beaterKU Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 My GS is in need of a brake service and I am looking into replacing the rotors with a set of cross-drilled or slotted rotors. I am looking for comments on the various brands and any likes/dislikes. Any help or suggestions will be much appriciated. Thanks -Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyTelefunken Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Brembo's (non slotted, non drilled) work like a charm. You can go for the pad eating, noise making variety (slotted) if you think it makes you look cool. Tirerack has them for a reasonable cost. $66.00 for the front, $70.00 for the rear for a 2000 GS400 for example. IMHO a rotor is a rotor unless you're into racing. I've had every type of rotor available; drilled, slotted, cryogenically frozen, etc. and the car never stopped any better than with the plain ole' iron smoothies.

mwarrior Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 GuyTelefunken: The $66/$70 prices are for the plain ones. The cross drilled for long range driving do have a benefit, or slotted for coassional racing. Nick: If you want the cross drilled or slotted, I can get ya hooked up.

BRAKATK Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Are the Brembo others cad plated? I hate the corrosion that forms on the hub after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGS300 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Are the Brembo others cad plated? I hate the corrosion that forms on the hub after a while. Yes,usually it will be stated as well if they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAKATK Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 FYI-The Brembo OEM replacement rotors at Tirerack are NOT coated/plated and will corrode. Can anyone recommend a coating to spray on the hub portion? I was thinking of a heat paint or "Cast blast" -type coating. While we are at it, can anyone recommend a caliper paint brand or tips?

BA_GS400 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 While I have NOT used this particular product yet, I can tell you that "Eastwood" at www.eastwoodcompany.com has a great reputation, and I've used a lot of their other paints and products. They have some caliper paint as well that I've been wanting to buy. They truly sell quality stuff, check'em out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAKATK Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 ^^^^Thanks for the pointer. Their caliper and hub paints look pretty good. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
