i think my rotors have about had it.
at freeway speed when i brake the stering wheel shakes a lil
so i was planing on get ing the brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors
what do u guys think about these
should i get the cross drilled and sloted rotors or should i just get the brembo blanks?(oem replacement)

 

bembo blanks for durability in the long run

btw have you tred resurfacing the rotors?

 

Autozone rotors, and I would skip resurfacing. They'll just warp in less time...whats the point of paying $10 a rotor to resurface when you can pay $20 and not worry about it for another xxk miles.

Do a search on "rotors" you should find all the information you need.

 

This might sound dumb but did you make sure your lug nuts aren't loose by any chance? I thought my rotors were warped and later found out all my lug nuts on the left front wheels weren't tight at all thank god I checked that day. If not, just go with regular brembo, not cross drilled.

 

what about slotted Brembo rotors? that's what i was thinkin of getin.

 

brembo blanks.

 

unless you have some crazy horsepower and are constantly braking hard.....you don't need drilled/slotted rotors. a set of good blanks (brembo/autozone) with a good set of pads will do you just fine.

yes my lug nuts are tight i'm sure they are not loss.

so nobody aproves of the brembo cross drilled and slotted?

 

the brembos will cost you. i have powerslots on my car, there just slotted but i can tell a huge difference in braking of the stock ones. if you drive fast and brake hard, then you should upgrade to slotted and/or drilled rotors, but if you drive easy, then blanks would be fine. and i dont see a point in spending twice as much on brembo blanks when you can get basically the same ones from auto zone for alot cheaper.

Adam</TD></TR></TABLE> driving fast and braking hard(at least on the street) are not sufficient premises to warrant purchasing cross drilled/slotted rotors. For street use, you wouldn't ever exceed the limits of brembo blank or autozone rotors.

exactly. unless you have a track ***** car....you don't need slotted/drilled rotors. with the money you save from buying blanks, put it towards a good set of pads and you'll be in great shape.

 

Cobalt Friction is offering a high quality replacement rotor for ~$29 each after H-T discount, which means they're competetive w/ Brembo. Supposedly better than Brembo, though.

Get Ultimate pads while you're at it.

 

Just remember that if you are hard on your brakes that the drilled rotors are more prone to cracking and this will probably be the reason why you replace them again...this comes from personal experience...I have brembo cross-drilled...just get a set of cleap rotors and good pads

 

if its only for street use, i would just stick with the brembo blanks.

 

so would the brembo blanks be betta then OEM brake rotors?

 

bump...
Are the brembo blank rotors better then the Honda OEM brake rotors?

 

go to autozone and get their rotors..just as good as brembo blanks/oem rotors for 22 bucks a piece..i just bought a set for my rear and soon will be replacing the fronts...while your at it get the haedware kit too..14 bucks..new sliding pins and the clips the hold the pads

 

what about the legend upgrade?

i thought the legend upgrade involved calipers....

 

I have the slotted Brembo's on my car and like them. Had them for 2 years with the same brake pads and still doing fine. I dont think that they offer improved performance for the street, but good pads DO. Plus with just the slots, I can barely see them(As in they dont look ricey). But if the blanks are cheaper get them, just want to say that there is nothing wrong with the slotted ones.

Ooooh I just remembered, I dont know about the other but Brembo coats their rotors with brass or some other metal that does not rust. This wears off the part that rubs the pad so it can rust but that wears off in 1 stop anyway. So unlike the OEM rotors they stay nice and shiny all over.

slotted or drilled will provide better wet braking

ive felt fade before on my car but after going with axxis ultimate and brembo drilled ive never felt any kind of fade
