I looked at R1comcepts and they are basically the same or at most 1 lb less than factory?

Racing brake saves about 5.5lbs per front, and 6lbs per rear.

I know Wilwood makes rotors that are decently light - I could have sworn a member had them on his car, but will have to look for it.

Then I think Granatelli makes rotors - but I personally wouldn't buy anything from them. Well anything that you need to rely on anyway.

this thread turned into a pretty good read for brakes in general.

I asked why their brakes were better than stock and they said, well they are stock, Stock Brembo cores that are machined with slots and holes or dimples. The benefit stems from the slots and dimples


Anyway I paid $425.00 and could not pass up the deal. I will weigh them myself before i install them to confirm.
So you paid $425 for used OEM rotors that Granatelli resurfaced, drilled, and slotted? If you're happy about that that's all that matters. Personally I wouldn't trust a rotor that was drilled after-the-fact, way too big of a chance of it cracking because of it. That and the fact that they are used rotors is a little iffy already - I mean who knows how much life is left on them, they've already been resurfaced once. Can't imagine getting much life out of them to be honest.



Wilwoods were quoted to me at $4557 front and rear in Red or Black
If they gave you color options then that quote includes Wilwoods 6 piston calipers, so it's not just the rotors.


Tried to PM you but it would not work. Are you another victum of GMS or just following that other thread. I tend to want to hear from the real customers not the hear-say
I have space in my Inbox, so don't know why it wouldn't let you PM me - but I bought Granatelli's wires on the claim (and supposed proof) that they increased hp - funny how convincing a few dyno graphs can be. They were absolutely complete junk - barely lasted 3 months before falling apart on me. I didn't bother to try and get a refund, just cut my losses.


Well I just read this and it makes a lot of sence if you save 23lbs all around but it was hard to beat the $420 price for all 4. Plus on the surface their website does not really make it easy to see the 2010-2013 stuff for the camaro. Love the 23 save though - thats huge

They said they offered them Drilled, Slotted, Dimpled or any combination otherwise. I asked about cracking and they said LIFETIME warranty against cracking and warping. What more can I say - I will let you all know

$4557 was the whole package - here is there link http://granatellimotorsports.com/pro...d-1435-42.html

One place I wrote $425 and then I wrote 4420 - it was $425.00
