Really? eBay doesn't have em? Are you looking for just slotted or slotted & cross-drilled?

One set on ebay... they say slotted. But pic isn't slotted. I'll have to ask him I guess.. Seems suspicious.

I would prefer just slotted but cross drilled will work fine as well.
Just lookin for a good deal on some authentic Bremob NON oem replacements.

IIRC, brembo does not make drilled /slotted rotors for our cars. They are normally drilled then resold on ebay.
Get KVR's. They are made and sold in the Toronto area.

I bought a set of fronts by a brand called Roto-Tech, supposedly they make some high quality stuff (http://roto-tech.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) but they only make them slotted and cross-drilled, not one or the other. Anyways they are made in Canada and look to be of really good quality, haven't installed them yet. I bought them locally, I know a place - got em super cheap. If you're interested let me know, I can take some pics.

This is true, the company I got my brembos from slotted them in house from brembo blanks. They did a good job though.

KVR would be the best choice though, good stuff.

Brembo does make both slotted or drilled, however the stuff on ebay crossdrilled/slotted is made from brembo blanks..... and they CRACK because they were not designed to be drilled and slotted by some machine shop.

You got proof to back that up? Or u just going by word of mouth by what most ppl say about cross drilled rotors.

Also, I don't forsee dimpled or slotted rotors cracking as they don't even penetrate to metal through and through. I COULD see it possibly happening to cross drilled rotors, but I have a cheap ebay set (non brembo) and they haven't cracked at all. I think people that have cracked cross drilled rotors are either to hard on their brakes or they bag on their car to much.

Lol!
You have the Part numbers... next step would be to find a company that sells brembo products... step 2 would be to call them and place your order.
There should be a hundred dealers in western canada. I like to order everything through Image In Motion - out of BC. Or you could just get the damn KVR's.

Here's some more info on the rotors, plus ta the bottom has some phone numbers of suppliers in Canada... Since you have the the part number, just google it, and you'll probably find something reasonably priced.

To answer your question, I do not have proof, thankfully it has not happened to me. But when I was looking for rotors, I did some research and found those cross-drilled/slotted "Brembo" on ebay, and then found these Brembo Sport rotors... and just searching through forums and random sites I found that those ebay Brembo blanks that were made into crossdrilled/slotted would warp and crack. So why not buy brembo rotors that were originally desinged to be slotted or cross-drilled, then buy something that someone machined in their own shop... Plus Brembo has a warranty on their products...

I'm sure that most likely any set will be fine under normal driving condition, I just don't really trust some of those people on ebay that buy a set of blank rotors, drill them out and try to market them as higher end rotors....
