i was wondering if Rotora brakes are any good?

theres a big difference between prices for Rotora and Brembo, is brembo worth the extra money? im not planning on tracking my car offten but i love the BBK look.

if you just want the look don't do brembo's. They are awesome brakes but in your case not worth the extra money.

thanks, im not sure if i should spend the extra grand or so to get brembo. are they that much better then rotora?

I have had 3 set of Rotoras on my cars and that is after having a set of brembos. I used both on the track and for daily driving. Brembo is not worth the price for me.

I have the rotoras and they are awesome brakes.
I'm tracking the car on Sunday, and it will be the first test to see how good they really are.
I've heard that Brembos have a better feel and is more consistent during the track, but that was told to me by a Brembo rep, so go figure.

im kinda going for the LOOK of the brakes, and with the 8piston for my e92 m3 damn would look crazy

Tan,

You can't go wrong with the Rotoras but I find the Brembos to be a higher quality system with better feel and better performance on the track (ie repeated hot laps and no fade). As far as looks, I honestly think there is nothing like a set of red (or white for your car ) shiny brembos behind a set of forged wheels. It really is a stunning setup and pops. The Rotoras are also a good looking kit but with Brembo, you really are getting the best of the best in terms of looks and performance, not to mention reputation and recognition.

Not sure if you will be at HIN Pleasanton this Saturday but stop on by our area if you are, Jon's car will be on display with the Brembos so you can check them out up close.

Seriously, if you just want looks and absolutely no performance then do this :

hahahah thats soo awesome.. i for sure need those for the rotors i just bought from you !!! haha

[uberschnell]

Heitz Cellar or Charles Shaw. For most of us they both taste good, but for the connoisseur there is only one choice.

Brembo's if you have the money, Rotora's if you don't. Either one is a great improvement over stock, and there is a lot of good feedback on Rotora's from guys that race.

About the ONLY thing I'd use those for is deciding which color of real BBKs to get! But to actually USE them on a car? Puts the capital "P" is Pathetic Poser!

[Ron@Modbargains]

Well, I really like the idea of "If you can afford the Brembo, the go for it".
For the money spent, Brembo is a great value once you realize exactly what you get, but since it's just for looks you could go either way.
Personally I think that the Brembo 6-piston monobloc is the sexiest caliper on the market.


Beyond personal reason, you can call me directly if you want to discuss technical and real world application differences.

There are other options like Stoptechs and AP racing which we carry as well. I often see Rotora's at shows but I've personally never seen it at the races but Mr. 5 & retrodrive seem to be pleased with them so thats a great positive on that aspect.

I rather have the stock caliper then put on a Poser brake cover!!!!

thanks for the picture of the Brembo Nick & Ron

[pdjafari]

its a shame endless doesnt make a BBK for BMW's, otherwise id say get an 16/18 piston setup!!! Huge brake calipers FTW!!
