Well its that time to get new rotors for my car. I am looking to get some new ones. I really dont know which route I should go. I would like to step it up to some drilled Brembos but I am not looking to spend 300 on just rotors when I can get stock OEM replacements for 100$ all the way around and I really dont know if it is worth it or not? I would like some of your $.02.

 

just get some brembo blanks cause u can have them turned. Crossed drilled n slotted 1s can't be turned.

 

good point! dint think about that. I think the stock gsr comes with those.

 

i mean unless you are planning on stopping on a dime, and having the most "beast" brakes out there, whats the point?


i mean, if you want to buy all new calipers, lines, fluid, master clyinder, pads, rotors then yeah i would say spend 300$ on rotors. But if you just have a motor swap, and need to replace your brakes, then go with some decent upgrades. My .02

IE: i have brembo blanks on my civic with PBR ceramic pads. and I plan on replacing my lines with stainless lines, i also plan on replacing my master cylinder, and my fluid.


i wouldnt spend 300$ on a set of rotors, and still have the stock everything else.


not worth it.

 

yep thats what im thinking

 

I have brembo blanks and ceramic pads with ss lines and Super blue brake fluid on my hatch.. and they stop it with no issues at all.

 

do the lines and fluid make a big difference?

 

The fluid has a higher boiling point.. I'm sure that could make a difference.. and he lines def. improve pedal feel.

 

You could have your current ones turned for that matter.
