[QUOTE="vipergts281, post: 1181018, member: 10912"] [b]Re: Re: Brake Rotor Questions[/b] Drilled and slotted are just that.....they drill/cast holes in the rotor and put slots in them. Dimpled are the same except instead of holes that go all the way through the rotor, they are just dimpled. And I got a few answers back from the guy who is selling those rotors on ebay. Copy and Paste from the email....... "We purchase the blank brake discs from brembo and dimpled/slotted them ourselves". "You are correct in many aspects. brembo do not have dimpled/slotted, they only have cross-drilled or slotted rotors". "In order to meet our customers preferences, we decided to just purchase the blank brake rotors from brembo and custom made for our customers. any designs our customers need we do, usually cross-drilled, slotted, drilled/slotted, dimpled, and dimpled/slotted. the reason why w/ zinc plated our rotors silver, is due to the rims/wheel on most cars are silver. i didn't think i would look right if you have gold cadium behind a silver 18 or 20 inch wheel". "There are so many rumors about the cross-drilled brake rotors that are prone to crack". "We have been doing the cross-drilled/slotted rotors since 1998, and we never once had any complaint or return because of the crack rotors. if the cross-drilled rotors are prone to crack, why would the best auto maker, Porsche and Mercedes Benz installed cross-drilled brake rotors on their brand new sport car straight out of the assembly line". "Correct, the full set (4 drilled/slotted brake rotors) is for $249.00 plus shipping. Brembo sells the same exact rotors (manufactured by BPC in the US and Canada) but w/ Brembo big red boxes for double the price". FYI, the guy I spoke with was very helpful and polite and answered my e-mails quickly. Seems like a good guy to do business with. I just bought Brembo plain rotors off of Tirerack.com for $130 a piece. So as you can see, $249 for all four is a steal. You just have to decide whether or not you want to risk running rotors that have been drilled/slotted after they have been cast. I also e=mailed Brembo. But they never got back to me. Good service there. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
