make the rotors stronger, it will not crack like your conventioal drilled rotors does. It has been tested with 20% cooler over stock rotors. It has the same exact looks as your regular conventional cross drilled rotors, but without the crack.


$50

Peace

If you get Brembo FACTORY cross-drills, there will be LESS of a chance of heat-checking. The rotors are heat treated AFTER the holes are drilled to ensure long life.

Steer clear of these guys who just drill holes, dimple or slot blanks. I assume that's what Raceconcepts does.

Best bet, just get Brembo OEM replacements. Low cost, best performance, street or track.

We're stocked up on cross-dilled and slotted OG Brembo Rotors. We are overstocked on Honda/Acura apps. We even have hard to find apps in stock.. Honda/Acura only $59each

Believe it or not, but the Power Slot rotors are made by Brembo too. I just got a whole set of 4 for my Civic with Integra brakes, and Brembo and the "circle B" logo is stamped on the edge of each one.

I got my fronts for $55 each, and my rears for $50 each.

I just got a whole set of dimple-drilled, slotted rotors from them. Front and back for like $177 off one of their auctions.

The rotors seem really nice, and solid.




Still looking for brake pads and brake lines, so they are not in yet.

I read this thread over in the tech forum the other day, and i think it is revelant to the discussion.

Also, ready the link to the other forum, not only does Cobra provide some nice smack down, but alot of useful information too.
