No, with Brembo, it's one or the other. If you want both, have a look at Rotora or Powerslot.

Honestly, you would be fine with Powerslot rotors if you don't plan on auto-x'ing. Cost-wise, they are very nice and they are zinc plated. Many people have had great experiences with them, but if you don't feel comfortable with Powerslot, by all means go with Rotora or Brembo.

Brembo, Powerslot, and Rotora are all excellent.

Oh, and stay away from that eBay crap.

I think you'll be really happy with them. Do you plan on painting/powdercoating your calipers at all? That would look sweet.

I would have put Powerslots on my C5, but I went with the Brembos because of their rotational direction.

I've heard of G2 before; I think it's good stuff. If you take your caliper off, I think you would be able to get to look really nice. (It would probably be easier that masking the bracket and everything else.)

No need to remove the calipers with G2 . Brushed on and works GREAT !!!! Rubberized type paint . Almost impossible to chip as it gives a bit .

As for SOMEONE in here making fun of the ebay rotors , time to make fun of you ! You push hard on Brembo and follow up by telling us they are made in the U.S.A. Get over yourself . That is too funny . Glad you love the U.S.A. but , they do not make very good parts overall . And you are driving some of that Japanese crap you were talking about . Guess it might be time to step up to a GM or a Ford maybe eh .........

Joke's on you pal.

1.) I wasn't pushing anything. I was simply stating that I have had a great experience with them and that they are high quality. I assume, you didn't see my post were I recommended Powerslot rotors over Brembo or Rotora rotors to tcvenom. If I were "pushing" Brembo rotors, do you think I would have said something like that?

2.) At no point did I say that Brembo brakes were made in the USA. If you read my posts in the thread I linked to in the second post, you would have seen that I said that the blanks were built in Canada and drilled in the USA. That point is merely important because blanks made in other countries are made with weaker and less pure metals; not because I am a nationalist.

3.) Again, if you could coherently read my posts, you would find that I no longer drive a tC and it was by no means "crap". When did I say that all Japanese products are crap? Never. I said that rotors that are made in Japan are crap; which they are. You would know that if you spent more time reading and researching than chastising me for no reason.

4.) And finally, sir, I drive a 2002 C5 (Corvette); which, again, you would know if you could comprehend the posts I made. Oh, and before you attack me with the "Did your mommy and daddy buy it for you?" No. I bought/still am buying it. Yes, I know it's not Toyota quality, too.

So, next time you want to attack me for absolutely no reason, please get your facts in order so that you do not make yourself look like an idiot. I'm sure that you will offer a rebuttle, but I have said what I had to say. Actually, my original posts said what I had to say, but I guess I just had to break it down for you.

Thanks.
