Drilled rotor upgrade for the Brembos?

[Team STILLEN]

55Designs, you are saying you paid $609 for your Brembo rotors, but is this a price the average consumer can find these rotors, or was that a one time deal for you? If it was a one time deal, then it's a bit misleading to say you can find them for $600/set. I see them on tirerack.com for $379 front and $362 rear.

To answer questions about pricing, the pricing was released this morning.

Front rotors will cost $299.26 for the cross drilled, $311.74 for the slotted, and $342.94 for the drilled/slotted.

Rear rotors are $283.66 cross drilled, $296.02 slotted, and $327.34 drilled/slotted.

Prices are for a pair of rotors, and currently are free shipping ($9.95 handling/insurance per order)


I am cleared to take pre-orders for them with an estimated ship date of mid January.

PM or email me if you would like more info.

Great prices Dan! I assume that's the only "color" they come in since they're coated? What do you need for a preorder?

Also, what is the difficulty level installing these? Besides the obvious remove the wheels, and pads, calipers...

Thanks!

Michael,

Yes, they are only available in the silver zinc plating. They install exactly like stock....pretty easy. I also carry a variety of brake pads and Goodridge SS lines for those interested in upgrading those parts while they have everything taken apart.

To preorder, just call me up. I'll take your information now, then process your order and charge your credit card when the parts are ready to ship.

I e-mailed R1 Concepts a couple weeks ago and they said they are also in development. They make great drilled and slotteds for around 200 bucks a set.

Guys the price I got was for sure a one shotdeal I think they messed up because the tirerack has now raised the prices on them. I prepaid before they were released and I am a dealer.

Stillen prices are competative and I am for sure going to get the drilled/slotted versions and sell these Brembos to another guy.

I still am deliberating to install them or not. I like the Slotted/Drilled Stillen ones better but lets see the price. Im not in any hurry its winter for me anyway.

Slotted works best thats my experience the drilled just looks more obvious to the naked eye as a mod. Thats why the Stillen ones give best of both worlds i would think.

Brembo also told me they are offering a Caliper only upgrade to use the OEM rotors, you can do a large 6 pot up front and 4 pot out back. its still costly around $4500 for both sets.

I think for 80% of us the stock stuff is fine with new pads, lines and basic rotors these big brake kits are pricey and overkill for most.

so you have slotted brmebos now and you dont want them? if you want to get rid of them let me know. ill take them off of your hands. i wanted slotted over drilled basically for performance more than look. and i would personally rather have the rotors from the company that makes the brakes because you know it works together and can handle what you put it through. let me know if your interested in dumping them or if you can hook me up on a set.

Just so you know, Stillen has a brake only division (www.brake-pros.com). We have been producing brake upgrades for nearly 20 years. We are currently THE ONLY North American distributor for AP Racing road car brakes, and have been for years. Those of you familiar with motorsports and ultra high performance cars should know about AP Racing. Their brake components are found in nearly every racing series, and on many of the highest performance cars in the world. It could be said that we know a bit about brakes. Stillen isn't a 1 man shop buying the cheapest blanks available and machining them in a backroom somewhere.

The rotors that Stillen is releasing for the 2010 Camaro are a true OE quality rotor. Without going into boring details, they are produced using the same manufactirung techniques as the original equipment rotors. This means using tooling that is much more expensive than your average aftermarket brake rotor, but also results in a much higher quality part.

Rest assured, our rotors will stand up to anyone's both quality and performance wise.

The Camaro rotors won't be ready for release until mid January. There are pics of the GT500 rotors in this thread which will be nearly identical in looks.

The rotors themselves are the same weight as stock. The slotting process will reduce the weight by a few ounces, but you won't see any significant weight reduction out of any 1 piece rotor.

We are working on a 2 piece rotor that will be substantially lighter than the 1 piece rotors but that's a few months out still.

Absolutely.

To answer the "which is better" question, there really isn't a "better". Slotted/drilled and drilled rotors are fine for the street, and even mild track use. For heavier track use i'd recommend slotted only.

FYI, both the Stillen Ford GT and GT-R race cars run slotted and drilled AP Racing rotors. Those cars get beaten 7 day 1000+ mile rally races all over the world and have performed flawlessly.

LIFETIME WARRANTY AGAINST WARPING? i'd be very interested, i've already warped 1 set of front rotors, getting ready to take it back for a 2nd set of warranty front rotors, i keep warping the front ones, car has just under 5k on it, first pair started to warp at about the 3k mark, second set after 1.5k of aggresive street driving, i can only imagine if i do a track day how bad they will be.
