brembo brake quest.
Does anyone have these installed??????????- the Brembo OEM with the drilled holes? [/B]I have the OEM 16" rims and tires. But would like better braking power.
I'm sure there probably better than the mercedes OEM's; If I had the cash I would just upgrade to the bigger ones that cost 2k and put some 18's or 19's; but for now I would go with the regular Brembo OEM rotors with the drilled holes or slots. Does anone have these installed? and how are they??

I have em, got em when my stock rotors were warped a little. I cant tell any difference really in braking performance, but I dont do alot of high speed emergency stops to test them. Be sure to properly break them in, It might be a good time to put some new pads on there too.They do look better than stock, just be sure to get the cadmium plating or some rust deterrent, they dont look as nice all rusty. Also most cross drilled rotors will squeal a little.

I have the front Brembo brake kit w/ 4 Piston calipers, brand new brake pads, and the hook up conversion to make it oem with your abs system. I might sell them for the right price......i will even give you wheel spacers. But it might not even matter, because i think you need at least a 18" wheel to fit them so...

ohh by the way, before these i had the stupid brembo drilled rotors. Dont waste your money on them, no difference, acually i lied, the only difference was they used more of your brake pad and creatd 10x more brake dust.

Yea I only got mine to replace the stock ones that were warped, now that you mention it I think I do get more brake dust since I changed em. Not sure about the pads wearing faster though. So in essence dont get them as an upgrade, maybe only as a replacement.
