What is a decent rotor that won't warp easily? Also any good places I could get some cheap?

Thanks!

 

You can get Brembo blanks on http://www.groupbuycenter.com for a pretty good deal.

 

Many racers swear by the AutoZone branded blanks as well. They are very inexpensive, hold up well (even with track brake pads), and have like a 90 day warranty. I have been told they are actually rebranded Brembo rotors.

Brembo is the way to go.. Cross Drilled and slotted!!!

 

brembo blanks are a good bet

also follow the instructions they have after installation to break them in

 

brembo doesn't make crossdrilled and slotted rotors. they're either blanks, crossdrilled, or slotted...not both. that's what brembo said when i called them to verify whether or not they made those rotors.

 

i heard bad things about slotted rotors, as well as crossdrilled. i heard hte best ones were solid brembo.

 

i heard that the drilled one's, the holes get bigger and wear out when racing. and slotted i hink i heard that they warp, not sure though.

 

um, brembo DOES make slotted and cross-drilled rotors. unless the ones on my car are fake.

yea i believe so also.. my friend w/ a teg has brembo slotted and crossdrilled rotors..

 

i've got cross drilled brembo rotors

the company i ordered them from says that they order the blanks from brembo and slot or cross drill the blanks themselves

 

Yup that's what companies do...Brembo themselves DO NOT make X-drilled and slotted...It's either X-drilled OR slotted....not both....most other companies out there though, buys the brembo blanks, then x-drills and slots them. So in turn you are getting brembo rotors...just modified....

 

Yes there are companies that take the Brembo blanks and drill and slot them but Brembo does make cross drilled and slotted..
Its just not for most applications..
For example Brembo makes the cross drilled and slotted for the 5th gen front but for the rears they will reccoment you to another comapny... Its a cost a little more to get original Brembo cross drilled and slotted than to buy from companies that to the drilling and slotting but most of those companies are accurate and you can't tell the difference... My front rotors are cross drilled and slotted and they are fully from Brembo. I would have bought it from another company but I got hooked up with these...

 

Guys, you really have to get over this Cross Drilled/Slotted bullshit.. it does nothing but cost your money in paying for those rotors in the first place, and wear down your pads quicker.. Pay 25$ each for NAPA/Autozone rotors, you won't be dissappointed..

Oh, and "warping" rotors, it just pad transfer onto the rotor, sand the rotor down, and it will most likely go away..

 

Thank you for inquiring about the discs that you have seen online. The discs that are for sale there are not genuine Brembo high-performance discs. ALL original Brembo high-performance discs are cadmium plated (light gold color) to help inhibit rust corrosion, and are cross-drilled or slotted NEVER both.

The discs on this site could be Brembo discs that have been altered by a third party. This occurs because we also manufacture plain OE replacement discs and sell them by the truckloads to wholesale distributors who then sell to their customers and so on. Somewhere down the line, the discs have been altered and we do not recognize them as a Brembo disc.

There is a difference between Brembo cross-drilled discs versus cross-drilled Brembo discs.
