I am looking at order a set of the Brembo brake discs shown in the link above for my 1995 4x4 4Runner. Anyone have experience with this manufacture or this style of disc?

note that they were MACHINED from brembo blanks...

i suggest buying brembo rotors that come "drilled' already. and from what i heard, brembo CASTS the holes into them, not actually drilling into them.

again, from reading here and various forums, drilling holes after the rotors are made kinda makes it weaker.

i bought my cross drilled rotors from brembo 7-8 years ago. the genuine ones.

these days, still havent have any issues with them warping.

Would these be the right ones you talked about with cast holes, etc? The genuine ones?

Need a Spot
I saw those same ones on line last night. I need a set of Rotors too. Good prices but the shipping was outrageous.

Getting the Wheeling Fever
I replaced my pads now my stock disk(s) are warped. Are Brembo a cheaper, yet better, alternative to stock parts?

Thanks, I am ordering the set from brakeworld. They should arrive in about a week or two.

Brembo cross dirlled are not cheaper than the stock discs. Supposed to resist "warping" better than stock though.

Slightly bummer. I put new Michelin LTX M/S 32x11.5xR15 on yesterday. The warped brake disc front end shake trouble was drastically reduced just with the new tires. The brembo discs are on order already and will go in anyway.
