Default Brake rotor ( Brembo / AutoZone / stock )

Are all the rotor ( brembo blank, AutoZone and stock ) in the exact same spec !!!

Did anyone know is there different on the thickless or weight ??

I've the stock but since everyone are talking about the value of the AZone, I just wonder is there any physical difference. Thanx

I use Autozone:
95 Acura Legend 4-door sedan LE/SE model = #3296 = $24.99 each.
The specs are not exact, but you will never notice the difference... it is a very slight difference in thickness I believe. They have outlasted Brembo Blanks, in my own testing.

I will putting a brand new brake pad with my new rotor.....If I use the AZone Legend rotor like you guys....... Will that " slight difference in thickness " cause any problem??

Thanks again

Don't remember the exact spec, but they are the same rotors Robert talked about, and yes, they are thicker for better heat handling.
scratches head...
Legend GS rotor are 28mm
aren't the regular legend and ITR rotors 23mm?

ITR is 21mm, at least on the 97 brochure, but I alwasy thought 23.. I know the legend se rotors are 23 which are the ones you get from autozone.

ITRCA lists them as 25mm, which is wrong I'm pretty sure.

THERE IS A THREAD ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE WILLARD STARTED IT AND I ASKED A FEW QUESTIONS. I BELIEVE HE SAID THE LEGENDS WERE THICKER THAN THE ITR'S .....????

There are two different Legend rotors that can be found, 23mm and 28mm.

I do not know if you can use the thicker Legend rotors with stock ITR calipers. Willard at one point experimented with Legend calipers - see if you can find the thread he created.

Willard and Yack are at Summit Point today through Sunday, so no input from them.
