Anyone know the part # for Brembo blank rotors for 93-97 cars? I just need the rears. I checked Sam's site and saw all 4, but I only need the rear 2. Thanks.

I can get you the rear only if you like. FWIW, the ATE's are cheaper than the Brembo's, if you can live with the ATE look/slots (the only slotted rotor because they aren't an afterthought).

What would you recommend Sam? I can live with the look, it doesn't bother me, I'm more interested in performance.

Then there is no way I'd do the more expensive Brembo's here. They aren't coated, the ATE's are. The ATE's are less costly too. And the quality is every bit as high (in fact with Brembo's moving around from plant to plant for cost reasons I think the ATE's are better).

Stopping power? No difference, that's the pads.

Ok, I just ordered 2 ATE rotors from your site. I already have Hawk HPS pads to go with them. Thanks for the info, I'm sure I'll be happy with them.

I'll get them on the way. Let me know what you think (everyone else loves them).

Hey Sam,

Can you elaborate on what the coating on these is? Almost looks like paint from the pictures.

I am currently on my second set of Brembo blanks (w Hawk HPSs). I continually toward the end of the life of each have hairline cracks and I am not super hard on the brakes. Are the HPSs tearing up the rotor?
Thanks

It's called MetaCote. Not sure exactly what it is, but I know it's applied (well cured) @ 572 degrees.... It might be some sort of powdercoating, that's not really my field. All I know is it works and it's durable.
