hey guys, i was wondering if there are any rotors, oem replacement for TL 04, maybe like brembo?? if so where can i get them? i checked ebay but most of them are for 00-03 2nd gen.

the 6MT for the 3G TL are brembos

Stoptech offers them for the 5AT TL... if you have a 6MT, they have them for the back, but not the fronts. If you want BBK for your 5AT, Rotora and Brembo make a kit. Lokius is working with Willwood to also make front and rear BBKs for the TL

brembo makes a replacement CD/S rotor for the 04-05 tl. (auto) I bought them with axxis pads. I have yet to have them installed. Rotora makes one also.

only the pads and calipers

Check this site out....options for us that have AUTO and not MT.

Let me know if guys out there have any experience with STOPTECH.

Man I keep waiting to see CD/S for the 6MT. I really just want it for the cosmetic appeal then anything else.

Wow. $2400 for the Brembo setup.

Rotora has crossdrilled and slotted rotors available.

trancemission

yeah but not for the 6MT.

you can get them for around 100 bucks,,
for the manuel or auto any year range
slotted or cross drilled or both,,
if you ask real nicely, i will tell you where,,later

Just another way to jack up the price on their cars. 99.9% of the Benz owners have absolutely no need for cross drilled rotors. Cross drilled rotors don't work any better than non drilled rotors unless the temps are sustainable very high, like they are on the track.

Why would he need to ask nicely? And BTW, you don't run cross-drilled on the street. Dimpled/slotted work best !

why not? mercedes rotors are cross drilled

I didnt see any for the 6MT fronts there. I may have been looking in the wrong place though

trancemission

btw 2 fast TLs, if your post looks any different its because I accidentally hit edit it when I was meaning to quote it. rookie mistake.....sorry bro..

2_FastTLs

No 6MT there, only for 5AT. Sorry if I missed that from the original post. Other 6MT rotors are hard to find.

cross drilled make a big difference-cause it lets heat go out and stops warping
street or not street doesnt matter,its all about heat
you can take any stock car i a can warp brakes in a second
i only said you can get either or both,i dont care ,most people get them for looks.
til you go to carbon rotors any stock rotor will warp due to heat ans crappy metals factorys make them from
so yes cross drill do work better on the street too
case in point my wife
she rides the brakes and honda(acura) make some of the shittist rotors out there
after her warping three factory rotors up front,i had to get cross drilled to make it go away
now you wont stop shorter from them just makes them last longer
and what you where tring to say is racing pads are not good fro the street cause it takes very high heat to even make them work

and never get your rotors turned,,lol ,that only makes them thinner and the warp even faster
only way to remove heat is a larger rotor or cross drilledor slotted
so there,lol
any body up for some taco bell?

acura101west

also the only time i will chimm in here is when i know the answer,
all the things i talk about i went thru already
try stopping a 10 second car on stock brakes from 150mph

2_FastTLs

Wrong. Cross drilled rotors are mainly used to allow out-gasing of the pads to escape to avoid gas-planing of the pad against the rotor face. Cross drilled rotors need to be larger than it's non-drilled counterpart because when you drill holes you remove contact surface area.

A standard rotor with swept cooling vanes would be best for street use as they maximize the frictional surface area while incorporating a better cooling system by using swept cooling vanes.

Warping is typical of a rotor that is not homogeneous, hence a heat treating process or cryo-genics process of the rotor prior to use will typically rid that issue. After all, all rotors are simple hunks of "iron".

Oh, don't trust me, just ask the folks at BAER and Brembo.

acura101west

you dont loose any thing with drilled,you take heat out,i sould say nothing a street car will notice,also stock system using brembos name is not the same ones they sell aftermarket(im taking about tl-not real one like on high end cars)
rotors warp from to much heat,any metal does
take a stock honda/acura and do 10 hard stops in a row from freeway speeds and you will warp the rotors
do the same with cross drill and nothing
yes slotted work better and yes cross drill crack too you missed that one,
but for normal people and normal they workl fine plus better then stock
people do it for looks,

You do lose with cross-drilled if the rotor diameter is not proper sized. It's very easy to cross-drill a set of oem rotors, but that rotor will perform worse than the same non-drilled rotor because of two things. 1) the "heat sink" just became a "smaller" heat sink, and 2) the frictional surface by which heat transfers to the heat-sink has become less. Both bad for a heat moving system (aka brakes).

Going to cross-drilled rotors (for the purpose of needing cross-drilled rotors) means that the rotor diameter (and possibly thickness) needs to be increased.

The holes really don't cool during the time when the brakes are applied. The heat is still transferring into the metal perpendicular to the rotor face, then as the area around each hole cools slightly the heat will migrate towards that area, in effect cooling the rotor.

For the street, a simple slotted or dimpled rotor (or combo of) works just fine. I guess Benz feels their buyers are track drivers so they put cross drilled rotors on some of their cars.
