so someone post some places where everyone can buy authentic brembo rotors for our cars
TireRack has Brembo rotors.
Power Slot rotors are Bradi rotors which are just as good as Brembo.
iRotors should have Brembo rotors, you just need to confirm.
Slotted are the ones where there are lines thru the rotor, right?
and drilled are basically holes in the rotors?
What are cross rotors?
Sorry for the newbie question but it's time for me to replace my front rotors and I have no clue where to start.
Slotted rotors have a shallow groove that is generally only machined out as deep as the rotor's minimum thickness specification.
Yes, drilled rotors are holes that are drilled through the braking surface.
Drilled rotors, if they are not cast into the rotor do, after prolonged periods, have a tendancy to crack. But they should last a long time. My preference is to have slotted only as they generally have less issues with cracking at high temps. However since the IS is my commute car, I don't think I need to worry about that.
Once again, nice write-up Hiroshima!! Thanks for the heads up.

Alright fellas, i'm gonna give this old thread a nice new bump.
I just ordered my rotors from ebay.... yes ebay! How was it? well from the looks of this thread, they either matched brembo's quality or it's a genuine brembo rotor.
I purchase my rotors from the seller 'complete-stop'. He has a pretty good rating (99.3% w/ 1200 feedbacks). I was at first reluctant to purchase from ebay from all the horror stories. After a bit of research (about 3 days worth), i finally took the dive and went for it. I went with the brembo blanks. From the past, drills and slots only caused more problems for me (even w/ the good stuff). According to this thread, the rotors were exactly depicted as genuine. I haven't measured or weighted the brakes yet, but they seem pretty close to the specs. The brembo stamp and the machined inner lip is there.
I must warn members that if you purchase the drill/slot from the same seller, this may not be the case. The drill/slot rotors are "Brembo OEM Blank Rotors Engineered and Machined by PB in USA."
Hope this gives some members some relief when ordering their rotors from outside retailers. I'll be installing this tonight after my finals, i'll continue to provide feedback on any issues. Happy modding.
I warped my rears to much that I cut them to min thickness and have had to live with it for the last 8 months. The fronts just warped again over time from there. I AM harder on my brakes than the average user though, hell I have heat stressed my Azenis' to the point that the surface looks like bubble gum.

how are those treating you? I was also thinking of buying from the same seller.. he is local to me so i can check it out myself.
They're actually okay. I orginally purchased the set to get rid of a noise i thought was caused by warped rotors; however the new ones have the same noise. So basically, there were no performance difference between my oem old rotors, and the new brembos.
i walked into the "complete-stop" ebay sellers store today.. they are Performance Brakes located in Santa Ana, CA. I inspected everything before i bought. Genuine OE Brembo blanks that were made in Italy. Definitely buy with confidence from this eBay seller. Will take pictures and stuff if desired.
