I was looking at brembo's website and noticed that they do not make the cross drilled rotors for 4th gen...only for 3rd and 5th gen...

is this true??...i remember an old old post regarding this...

I think they make one, and not the other. Like Fronts but not rears. I think Grant could confirm this.

yah...i remember hearing that they make the fronts but not rear...but neither is on their website...

would brembo be the way to go for aftermarket rotors?

is cross-drilled better or slotted or both?

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. Brembo make the rears but not the fronts.. The front's you need to go to Eurorotors...

X-drilled and slotted rotors are overrated anyhow... it's mainly for cosmetic reasons. I have Brembo x-drilled and slotted front rotors... Next time I would rather spend the money on decent pads if you are looking for performance advantages...
I'll be writing up my product review on the Brembo rotors soon...

Correct.

Anything can be made if you pay for it. My rears are Brembo rotors that were crossdrilled and sloted by KVR. Talk to Rick for more info.

be careful I heard there's a lot of Brembo imitations that look real, because there supposedly hard to get in Canada, don't hold me to that thats what I heard.

maybe i should just stick wit OEM...cross-drilled for preludes are surprisingly much higher than any other application...

I forgot the name of the place. they advertise in the AutoTrader magazine for brakes, but I cant remember the name!! grr. hmm I know they had a porcshe track car in the shop and maybe it was called Elite or something like that. I dunno

Rob,
Yes it was Elite Auto. I posted prices from these guys last season but no one was interested..

Here they are again. REMEMBER that these are from last year so they could have changed.. Maybe the place isn't even around anymore.

All cross drilled are Brembo except 97-00 rear and 92-96 SRV front.
97-00 Front rotor $89/each
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Rear rotor $114/each Euro rotor
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Front PBRÂ* $42.47
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Rear PBRÂ* $25.74
SRV Front rotor $100/each Euro rotor
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Rear rotor $70/each
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Front PBR $42.48
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Rear PBR $25.74
SR Front rotor $85.50/each
Â*Â*Â*Â* Rear rotors $ 70/each
Â*Â*Â*Â* Front PBR $51.39
Â*Â*Â*Â* Rear PBR $25.74

PBR are the Metal Master Pads.

Personally, I won't worry so much about the rotor... worry about the pads! (in terms of performance)
