I got my blanks last week from Nopi.com. In my opinion, their prices are good. You should check them out.

The ones that installed the blanks, how much noticeable improvement over the stock ones?

They're really just rotors made by Brembo to OEM specs.

Everything else being equal, you won't notice much, if any difference. Since you aren't changing the rotor diameter or pad diameter, physical braking performance will be identical, and since the rotor width and likely the vanes are the same, rotor cooling/rotor temps won't change much either. They might use some different coatings on the exterior to resist rust forming, or possibly use some different alloying to make them a little more resistant to warping.

The best thing about these rotors is the fact that the price is low and you can expect quality from a company like Brembo. I trust these rotors over a some no-names that are the same price. I have these on my car for two hard track days and they arent pulsating yet.

Read my message above yours.

There's a few ways to stop "quicker" (ie, shorter):

1. Stickier tires. If you're already locking up your tires, and/or into the ABS, then you won't see much improvement without stickier tires (for a single stop, multiple stops is a different story).

2. Larger pad area (ie, different calipers).

3. Larger rotor, which produces more braking torque (ie, BBK).

4. Pads with a higher coefficent of friction (ie, street/track pads).

There are other variables if you are talking about multiple stops in a row, where thermal loads come into play.

I suppose you may get some minor improvement, since when you have that intial stomp on the pedal, a rubber hose can expand. They would probably give you a little more "bite".

Braided steel brake lines are really a confidence thing, since they improve pedal feel. That mushy brake pedal isn't very confidence inspiring.

I'm getting a front set from them to go along with a rear set I'm getting from another HT member

What's the breakin period like for them?

here's the link to their sponsor's forum page that they're selling the brembo blanks on:

I've read and heard this is not uncommon with rotors that are both crossdrilled and slotted...........this is why I'm going with the solid brembo blanks.......the link to the honda sponsor for sale page on these rotors explains why slotted and cross drilled rotors are not essential anymore with quality brake pads.

You're right they do suck. Brembo only makes rotors that are Cross-driled or Slotted. Any "Brembo" rotor you see for sale that is both slotted and cross-drilled is just a Brembo blank that has been machined by a third party. I advise you to stay away from those because the quality is defiantely questionable. Plus doing that severly weakens the structure of the rotor as well as removes valuable mass to absord generated heat from braking. For any real type of racing stick to blanks or slotted rotors if you are using factory size rotors.

Also thanks to you all for your support, we appreciate it. Let us know if you ever need anything or have any Q's.

Thanks,
Mike
