Brembo Vented Rotors Question
 

Just curious as to if anyone has ordered them. I got a set for my fronts but they don't match up. I got em off Nopi.com Just wondering if anyone else had them and i was just overlookin something. Otherwise shipped back they be goin.

Thanks for help and opinions..

Plz define "dont match up"?

Im gonna take a crack at this.

As far as i know brembo only makes rotors for the older tibs & elantras which have captive rotors. They dont fit anything after 99 for tibs, or 98 for elantras.

Have no fear they are goin back to where i got them. Having the originals ground to non warped state, and will wait to get something worth the trouble when i get a round to it again. rolleyes.gif

I played e-mail tennis with Strano Parts because the company they dealt with did not know what year Tiburons had the CAPTIVE and NON-CAPTIVE set ups.

You can check www.stranoparts.com and www.kvrperformance.com.

KVR has cross-drilled rotors for $130 (front) and $106 (rear).

Stranoparts has solid rotors which can be cross-drilled for an extra $20, (which I would not recommend), for $65 (front) and $68 (rear).

The reason I wouldn't recommend the cross-drilled option is because the rotors are drilled after they are manufactured which can weaken them, (not to exact specs), as they would be at the factory.

Hope this helps.

*Bows down to the Hootie* Mucho thanks for help! So while i have your attention, do you know anything about the Wave Rotors. I can't find a link at the moment. But they are basically not rounded edges.. Lemme know if you have no idea what i'm talking about. Thanks again!!

I have seen them before and they seem a bit gimmicky. I'm sure they would look great on a show car but by just looking at them, I honestly don't see how the rolling edge would help in braking. Plus I am sure they would be quite expensive.

Booooo.....KVR sucks :mad:

I have their slotted rotors with semi-metalic carbon fiber pads. The pads wore out @ under 20,000 miles, were supposed to dust less but provided more brake dust than before, the rotors warped easily after 6 months!

I tried contacting KVR myslef, and the "president" treated his customers like inferior children! I posted the info and conversations on a few message boards, and he registered on a few and threatend me over the email! Good company, no.

Now I have some semi metalic lifetime brake pads from autozone for $29.99 and they will last forever. Provide great breaking, less duts, and I'll never have to buy a set again. For Rotors, I chose Stillen as they are non corrosive as Brembos.

Their lifespan is significantly shorter than regular brake pads. Also, in regards to the rotors, most people that I know that have aftermarket rotors gave me 3 recommendations: WILLOWOOD, BREMBO and KVR.

I even questioned them on some negative claims about their products and they were more than forthcoming with information. Maybe you caught them on a bad day. :D
