Brembo Rotors
undRgrNd350z,
Why Brembo? Good Price?
The rotors look good, should really enhance the appearance!
I want to upgrade my rotors as well, I would like the StopTech 2-Piece Aero, but the price is killing me.
Thanks
Major

If you don't use race compounds they will never crack

What would be the point of getting drilled disc you can't push hard?
The holes sees concentrations of constraint when heated. When the disc cracks, it will be around the holes.
The disc won't explode suddenly. It will last not last as long as a plain one, that's all.

more power to you if you can get by running them without issue. You won't see them on my car.

oh lord......here we go again
do you happen to notice how many cars run drilled rotors stock? And no, those holes are not "cast" into the rotors...they are drilled after the fact.
The trick with ANY rotor...drilled, slotted, solid..makes no difference, is running a pad that is well matched to the rotor. Anyone that says otherwise either has a commercial agenda they are pushing or do not have the knowledge required to make the case otherwise. I've run drilled rotors on so many of my own cars I cannot even count. I've also NEVER had an issue with them whatsoever. I've run slotted rotors as well..and again, never ran into a single issue. Different brand rotors, different cars, same result...match your pad to your rotor and you'll be ok. Now, how do you know what pad to run? Unfortunatley, it is alot of trial and error I find....there is no other way
I swear the amount of misinformation that gets tossed around on this board in particular is mind boggling
From the horses (Brembo's) mouth:
What are the advantages of drilled and slotted discs?
The main advantages of drilled and slotted discs are the same: increased brake "bite", and a continuous refreshing of the brake pad surface. Drilled discs have the additional advantage of being lighter and running cooler. However, there are certain pad materials that should not be used with a drilled disc.
Why are there so many holes in a cross-drilled disc?
The number of holes in a cross-drilled disc is part of the engineered system. Brembo has done extensive testing with regards to the number of holes, their size, their location and their chamfering. This attention to detail is what truly sets Brembo apart in the world of braking. The same attention to detail that is delivered to the Ferrari Formula One effort is a component of the high performance program. The number of holes in a disc is in part a function of the size of the disc and the internal venting (if it is a vented disc).
Does Brembo manufacture OEM cross drilled discs?
For some OEM applications, Brembo designs and manufactures cross drilled brake discs to be fitted as original equipment by a vehicle manufacturer. In these instances, the vehicle in question is usually of very high performance and needs the additional performance that these discs offer. The Sport discs that Brembo offers are direct replacements for the discs fitted as original equipment. These discs are available in both drilled and slotted configurations, and are engineered and manufactured to the same high standards as those fitted as original equipment.

I really don't understand why they would talk about their F1 experience with drilled discs. Doesn't make sense.
This happened with OEM Subaru brake pads. Probably too abrasive for a DBA Gold rotor on a 165hp car...

the quote does not say they use x drilled rotors in F1....maybe you did not read it carefully. It says they use the same attention to detail in their street disks (drilled and slotted) as they do in the disks they make for F1...is that more clear?
As for your picture...why did that happen? Neither I, nor anyone else can answer that...shall I post the pictures of the drilled Brembo rotors I run on one of my other cars, which have 30k miles on them and not a crack in site, using Hawk HP+?
Proper brake in, and proper pad selection is the key
