BREMBO Rotors?
Okay, I tried the search function and didn't come up with much. Who has Brembo rotors and how do you like them? I'm looking to just upgrade my rotors, not calipers or entire brake system. I just want to make sure Brembos (cross-drilled and slotted) are reliable/don't rust/don't warp, etc.

i have them on my fronts. they work just fine no rust no warping. so far ive had them for about 10k. just make sure you get some good metal metallic break pads. and yes it is the stock replacments that i have. i did notice better breaking when i was mountain racing and that was probably due to the fact that it stayed kooler than the stocks.

The slotted *and* drilled rotors are Brembo blanks but they are not machined by Brembo. An independent company does this. The reliability and effectiveness is only as good as the design and work of the company. I've seen some rotors that have the holes and slots not located on the cooling vanes... this defeats the whole purpose. Stick with the name brand rotors and you'll be fine.

I'd suggest Stillen......... let me explain why
I'm currently on my second set of Stillen sport rotors. One set on my 3rd gen and one on my 4th gen. I love them!!! I've never warped or cracked a rotor. I once ran the pads so far down on my 3rd gen that they began to cut into the rotor and after a pad change the rotors still performed flawlessly. Thats the kind of real world testing you dont want to conduct. Anyway I've heard of some really really cheap drilled and slotted Brembo rotors out there and Got Rice? is right, I once emailed one of these guys selling those rotors and he couldn't give me any info on where the drilling and slotting was performed. It all seemed a little weird. If you're looking for Stillen rotors check with Got Rice? aka Phuong.
www.eatricezone.com he's got a sweet deal on the Stillen rotors and pads, you should check it out.
PS: He does great business and is very prompt, he wont sell you something you dont want or need.
