All of the OE Brembo rotors I've seen are pillar vane, not curved vane. Neither use straight vanes. The Stillen Sport Rotors are identical in internal venting to the OE rotors.

If you have curved vane OE rotors, please send me a picture of them. Thanks!

My bad, the stock Brembos are pillar vane, the after market brembos are curved.

No worries, thanks for checking. Far too often, changes are made on the assembly lines without my prior written approval!

Just look at the attachment....that is correct.
Also it was on the paper work from Stillen....rotors are also stamped L/R
I have installed the finest rotors / calipers made for a long time.....
I'll go the with manufacturer's instructions

OK.....I'm done

Not too happy with the Hawk pads (NOT speaking about performance as I just bedded them in this morning and there's more to go). On all 4 corners, only ONE has the low pad metal clip. The OEMs (all marked Brembo) have then on EVERY pad! Oh well...so much for the idiot notification

Install was very straightforward and got great help on how to remove the brake pads...

More pics after I clean The Beast - it is supposed to rain more this week ;(

Can you go bigger without changing the caliper?

Michael_Js · 01-26-2010, 04:39 PM

I think the answer is No...you would have to change the caliper for larger rotors...

How much did the powdercoat run you?
