The Brembo Sport-Kit rotor (PN 47249, $306/pair) next to the takeoff rotor. If you don't know much about Brembos, you're in for a high-quality treat: Brembo owns the process of creating rotors from start to finish, encompassing design, testing, raw materials, foundries, casting, machining, and quality control. Great materials are used in-process, and a stringent QC method utilizes ultra-tight tolerance controls during run-out and uniform thickness tests. If one out of 30 discs is out of tolerance, the entire batch is sent back to the foundry for recycling. Brembo Sport Discs take the high-quality replacement disc "blanks" to a new performance level. The Brembo-engineered drilled or slotted patterns provide increased pad bite to the disc, improved wet weather performance, and continuous refreshing of the brake pad surface, while preventing gas from building up between the brake pad and disc. That finished "racing inspired look" doesn't hurt either!
