Question Rotors from “The Parts Bin”

It’s time for new rotors. I was checking online and found rotors for $79.90 each at “The Parts Bin”. That is about $40 less than everyone else online. Has anyone ordered from them?

what brand? I have a 90 LS400 and replaced with Brembo. It was terrible. It warp less than 2000 miles. This is my second set brembo. I just ordered two front drilled/slot from www.brakewarehouse.com for $133 each.

Stay away from Brembo

Default Rotors

I just installed some Bradi Rotors on a 94 LS. Quality appears to be first rate & they are performing flawlessly.

4 were $300 from ricambi sport delivered. They have a website.

I went with a rotex pads , which I have heard are not great performers in race applications, but seem to work well on my admittedly non-race LS.
No squeal & good pedal feel.

$62 for Bradi? Are they Drill and slot? I paid $132 for one drilled and slotted Bradi. Did i got rip off?

I just recieved my Drill/Slot last night. The quality is rate 10. I also got a ceramic spray that will prevent rusting. Really nice rotors. As we speak, its being install by a local shop.

Bradi manufactures some of the best rotors in the world. Along with Brembo, they are manufactured in Italy. Brembo manufactures some of the best brake products in the world.

Carson Toyota sells Bradi rotors in an assortment of different combinations including drilled and slotted rotors that are plated in cadmium. Give them a call.
