Not sure, but if you want you can test them out for all of us but if they aren't made correctly they can crack over time. That's why everyone always wants brembo because of they way they make them so they wont crack or break.

rynberg

They should be perfectly fine for street use. They will not last for track work.

They look uncannyly similar to the brembo rotors I got from Gotham. Anyway more for looks. Day to day driving won't see much of a diff other than better brake feel if you are getting the stainless steel hoses. Track use maybe you will experience less brake fade. Advise to spend the money on engine mods!

I agree with rynberg. I had same rotors from ebay for about 2 years or more and they where very good for everyday street use, don't know about the axis pads thought never had those!
Great price I'd definitely go for it.

i would stay away, as fae as i know it is bad to have both cross drilled and slotted rotors, it weakens the rotor, its better to get either one but not both

I got all the engine mods that i need for now.

you can hear my brakes GRIND when i stop. they screech when you drive around so brakes are needed BAD.

rynberg

Sounds like you just need new pads. You only need new rotors if yours have cracks or are thinner than minimum spec.

hahaha no i need rotors also........ they are WARPED to hell. u can see that they are warped. when u turn the brake rotor with the rim off you can see it.

i have no idea what the owner befor me did to my poor fd.... f*cked up front bumper interior peices are all f*ck up.
3 SPOKE RIMS OMG thank god that they are gone.

just get a set of brembos from turboimports.com

i am gonna give em a shot. i think there is some1 else on ebay selling just the rotors for $200 & some change. worse comes to worse I am out $200. I would just keep an eye on em to make sure they aren't cracking. Brake rotors aren't rocket science. I don't think brembo can be doing 3 times as good a job. but hey i could be wrong. i would definitely caliper them before i put them on and verify the thickness is within specs.

a different choice might be the RX7stores brake upgrade(rotors, pads, & ss lines) for under $600. For some reason I would trust that before the ebay ones, but they are probably the same thing. I just feel that I would be able to get better customer service out of an established store and not some dude on ebay.

pugg57

check your prices again this is a set of zinc coated (center hubs, vents and slots won't rust) slotted and dimpled Brembos for all four wheels, a good set of new brake pads AND bradided stainless steel lines delivered to your door for $455, yes that includes shipping trust me, they fell mmm mmm good on the car

dis1

I run those pads. They are a great street/track combo pad. Not perfect for one or the other but a good cheap compromise.

AntiVenom7

well slap me and call me a b!tch. i guess i would go with the turbo import kit for $455 shipped.

pugg57

JMunilla, you're a bitch sorry that's the closest i could find to a slap. its an excellent package. i have two minimal complaints about it. there is a mild fitment issue with the brake lines (sometimes) but its about a 5 minute fix with a dremel. the other is that there is a slight card-in-the-bike-spokes noise when driving next to a wall/cattle chute but i only hear it with the radio off and windows down.

saxyman990

Agreed. I have these, and I experienced the same problem. Slightly annoying that they wouldn't quite fit, but for that price, it's hard to complain.

The Axis brake pads are okay for the street. They seem very similar in performance to Hawk HPS pads.

Scrapiron7

I've had both for over 3 years and not had a single problem.

AntiVenom7

what would cause the card-in-the-bike-spokes sound?

S4V10R_X

brakes wise i still opt for brembo!

they have the best brakes ever!

i don't think i have confidence in those brakes that was sold in e-bay, it seems weak!

dis1

They are Brembo rotors

for anything other than looks, i believe you are wasting your time and money getting drilled and slotted rotors. unless you are at the track alot, a set of solid brembos are your best bet imo. with modern brake pads, drilling or slotting is unnecessary for street/occasional track use and in fact hurts braking performance as you have less swept area in contact with the pads. some advocate slotts to help scrape the pads and keep them from getting glazed, but again, with mostly street use it's not an issue.

RX7_21

RX7WEEE, if you want to save some money why don't you go to those machinery shop and ask them to drilled ur stock rotors. Usually in vegas they only charge $150 for the service if u know them personally. i'm not sure about what they charge in ur area.

pugg57

the ones on turbo imports aren't drilled, they are dimpled. its just a little dimple not the whole way through so it doesn't weaken the rotor as much. the card in the spokes noise i believe is from the non-chamfered brake pad edges making contact with the slots. who knows though, maybe my mechanic just did a suckie job they work really well to me though so i'm not complaining.

AntiVenom7

thanks pugg. i thought you go the noise even when you werent braking. talk about annoying.

Joshbham

i am ordering a set of project mu front 2 peice rotars with mu pads all the way around with braided lines and power slot in the rear, i figure if your going to do it you have to go all out. but the kit does not look to bad for day to day use. just let us know how you like them
