ok so the old ones needed to be replaced?
why not save money and get new stock ones?

Too bad slotted rotors wear fscking fast and warp in about 1/3 the time of regular rotors.

Cause then he'd have to drill pointless holes in them himself

 

[Aharami]

ok ok so its not the MOST exciting thing in the world. but i was pleasantly surprised that they are brembo brakes. i ordered them from ECStuning.com and they sell them as ECS brakes. I guess they take brembo brakes and slot/drill them.

i dunno. good question. i asked that myself after i ordered them

and i spoke with brembo...they say cross drilled brakes is not that likely to warp if you dont race with em...and i dont plan on racing

Mm... Sorry to burst your bubble, but enjoy stress fractures from the cross-drilled rotors. Hope you don't race at all, or have deep pockets to replace those.

so why did you GET them?

Just for show?

 

[cavemanmoron]

what kind of car?

I am going to put single piston disk brakes on my Valiant,prob this fall.

The stock drum brakes are just not good enough!

bingo

pricey item, very very nice brakes, but I think they're going to be wasted just for the sake of show :/

well my stock rotors are rusted out and wearing thin. so i HAD to get new rotors. Dealer was gonna charge me more for stock rotors than what i paid for these. but "show" is a factor, yes

edit: also these rotors are lighter than stock. stock rotors weigh 17lbs each. these ones are around 14lbs each. so they should save me a pretty penny on gas mileage while giving my car a little more go (it is said that 1 lb of unsprung weight equals to around 10 lbs of sprung weight)

VW GTI VR6
maybe later i will upgrade my brake lines to steel ones

It doesn't take a high-powered car to be a very fast road racer. Driver talent is the biggest factor in a lot of instances.

 

[m2kewl]

why's everyone b|tching, it's his money and it's cheaper then dealer's price for stocks.

i like those, bembos are cool.

 

[loup garou]

I got a heavy package from FedEx today, but I can't tell any of you about it!

 

[cavemanmoron]

Brembos have a very good reputation, high quality stuff!

thank you. finally someone on my side!!
if they were normal ECS brakes i wouldnt be so excited. the only reason im posting this is cuz them being Brembo just puts a big smile on my face! I always thought Brembo to be elite in the brake world....and now i own part of that eliteness

 

[TechnoKid]

looks good.

they are genuine brembo discs, but they have been drilled and slotted by a third party and not by brembo, just fyi. Brembo makes drilled or slotted rotors (they either make one or the other as far as I know they don't make a slotted and drilled),

The real brembro slotted or drilled rotors are cadium plated, and have a gold/brass/bronze color to them, not silver like your pics show, more like these: Text.

 

[Aharami]

well ECS claims that their brakes are cadmium coated. we'll see over time if they rust or not. ECS gurantees that these rotors wont rust
