Talking Brembo Brakes

I put my Brembo cross drilled rotors on my 93 Alty, and I love the new brakes. I felt a big difference in braking performance. I highly reccomend them.

Crossdrilling otherwise completly stock rotors do not make a big difference! Brembo OEM replacment rotors are just stock rotors made by Brembo.

Yes, but I was told the quality in the metal that Brembo uses was better than OEM. But if not, I still felt a difference in the braking performance. Maybe it's just those holes, hehe. Although only there to disapate heat. IDK?

Nissan OEM rotors I believe are made by Brembo. And like he said, those holes arnt doing much for you, other then reducing the thermal capacity of the rotor and reducing its structural integrity.

You probably feel a difference because they're new. New brakes are always surprising because your replacing a wear item that you use so often you don't notice the slow gradual weaking of the system. As soon as you replace them it's like "bam! these suckers stop!"
