Rotors and Break Pads

[Thr3zus]

What is are some good Rotors I don't want to break the bank either on these.

I put Brembo brake pads since we have stock Brembo brakes, but my back pads squeak a lot and leave I believe dust rings on the rotors. The front ones do not. I feel they put the rear ones on wrong. Can someone help?

Looking at these? What do everyone think? Good set-up or not? Need opinions?

I'm just guessin' here, but, if I had my opinion, I'd say that if you think that you might have put the pads on wrong, then maybe you don't really know what you're doing, and should let someone else do it.

I didnt put them on myself. A local shop did.

I use those pads on my 2010 they are an excellent street pad. Low dust good stopping power.

The Brembo stock pads are awful, squeaky and high dust.

As for the rotors if you really like the look sure, but keep in mind the slots and holes eat the pads up, they really provide no performance benefit (except in wet weather a slight bit). They are a lot of money though for something you can get way cheaper. Stock style solid rotors are fine.

Offers many variants at any price point.

The black hats and vanes offer a nice look, they last well and perform perfectly.

Where did he even say that? Attitudes like that are why this place went downhill and long term members like myself barely post anymore. Grow up.

I used those pads for 5 years and loved them. But for the rotors, go with slotted/dimpled. It seemed there were a lot of issues with the 'drilled' rotors and heat causing them to warp more. That is mainly from what I read and understood on the forum. But I never had any issues with those pads on my slotted/dimpled rotors, and that was using it on the track and dragstrip.

Thanks for the informations I do some more looking. And I just brushed that comment off seems just a simple misread by him.

Thank you for the information. I will do more looming into the drilled vs dimpled/slotted. And I'll talk the R1 concept guy that was linked to me about to get more information on them. Appreciate the info.

EXCUUUUSE me.....I admit I read it too quick, and I was wrong. I'll try & grow up, I can't guarantee it, but I can only try.

Even the Op said that he thought I had simply misread it......Thanks OP!

No problem its understandable everybody reads things to fast or misread stuff all the time. I'm not mad about it. I reread it myself and could easily see how it could be misinterpreted.
