No serial numbers to check out ??

failing that I'd go to a shop and look at Brembo rotors and then compare them with the ones in question.

Brembo rotors have the Brembo logo and name machined into them.



There's one of my ST184 rotors.

Brembo also makes a cross drilled rotor. When coomer said that the brembo rotors have brembo on the side i looked at my cross drilled ones, and sure enough it does say brembo on them. But i can't get a pic i've ben trying to get a pic of the brembo on the sides. But it comes out blury.

ya understandable. But if someone tried to drill a rotor themself it would come out ruff as crap and would never work right. these holes are perfect. and not ruff at all. if you want i'll try and get a pic like coomers. and show they say brembo on them and show how smooth the holes are.

You should...and make sure you get the part number in the picture. It's a five-digit number I believe.

brembo make drill rotors and slotted. they do not make cross drilled and slotted. when you see a brembo brake kit with both cross drilled and slotted. this means the owner got the rotors custom drilled.

er.. on the side of one of my rear rotors it says:

02 04 D A MIN TH 9 MM... is that the right size for a 98 gt?

on the brembo site it says for the rear the min thickness is 8mm..

That's okay, 9mm is bigger than 8mm

A lot of people can cross-drill and slot rotors near OEM finish, it depends on the equipment. It's not necessarily cheap to get rotors slotted or cross-drilled.

keep in mind that cross drilled and slotted rotors are more abrasive then either or.

cross drilled and slotted-very abrasive
drilled- abrasive
slotted- not so abrasive

this just means that you feel more "friction" on the brake pedal.

this is true, the reason is because the slots also clean the break pads when you press the brakes
