85 GS Front Brake Rotors Brembo vs. Napa
Well, in my experience, Brembo is THE name in brakes. Usually, any 'ricer' brand of brakes is actually manufactured by Brembo, they're that good (historically). So, I guess, from a logical, historical standpoint, go with the brembos if they're the same price.
A word of caution with reference to Brembo brake rotors. There are Brembo rotors which have what Brembo calls Pillar venting & Brembo rotors have the part number & Brembo logo stamped on the outside of the rotor. Check the Brembo site for the vent details. When I went through this Brembo **** with my parts house he couldn't beleive all the Brembo rotor bullshit. I also talked to Brembo about the knock off bullshit & they aggreeded it a fact of life. If the rotor has anything like "made in Japan" stamped on the rotor hub it's not a Brembo rotor. The REAL Brambo rotors cost me around $30 each for the front & the rear was similar in cost. There is another rotor that comes in a Brembo box that is not a Brembo rotor (it has vane venting). There is also a Brambo rotor that comes in a red/white box knock off from China.
