I could be way off here... but this looks like a right rear?? judging by the control arm in the pic and the exhaust pipe just above it and the single piston caliper plus the thick rotor hub, and ESPECIALLY the lack of threaded stub and nut for the front drive axle tell me its a rear... If so the left side rotor is on the right. Anyone else see what i mean? The slots and drill holes are going the wrong direction If its right side of the car.
Neat pieces though non the less, always have threatend to get some slotted ones.

I think you're right. It looks like the grooves would dissapate the heat tward the inside. The heat should go out tward the tires. If that made any sence........ Originally Posted by BAD LS1

Are those branded anywhere that they are actually Brembo? I was doing brakes for the BMW club a while ago and working with Brembo to get the Grand Turismo kit for the new M3. In doing so they make sure to tell me that they will only make slotted or drilled, due to the fact that Brembo does not make a drilled AND slotted rotor.
I'de love to be wrong, I have customers asking me about those quite often. I guess my question is if they are "Brembo style" or if they are actually made by Brembo. I'm not trying to be a **** at all, I would use that info at work.
Thanks

i'm not tryin to rag on you, but you probably got Brembo blanks (which you can get at most parts stores) and then the company drilled them.... that price is just too good

looks great when I did my brakes I didn't have a spare $180.
now that i'm free again and will have money, I'll be doing that. it's a shame that I don't have that.
too bad the kit for those w/ the GMPP front brakes is costlier.
but still
and paint dem calipers!Well, at the very least, I have an interesting back story.
