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. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

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.. -------------------- |

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. |
