Brembo blank rotors - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

adey · 09-20-2002, 06:51 PM

I'm about to place an order on Strano Parts for a set of Brembo Blanks for my '93 RMS13 (non-SE). Prices for my non-ABS car come out to a total of $172 for all 4 corners. that's $48 per front rotor and $38 per rear.
Of course, shipping will probably be another $20 or so (from PA to CA .... ~how much would shipping be?)

Anyone care to recommend another shop who'll have it for just as good a price (or better)? It'd be nice to get something local (save on shipping) but if I can't, that's not too big an issue.

go to colletti .. i got z32 front blanks for $118 shipped to nc from colombus and thats $2 less than strano BEFORE shipping
i'm sure that 240 rotors will be significantly less than Z rotors
btw im not sure if you can order online yet, but give 'em a call they're very helpful, nice too <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

I got my brembo blanks (front only) from strano, just the other day.  It took about a month and a half for them to come in because they sent me the wrong ones the first time.  They were very bad at getting in touch with me to let me know what was going on, I got a lot of "i'll e-mail you tomorrow morning" and not hearing from them for a week when I finally e-mailed them, they'd e-mail me back.  I surely won't ever order from them again, but this is the only bad i've ever heard about them.  Maybe you'll have better luck?

Colletti eh? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> I'll check those guys out.
Hearing your bad experience (DSC) doesn't inspire confidence... I hope to do this (get this) right the first time, and will try colletti first, since there's 1 good comment on them and one negative comment on strano. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> Thanks for the input guys.

edit: I just went through Colletti's web site, and they don't seem to have rotors for the 240sx. I will try giving them a call on monday or so, we'll see whehter or not they have them in stock and are just hiding them from us online shoppers.

I got mine though colletti.  IIRC, $74 for two s14 non-abs front blanks to my door.  They didn't have them in stock when I called (iirc, on a monday), but I had them by the end of the week (iirc... my review of them is in the faq).  They got an A in my book.

Are those brembo blanks plated, so the parts not in contact with the pads don't rust (i'm guessing not based on DSC's thread)?  I'm debating what I want to do for the rears when I upgrade this winter and really want a plated set.

I got a "deal" on a set of rotors from nopi.  ~$24 per front rotor from a company called Bradi.  Somehow it's a related to brembo though it's not at all clear how.  In anycase, they were labeled as Brembo rotors on their website (I called to tell them that's not what they sent and they said they'd update the website and offered to refund the rotors).  I decided to keep them, knowing I plan to go with Z brakes this winter but had to do something about my old rotors in the meantime.
