I have warped front rotors and am considering options short of $3K for Brembo Big brakes. Romini's post from 2 years ago was informative but I'm guessing there are new options.
Has anyone purchased the iROTORS kit as seen on eBay? they have 4 cross drilled/slotted rotors (stock size) SS lines and pads for just over $400.
Also, are cross drilled & slotted overkill for daily driving? I get the impression slotted eats up pads. As an alternate, I am considering cross drilled brembos (stock size). Any positive experiences from eBay sellers? My other concern with a minor upgrade is that if I upsize wheels to a fuller face 19s (Privat Funf), the added weight will hurt my braking distance.

Any input would be appreciated.

 

did you do a search here on "irotors"? i remember seeing a few threads over the past years on them.

 

i've had the i-rotors front and rear for a little over a year now and still haven't had an issue. i didn't get brake lines or anything like that i got just the 4 rotors and axis pads and have been fine so far..all i do is daily driveing i don't drive crazy or rough.

 

Steve (supratrd) of Carson Toyota is offering a good deal on Rotora (slotted) OEM replacement rotors w/ SS lines and Axxis pads. Check the approved vendor forum. He's a GREAT vendor to do business with.

Also, PM lexforlife for Brembo brake info. He has Brembo rotors (slotted) and is very helpful with sharing info. I think his rotors came from www.tirerack.com

My personal experience, I got BURNED on ebay purchasing Bradi X-drilled and slotted rotors. I believe the seller has since changed their name. The fronts did not fit and the rears were shady quality showing rusty debris only after a few days even though they claimed the rotors were coated to prevent rust debris.

Some people have had good experiences purchasing from ebay though...It's a mixed bag. I say spend the extra $$ though and save yourself the headache.

I have iRotors put on roughly 2 weeks ago. So far so good! you don't need the cross drilled or slotted on the rotors, but it does look good!

if you want, you don't have to buy it from eBay. PM me and i can refer you.

 

I have bought 3 sets of rotors from iRotor. Their service is great. The rotors are not top notch rotors but the prices are low enough that you can replace them every time you replace pads.

BTW, all their rotors are zinc coated, so they are rust proof.
