brembo slotted rotors and solid rears with pbr deluxes stops the wifes ETA from 90mph pretty damn well.

I've heard bad things about the brembo DRILLED rotors.


Hps = 60.00
Hp+ = 90.00 lots of dust and hard on rotors i hear.

akebono euro ceramic = 70.00 ????

I'm running ATE Premium Rotors front and rear with PBR Delux Pads. Unbelievable stopping difference compared to OEM rotors and cheap pads.




Rotors run $43.80 each @ www.bmpdesign.com

PBR Delux Pads run $36.67 a pair @ www.bmpdesig.com

Already have 300 miles on them and still look great. Only difference in looks is it does not have the Silver protective coating on it when it first was purchased.

they will rust. give them time.
I take care of my car and don't drive it in the winter.

uh, all rotors will rust. they're cast iron, they're exposed to the elements, brake dust, and heated to 500+ degrees.

maybe you know of some unobtanium rotors that won't rust no matter what..

^That's precisely why I bought the slotted UUC rotors. The hat, slots and outer edges/vanes are all painted/powdercoated black so hopefully rust won't be a problem.



I haven't put them on yet and won't until after the motor swap. No point in doing fresh lines/fluid/calipers/rotors/pads and then letting it all sit for a few months.

$160 for a set.
