Are Brembos worth it over Stoptech Blank rotors?
Hey guys,
Recently I had my front rotors replaced with stoptech blank rotors and my mechanic kept trying to sell me on brembos but they cost like 2-3x as much. Are they really worth it? I need to get new rears soon and I could start the conversion to brembo if it's really worth it but keep in mind that I don't really track my car.

For a daily driver I say they are not worth the cost. If you tracked it or raced it often then maybe. They do look baller though.

Definitely not often. I was thinking about taking it to a track day here and there, but I would consider myself an intermediate level driver so I don't think I'd be thrashing my car on the track lol.

i'm assuming your mechanic is trying to sell you brembo blank rotors, am i right?
I track my g35 with Centric Premium rotors on carbotech XP10's and the centrics hold up to the heat just fine. There's no need to buy a brembo blank for 2X the price.
