Hey guys, I am gonna need some new front rotors within the next month or two, so I was thinkin what you guys think the best brand to get it. OEM's are kinda expensive at around $60-$70+shipping. I was thinkin about getting some Brembo blanks which are about half the price of OEM, or possibly Brembo Zinc Plated. How are those, and are there any other good brands??
There is no way I am gonna shed out the extra cash for a few lines or holes in my rotors, so I am looking for a good REGULAR rotor.

 

Ummm...i just got two double cross drilled/slotted front rotors for $75 free shipping.
Ebay is the truth. dont be scurred

 

Internetautomart sells brembo blanks for pretty cheap.

hmmm you got me looking..might be pretty good if I can pick them up to save on shipping. but these are drilled by the seller, not brembo..can I trust them?

 

No complaints here so far. I usually look at about ten of them, read the discription several times thorougly and pick the one that seems most professional.

 

Drilled rotors aare not good for street use.
Get some nice brembo blanks and be done with it.

I sell rotors

 

Don't bother getting drilled or slotted rotors. They're not going to do anything for you in regular driving and it's just one more thing to go wrong. Blanks are most durable and are best for pad life. Besides Brembo there are other good, reputable brands you can choose as well.

Notice that the big proponents of BBKs here like Matt and Jeff don't use them either, and Matt races his car. Only get slotted/drilled if you really MUST have the look of them.

 

why arent drilled/slotted rotors good in street use, but good in race use?

 

because in a race they will replace them every race, and they're more concerned about weight than durability

What about Zinc Plated brembos?? There was a GD here for them a little while ago

 

The Zinc plating is just for rust prevention. It's a cosmetic thing. If that is a concern of yours, get them. It only prevents the areas of the rotor not in contact with the pad from rusting, of course.
