Ummm, try the Terminator section :??:

They are not real Brembo rotors.

I'd say thats a hell of a deal. Ones that i've seen, not including Brembo (which tend to be more expensive), were $150 just for the front.

 

[hmmmidunno]

yeah my friend johnny's ordered some brembo's for his supra and his corolla off ebay dont remember which seller but they are authentic brembo's

 

[UD LOSE]

If they are REAL Brembos, why do they include the following statement:

"We use the same proven methods as braking giants such as Brembo and Zimmerman."

I concur...

 

[SHOLANDO]

This is the reply I received when I asked about shipping and if they were REAL Brembos:
"S&H IS 35 and yes they are Brembo rotors. Thanks"

 

[Stangkillin99ss]

hes lying, they will crack and warp in no time. Trust me ive had them. they SUCK!:burn:

 

[Vanride69]

heres the line that "cracks" me up....

"We use the same proven methods as braking giants such as Brembo and Zimmerman. These are proven techniques and rigorously tested. We warranty our parts against warping and cracking for 90 days"

they straight up admit they arent real brembos, then proceed to say they only warranty them from cracking and warping for 3 months. Thats about when shit will start to go wrong. nothing is gonna happen b4 90 days.

Fraud...but who's gonna prosecute? Nobody.

Correction: They ARE real Brembos (if it says "BREMBO" on them). HOWEVER, Brembo does NOT cross drill AND slot their rotors. The ONLY reason these say "Brembo" on them is because they were sold by Brembo as OEM replacements, and then drilled/slotted by whoever bought them/sold them on ebay.

If you read Brembo's site you'll see their drilled OR slotted rotors are zinc plated as well. So, while they may have originally been "real" Brembos, after drilling and slotting them they lose the structural integrity they had, hence, not the same Brembos and not anything Brembo would sell.

Most of that information's from a Brembo rep I asked about that very same thing while putting a GP together

1. They are REAL BREMBO'S. They buy mass quantity blank rotors, and they drill and cross drill them themselves. They use the CNC Machine. THEY WILL CRACK, and BRAKE! DO NOT GET THOSE IF YOU WANT PERFORMANCE, I would say for looks okay.

WhiteSaleen: Isnt that what I said? What they buy are the ones that Brembo sells intended for OEM replacement and not meant to be drilled or slotted Crack? Almost guaranteed.

Sorry, you jus wrote to much, I was lazy to read .. CREDIT GIVEN TO YOU MY GOOD MAN! :rockon:

You'd be surprised how many people dont realize it though They say "It says Brembo so it MUST be real". OR, "Why would I buy Brembo Cobra rotors for around $500 when I can get the same from eBay that're cross drilled AND slotted for $200?" :|
