Hi Guys,
I`m planing to buy some brake rotors for my brembo front brakes and I am stuck with which one I should get. I narrowed the choices available for TL type S to :

1. Brembo sport Slotted or Drilled rotors.

2. EBC Ultimax slot rotors.

3. Rotora Crossdrilled and Slotted rotors.

4. Stoptech Drilled and Slotted rotors.

All these rotors are priced about the same. I need some feedbacks and some expert opinions before I buy any rotors...!!!

Thanks,

John

Racing Brake Slotted with their ET series pads.

Check vendors Excelerate and Mr. HeelToe for info, prices, etc on most/all of the brands listed.

But they are darn expensive.... Almost double the cost....

I have #1 with Brembo pads & am very happy with them.

fyi. the reason the 4 choices you mentioned are priced the same is because they are the same... did you find a difference in them except for color and packaging?

2-Peice = Light Weight (unsprund weight, BTW) and better cooling.

Thanks bearcat... I agree the Racing brake are one of the best available... But they are out of my budget.... If u were u pick from the list which one would be the better one !!

- I only have experience with OE Brembo, Stoptech and RB.

At one time I thought RB had 1-peice rotor for the MT/TL-S fronts; but, yeah, the intial cost on those 2-piece will make you think twice. In the long run the cost improves because the disc itself is a reasonable price when it needs to be replaced.

mmade22 has Stoptech Slotted and I think he likes them, but had to try twice to find the right pad for them.

I've got Stoptech Slotted w/ RB ET Pads on the rear of my '02 and they seem fine.

I'd *guess*, from your list, that the best value (cost/performance) will be Stoptech or Rotora.

So how much for a pair of these rotors?

All those companies make great products. We have extensive experience with ROTORA and STOPTECH. Both are great companies. ROTORA rotors are used by thousands of members here on Acurazine and with great results.

Just to give you an additional incentive, if you buy ROTORA rotors on our webstore (http://store.excelerateperformance.com) use promo code AZ ROTORA to get an additional discount on the rotors.

I haven't tried them, but the BMW guys have been very happy with Brakeplanet.com rotors:

They have blanks and drilled/slotted versions.

Absolutely. Shoot me an email with your list of parts you want to buy at the same time and your zip code and vehicle info and I'll get you a quote. I need to know whether you want front and/or rear slotted or drilled/slotted rotors and if you want pads, stainless steel brake lines, etc.
