Cheap Brembo rotors

[naughtika]

Thanks for the update, will order these when funds come in..

Price gone up? i'm on the hunt again for rotors.

 

[naughtika]

from what trinet told me.. shipping is around $250 USD.. probably total is around $600 AUD to get a set to your door..

dont care if it cost up to $800 as long as it does the job and doesn't squeal like a B!TCH

 

[Scottie]

For $400 i was keen but $600 i will pass..

 

[naughtika]

RDA ones do work but they squeal on our cars..

 

[Scottie]

I only need fronts but thought for that price would get a set. Mine don't spueal anymore because of the Elig pads..

I assume, you have the Elig 2021's? also are you on Brembo's or just 2 pots?

For $600, i would rather pay another $200 and get ADR approved slotted rotors.

Regarding the squealing.. mine is also squealing like a bitch. I had the exact same thing happen with my silvia when i went 33 brakes. Tried machining the rotors, special spray, a soft compound pad, these things only worked for a few days, a week tops. Got some slotted rotors and they never squealed again.

One of my theories is that it is a resenance sound, so maybe the slots have some effect on that?

Still, i am using solid rotors and changing the pads fixed it for me. Strange how some people get it and others don't even with the exact same pad/rotor/car combo.

My car came with brembo's and slotted rotors. Never had 1 bit of squeal (pads unknown)

I got a feeling its Brake Master Cylinder related. Its the only variable I can see which is different on an evo.

 

[TomTom]

Evo's don't have squealing issues? I' ve heard some real bad ones... 2 performance workshops recommended Project Mu NS to me, no squealing and only minor dust and still 100x better then stock Brembo pads.

 

[Scottie]

Think he might just mean that on Evo's, some that don't squeal have different Master Cylinders?

I went on a Evo cruise once and 9 out of the 10 Evo's had it, the one that didn't, had Endless calipers..

Girlfriends Evo did it all the time, different discs, pads etc..

 

[steveP]

Hmm i wasnt aware than Evo's squealed as well.

So Tom, how have these rotors worked out for you?
