Ok ive been waiting over 2 weeks for these items to show up,

Im looking for Z23 30mm Front Brembo Cross Drilled and slotted rotors, Before i needed them, they were selling 30 of them, Now they dont have just the front, they only have F & R, and what they have for the front is not Brembo, so now im stock with my calipers and lines but no rotors?

Anyone selling them? any sites? I know Nopi, but they have the regular ones

Brembos are worth the money. Do some research.

If you're just looking to upgrade, and want something right now, yes autozone will have rotors, but you will have to get them redrilled in 4x114.3. Have you tried our sponsors yet?

I have SP Performance drilled and slotted (and diamond slotted) rotors available.

Same thickness, weight and spec as Brembo, not those cheap Taiwanese knock-offs.

E-me at [email protected] for pricing.

$22 each? Must be the cheap Taiwanese knockoffs.

I'll bet they weigh HALF of what the OEM's weigh, and that's not good.... :(

I promise you if you install a set of brembo d&s rotors you will feel a difference. Even on stock pads.

Totaly worht the money, probably the most bang for the buck mod i've done.

I ordered Brembo blanks from Nopi for $22 a piece and they aren't low quality. It's the same s*** I'd get at autozone for $60. Yeah, Brembos aren't worth the money..:rolleyes

Nissan-S14, why do you need drilled and slotted rotors? I just think it's retarded to pay to pay 4 times as much for brake rotors when you can just drill/slot rotors done at a machine shop.

too much heat, during drag racing, regular rotors and pads just cant handle it. I swear right now, with my 240 sx stock brakes, i pray after every race they work normally lol. I press the brakes and they hardly brake, I need high pressure heat rotors and pads. I cant deal with this stock brakes, makes me nervous. And during rain, i feel like i have no brakes. Even though the pads are full

Well you may just need new rotors, rather than drilled/slotted, but get what you wish. It may just be your brake fluid. It sounds like it's been boiled.

You are getting brake fade which will be fixed by the bigger Z rotors, but cross drilled and slotted will do nothing but look bling and compromise the structure of the rotor, then tend to crack. If you REALLY want Brembo cross drilled and slotted, you'll be paying alot more because most of what you find are brembo blanks that are drilled and slotted by someone else. Brembo wont validate any warranty on those, they'll eat up your pads faster, and may crack or warp under stress. Real Brembo blanks is what you need, and some good brake fluid and pads. Cross drilling and slotting used to be done as a way to help gasses escape from the pads because it would form a layer between the pad and rotor and hinder braking performance. Pad compounds have changed since then and no longer produce these gasses, so all you're doing by CD & S is taking away mass which is what you need to help prevent brake fade caused by heat. Go take a gander at the wheel and suspension forum to find out more.
