They're a Canadian company, seems alright. What do you guys think?

[YucA]

enjoy shitty rotors?

[Jgrand03]

i dont think i could cheap out on the one thing that keeps me from smashing into walls and other cars

[Rob's S14]

why not just get brembo blanks?

[RedSVTFlareside]

If you want your car to stop like an ebay car.

[Irukandji]

Get blank OE replacement rotors from Napa.

Cheaper, better, no headaches
Slotted and cross drlled rotors? Spend money elsewhere

[Trutrax]

So...I take it you don't think that these rotors are safe?...what might you suggest then?

[Doluck]

Bla Bla.. I say get them. That a bunch of bs.. you really cant get a rotor wrong. A rotor wont break and fall apart and leave you speeding to your death... I sell more brakes than any person on this fourm.. and I get some cheap china shit for $3 a rotor.... and them bitches work great!!
Fact is.. there are only 7 manufactures in the world that make them. 90% are in china.. even some of your loved Brembos.... made in china by PBR.. who makes every thing from Akebono to Zimmerman.... so just get them if that what you want...
On the down side.. Drilled rotors are for looks, they will offer your street car nothing. They dont stop any better, infact the reduction in surface area hurts more than helps. When a race car rotor is drilled it is in a patteren that makes a cyclone of air push out the rotor. Your not going to find this kinda rotor for a street car. O yea.. and .. They will warp.. and you cant turn them.. so enjoy the shakes!!! but any drilled rotor you get is going to do so after time.
I say if you really want good brakes, buy a kit... a 12" solid rotor and 4 piston caliper like I sell... thats the kinda stuff you need if you want to stop..

[CAPoweredS14]

Theres a place called Rotor Works that is a legit place. My dad and two of my friends have purchase rotors from them in drilled and slotted and dimpled and slotted form. They have used them for 2 years and no problems.. Sorry forgot to add...These are on trucks with my dad having a cummings diesel and friends having chevy pickups. All tow with their trucks too..

[Doluck]

O and another thing.... The ONLY diffrence form the cheap whith box Napa and the $$$ one is that they turn the $$$ one in a cross hash pattern right before shipping. Rotors wrap when they are stacked, so this cuts that out of them. The cheap ones are just shipped... Thats why I always have my guys cut a new rotor, and I also cut them on th ecar so they are true to the hub.

[Matej]

Purple rotors? I'm in.

[projectRDM]

Nothing better than drilling holes in a piece of iron that's already been coated and heat treated. Ask ANY reputable brake manufacturer, a solid disc is the best design for sustained driving.

"Why is my rotor cracking?"

[HellaSlowAndOld]

honestly DON'T BUY THEM! all rotors are NOT the same, my buddie got some same ebay crap for is 94 integra....long story short, in about a week they had cracks expanding from some of the holes...now if u think thats not too bad...um..uhhh...i hope u have life insurance..

be safe

sell your 240, and go back driving your fucking honda.

[kamerononfire]

these rotors are fine, i've run them on my 180 and they performed well.

cheap chinese rotors seem to be OK on small cars. on large trucks and shit they warp way too easily.

people spend too much money on rotors, OE blanks, chinese, high performance.. can you actually tell a difference in stopping performance? no.

[DreamN]

^ you're an idiot.

[Doluck]

Ask ANY reputable brake manufacturer, a solid disc is the best design for sustained driving.

That what i'm saying.. why do people think this s better. I rock a solid 12" and 4 piston alum calipers..... like a champ!!! and i'm still 4 lugin it.... FTW!! No custom shit... and only $499 for the whole set up... word..

sell your 240, and go back driving your fucking honda.

LOL..... that good stuff... can I use this for my sig??

[kensreliableb18b]

lol, why would you spend that much money on rotors? blanks from ur auto store work fine.

[dorkidori_s13]

honestly...if you want better braking...upgrade your rotors AND calipers...Z brakes on a S chassis make a night and day difference

[unicoladron]

honestly, for purchasing OE S13 rotors...just purchase from a reputable vendor either locally or online. if you want rotors buy them locally instead of waiting for slow shipping and you can have them instantly.

Also, is there much of a price difference between the ones your'e looking at on ebay, and the ones you can get at your local autoparts store?

i personally wouldnt' buy that ricer fanboy shit. why did they paint the rotor hat? does it increase braking force...no....does it make your brakes look gay...yes.

buy blanks from your auto parts store, or a reputable vendor so you can drive your car and stop with confidence.

:rawk: right on.

[spool_sample]

+eleventy billion for cheap auto store blanks.

Buy them and run the shit out of them... if you warp them or wear them down to an inch of their life, it doesn't matter because they are inexpensive to replace. Spend the money you save on good pads since those will actually make the car stop better.

[smelly240]

brembo blanks are so cheap - spend the extra 5 dollars.

i got my fronts for 24 each and rears for 19 each from Tire Rack :coolugh:

[Doluck]

^^ thats a good deal too... Solid im sure!! they drilled blanks were alot more last time I priced them... either way. I think he wants the drilled look..

[g6civcx]

There is nothing wrong with cross drilled discs, provided the drilling was done at the factory and then the disc was treated afterwards.

If you drilled the disc after it has left the factory with a drill press without treating afterwards, the disc is prone to cracking due to uneven heating on the edge of the drill.

Plus if you bought good pads there is no need for drilling. The purpose of the holes is to help pads degas, i.e. pads release air bubble under load, air gets between pad and disc=no brakes.

Modern pads don't degas nearly as much as older design pads, therefore rendering the drills unnecessary. You're actually hurting yourself because you're lightening the discs, which affect heat adsorption and dissipation=fade.

Brembo blanks are actually manufactured in Mexico, FYI.

Do research before making your mind up one way or the other.

[kensreliableb18b]

speaking of the drilled look, i remember back in the day when i was in high school and went to pepboys. this fool was installing fake rear cross drilled rotor plates on his civic in the parking lot. hahahahahahahahahaha oh how i miss the 90's

[smelly240]

drilled rotors are for degassing, slots are to scrape the pad...

I still say brembo blanks - cheap, proven, safe.

drilled rotors for the "look" is the dumbest thing ever.

Cheap blank rotors and good brake pads is what I use...
Cross drilled is unnecessary for it's cooling benefits... Getting better pads is the key...

I run Autozone brake rotors which cost $30 each with a lifetime warranty... After I wore them out (after two track events), I walked into Autozone with them, told them they wore out too fast, and they gave me a brand new set...

For pads I run Carbotech XP10 or Hawk Blues but for the street I would run Hawk HP Plus...

Carbotech folks are nice.

For street I would run HPS instead of HP+.

the performance ceramic hawks are great, no dust or noise at all.
