So I took a risk to improve my braking on my ST and I bought these off of E-bay.

They are direct OEM repalcement, Cross drilled and slotted rotors for the front

My Webpage

SO far they work pretty good, but I have noticed that my brakes sometimes smell like they are burnt. Im not too sure yet, so I will update this page as I drive and brake my car more.

brake my car or break my car? lol just playin...

Are they a 'proper' make that are made cross drilled or are they a normal set that have been cross drilled after they've been manufactured? I've heard stories of the drilled after manufacture ones shattering.

Also they are normally coated in a film to prevent them corroding while they are on the shelf, you will probably just be wearing that film off mate. Should stop smelling after a while (unless you are braking really hard all the time - then it'll be your pads!)

did u put new pads on too or just the rotors, also i hope you didnt pay over 200 bux for just 2 rotors.

dang your ripped yourself a new one buying those....shoulda just gone to nopi

but otherwise they look nice

i'd never trust non brand name drilled rotors. those are probably drilled AFTER casting and the holes not even chamfered.


also, you DO know you have to clean off the oily coating on the rotor when you get them, otherwise you'll contaminate the pads.

yeah they do have the oil on them aswell as the other coating. get rid of that too.

I have cross drilled/sloted, they didnt do anythign but be worse than stock replacments. Mine warped on me the first month. I installed them and broke them in properly as well. I think there going again because when i start softly breaking at higherspeeds im getting the stearing wheel shake.

My point, good luck, but really from what Ive seen, dont expect much.

(Note: I got the ones from nopi, im gunna get the blank brembo ones next if there needed

try powerslot rotors, i have them on my car and they're great. ive put some HARD stops on them without warping. several times from 80+ down to 10mph without any warpage

they're brembo rotors at heart, then powerslot slots and plates them.

They seems to be working great for the mean time, and they are holding up. I'll post more as I go, but they do seem a little better than stock OEM. If it breaks on me well, I won't be on for a while.

This is a quick follow up and they have been working very good since I got them, no warping and no cracking. They can withstand the abuse I throw at them for mad stopping power. Overall, they are a good buy, but they do rust sitting.

check your bearing before putting on another rotor
