I found a set of four blank brembo brake rotor for 200 shipped and I can found some generic brand rotor for 100 dollars a set at autozone. The question is, for double the price, does it worth it? Does brand matter at all? Thanks

 

Quality.

It's $200 for a reason.

 

if brand didn't matter, then buy a Yugo.

SAME PRINCIPAL.

 

The Brembo's will stop you twice as fast and last twice as long. See the connection here?

 

Plus if you get the realllllly good one's they're all one piece which enhances durability.

 

Actully the beter rotors are two peice so they can use a lighter aluminuim inter peice and a replaceable other peice. But def get brembros over no name.

 

i c thanks alot.

 

hmm.... I always thought that the one piece's were better in racing applications due to strength. I saw it on a BMI when they were describing the brakes of the GT500 cars. However I suspect that a car doesn't need something that strong so maybe the two piece one's are better for "normal" applications.

 

i thought brakes were one piece as well... like the crazy red-hot-glowing carbon/fiber/composite brakes they have on gt cars

 

well its not really that important.

brembo blanks are not 2 piece.

autozone ones are maufactured by a factory in china.

the only "big" difference would be the heat charateristics. Im sure the brembos would dissapate heat faster to have less brake fade.

If its for daily driving then you dont need brembos.

 

oh well I found a an even cheaper deal on ebay 17x for all four. I guess for the 70 ish difference I will go for brembo.

 

okay end thread
