Question Cross drilled Rotors with brembos

Can I buy the same rotors as all other G's or do the brembros require something different, I just need something that's not as ugly the stock rusted ones I have. Not to concerned about brands and performance, just price

The brembo rotors are much bigger than the stock rims, they are special and more expensive.

If your rotors were bigger than your rims you could never mount your rims...

The Brembo rotors are specific as far as I know. They are typically a little larger and have a greater contact surface.

You can get aftermarket rotors for your Brembo calipers. Just be sure to specify that you have them. I use the dimpled/slotted rotors from EBC.

I got some Brembo Sport Drilled rotors from tirerack, they were much cheaper than the OEM Brembo rotors.

You can a set of excellent aftermarket rotors for the Brembo setup - Centric Premium rotor blanks. You can also get them heat-treated for a little more durability. I am running them now on my Brembo '04.5 and they feel exactly like OEM (I am also running OEM pads) at a fraction of the cost of OEM.

Many places carry them, like tirerack.com and rockauto.com. Fronts are ~$60-70/rotor.

GCode, you can find anything you want by checking with our MARKETPLACE under vendor brakes. Prices are far better than the outside companys some members listed. DBA makes rotors for the Brembo system and that's high quality stuff at a reasonable price.

Gary, DBA's are definitely nice, but they are pretty pricey compared to Centric rotors, which are the basis for Stoptech stuff. OP stated he wasn't concerned about brand or performance, just price. And, FYI, our vendors are good, but Rockauto is as dirt cheap as I've found on the internet.

Brembo requires bigger rotors. Hence the Bigger calipers.

Good thread... i am also interested in upgrading my rotors to the slotted or drilled. I also am on stock Brembo Calipers... any issues with upgrading to brembo rotors and run on brembo calipers?

Centric Premium rotor blanks: are these slotted or drilled?
Brembo Sport Drilled rotors: cost on these?
