However, since I do the car show circuit, I am constantly plagued by lots of brake dust and squealing from under 5mph. When I called Brembo, they told me to expect it since these are high performance pads..For what it's worth, I should have stayed with the oem brakes. I know I would have been happier, besides not having to spend all those $$$$$..They do, however look great and for a show car, that's what it's all about..An expensive lesson learned..BRUTE

If you ever decide to sell the Brembo Brake kit let me know!

Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead, but I did a search for rotors, and this one caught my eye.

I have heard similar about cross-drilled rotors, but if all of this is true, why does my Porsche have cross-drilled rotors (along with other high-end sports cars), and has some of the best braking numbers on the market? And we all know that Porsche is know for their incredible brakes, most of which are cross-drilled. Plus, they're made by Brembo.

So, has anyone had any success with changing rotors or just pads? I'm looking for an upgrade.

Thank you,

Charles

I bought a set of powerstop drilled and slotted rotors for both front and rear of my h2 a couple month ago off of ebay. I paid like $250ish for 4 rotors and front/rear pads. I was VERY sceptical of the purchase but they had like 100% feedback. And I am very happy with them. Powerstop is a good brand. When i was a ricerboy they had a good name with the import crowd.

I did the breakin on them. I can tell you where I really notice the difference is when I am towing my boat they do a much better job of stopping the truck and trailer. My trailer has crap ass brakes that never work, they are surge drums. My boat and trailer are somewhere between 3500-4k lbs.

For day to day driving I really cannot tell. However I am very easy on my breaks. I got over 100K miles out of my original factory breaks.
