KNS Brakes Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 "We open 6 days 9AM-7PM PST" Sounds like a smart bunch of guys to me The last ebay rotors I installed we had to grind down the park brake drum section as it hit the backing plate.

whitetiger Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I think its generally a bad idea to skimp on critical satey hardware such as brake componets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetiger Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I bet those wont fit. they say they fit botht the 2.5i and the gt. that cant be tru since the 2.5i and gt brakes are not the same. I dont trust them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilrabbit129 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Co-worker bought cheap rotors on ebay. His car developed a slight wobble soon after. Took a long time to diagnose it to being the rotors. Don't skimp, treat your subie to the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNS Brakes Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 We did a wheel bearing on the back of a WRX. Owner complained of 'grinding' noise. After looking - we found that the rear rotor park brake drum section extended too much and was hitting the backing plate. chinese rotors on ebay ftl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyMUN2k6 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 You guys are right, I think for brake pads i'll be going with ebc red or yellowstuff. I do like the look of the slotted drilled rotors, but have heard about people complaining about the brembos and how they rust like a mofo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they are a vendor on LGT.com. If you PM r1concepts, they will give you a better price than what they ahve on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaceComp Engineering Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Better than the R1concept rotors? Have you had any experience with their rotors? I was actually refererring to the package in the original post. I have no experience with the R1 concept rotors. The incorrect fitment (2.5i, 2.5GT, etc.) just throws me off for the rotors in the original post. - Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
