My brembos need replacing and based on the searches I have done here getting it done at a dealership will be a huge ripoff. In one thread I read that with the brembos you can't just change the pads you have to also change the rotors (is this true) if that's the case I might as well get aftermarket rotors and pads.
If this is true then what is a good combo of pads and rotors that will not squeel? I don't mind brake dust that much but I have zero tolerance for squeeking and squeeling.

Thanks

 

stoptech rotors and hawk pads?

 

just looked at prices of rotors. Don't really want to spend that much. Are new rotors really needed? why can't I just replace the pads?

 

rotors can stay if they are within specs... for most of the rotors i know of... not sure on the Brembos... but i dont understand why you couldnt

 

stillen rotors work well too i hear

 

Hey Daveed I appreciate the help. I just found these on ebay. Can u give your opinion? thanks

never heard of those...but whats nice is that the "hat" of the rotor is painted black so it wont rust

 

damn these stillens are pricey

yeah I noticed that also. What I really like is that the price of all 4 is cheaper than what it would cost to just get a set of front or rear stillen rotors. What I am concerned about is noise. Do rotors contribute to noise that much or does that mostly depend on the pads?

 

Noise is a stick-slip vibration between the pads and the rotors.........either one can be the cause.

Rotor cast iron quality, chemical makeup, and density is critical also internal dampening [vane support structure and quanity quality.

There are hundreds of ways to make inexpensive rotors ---all bad. 80% of the world's rotors are now made in China"
Poland is now Brembo production...............who ever has the cheapest iron.

"We are producing this kind of high performance brake rotor with yellow,
white and black colors. They are selled to U.S.A. market several years."
