Just an fyi.. According to a couple of brake professionals I have talked to, Brembo does not make anything called the "Bianchi." These are just brembo blanks that someone has crossdrilled... Be aware-

Oh really....if that is the case then is it possible that these aren't trully Brembo blanks as no one has yet been able to find any 5th gen Brembo blanks out there?! Oh well, might just stick with the offer from raceconcepts.net...

I am looking at a box in front of me that says Brembo Bianchi Dischi Freno...Unless I am crazy, I can take a picture of this box for everyone....

Cattman for one....

"That said, whether you're going to spring for the Brembo fronts or not, be sure to buy "fully genuine" Brembo rotors. Some companies, and I can think of one large-volume Maxima supplier in particular, are selling generic Brembo rotor blanks that have been machined (drilled, grooved whatever) and adapted by others (i.e. "who-knows-who machine shops again ;-) ) for the Maxima. I think they're sold as "Bianchi Brembos". There is no such thing in the Brembo catalogue and they are not authorized by them.

No Brembo guarantee, and none of Brembo's very critical expertise machining those holes/grooves (temperature, stress relief, etc.). They're cheaper (i.e. cheap) but if you go back to Brembo with a warranty issue there is no recourse since they didn't do the critical machine work."

Actually, here is the Brembo part number for you, so you can tell Mr Catts to try again
09.5254.10-rear 1995-1999 Maxima.
I can go on with the part numbers, but FYI, these are genuine rotors from Brembo, imported directly from Brembo Italy International.....

Hmmmm, the plot thickens....I just need to figure out if these are worth the extra change compared to the rotors in the raceconcepts.net group deal. Any thoughts on that Alex? Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any deals about raceconcepts, but I do know their prices are fairly high on the site....

In the group deals section there is a deal set up by BigDoggJonx I believe with raceconcepts.net for ALL 4 rotors for $200...either dimple drilled and slotted, drilled only, or slotted only for 89 - 01 Max. I'm leaning towards slotted only for my 2k1...can't beat $200 bucks.
