Question BREMBO rotors any good?

Hey Guys,

I need to change my rotors and brake pads on my Sentra.

I went to a local shop and they have BREMBO cross drilled rotors and KVR carbon Pads in stock.

Will I noticed a great difference w/crossdrilled or should I just buy a set of Original Nissan pads and rotors?

Can you drive in the winter w/crossdrilled or will I end up ruining them.

Do the rotors last as long as Originals and will I be replacing brake pads all the time?

Re: BREMBO rotors any good?

I bought brembo sport(oem replacement) slotted rotors front & back with axxis ultimate brake pads at all corner the last summer.

I did lapping on a regular basis the last summer and with my setup, i don't find that the brembo disc made any difference.

I will bought brembo(plain) again only if i find a place where they are cheaper than the oem. They are not better or worst either.

Into normal driving situation and with rotor at the same size? I don't think you will feel a difference.

If you buy these rotors, do it for the looks not for their efficiency.

It could be possible that ice fill into the hole and expand/crack your rotors. Except that it more the look that will be ruined(rust).

I use my oem rotor at the rear and really cheap rotor(25$/each) a the front for winter.

If you don't use an agressive break pads, it will last nearly as long.
