Brembo Blanks Blem??? *pics* * new pics added in post #9 *
Ok, I just purchased a set of brembo corvette blanks for my vehicle and they appear to be off even. When viewing the rotors from the side in by the vanes, as you go around the rotor the front half of the rotor looks thicker, as you rotate the rotor around 180 degrees then back half looks thicker. In other words, the inboard braking surface has one half looking thicker than the other half, and the outboard rotor the opposite. Is this a problem? Both rotors are like this to one degree or another.
Any advice, is this normal? Any one else have the brembo blanks that can comment?
I can take pics if you guys want me to.
-Thanks

in the 3093 photo, you can see that both halves look even
in the 3094 photo, the half on the right is thinner (same rotor rotated 180 deg)

To the top for you. I always thought Brembo would have the best quality contorl.
I am not saying something is wrong, but it might effect heat distribution.

the pictures on there were much better quality, but were too big and the website would not allow me to add them. Ill see if I can figure out a way to get a better pic, but Im really limited by the pic attachment rules of this site.

Do a google search for "windows powertoys". They have a free picture resizer that works quite well. You install it, then right click on the image and select resize, then tell it how large and it will build you a smaller one. It works quite well.

new pics. When previewing them they looked better. I resized with photoshop. In one pic you can see the halves look even and in the other the right side is CLEARLY thinner...WTF. check 'em out.
I ordered these from tire rack btw, who is sending a replacement.
