Yes they make rotors for your car. I have a set for the front on mine and they are great. BUT! I wouldn't buy these you have pictured here. If you look at the two rotors the one on the right is messed up. The slots look off. I would go through Brembo or call them for a vender if we don't have one on here. I got mine from

Sport Brakes
2521 Merrell Rd
Dallas Tx 75229-4648

972-620-9311

They treated me good and shipped fast. And remember, you get what you pay for. So if you buy off ebay BBW! Oh here is a pic of mine. Look how the slots and the holes line up and compare them to the ebay.

Brembo doesn't drill also right. I did a little reaserch but couldn't find the one for my car. Everything else sold on ebay is faked so I wasn't just going to buy. How much were yours if you don't mind?

[ariana]

Thats what I thought but I didn't look twice. But they are still drilled. Did they do that and isn't that dangerous? I just want to be sure because on Brembo's site they aren't. It's like getting a fake louis vuitton or something I just have to do my research. Seems like everything is faked.

Brembo has x-drilled rotors for the protege, what is so hard to believe?

[ariana]

Sorry I just have ebay paranoia. I have been screwed on clothes before and I am one of those girls who can spot a fake anything(clothing) from a mile away. So I just wanted to make sure before I make another mistake thats all.:)

I got the same ones, they are not fake, they are real, and they work well, I noticeda big difference when I put them on, I'd get them. I know of 3 other people who've gotten them too, someone else on this board, siballa23 also has them, they are a good buy.

Thanks guys I probably will! I just need them because I have ugly rusty rotor that make my car look bad. I would like to show this year.http://www.msprotege.com/members/ariana/DSC09781.gif

Most of the ebay X-drilled brembos are actually Brembo blanks which have been X-drilled locally. I bought a set from KnightsAuto of eBay and have been using them for almost 2 years now with no complaints.

Ask the seller if they came drilled from Brembo or if they did the drilling. If they are honest, they will probably tell you they did / had the drilling done.

Also ask if the holes are counter-sunk or just a straight drill. Mine came counter-sunk

You do realize that's who is doing the auction in the link above. (boom07)

I got Brembo(fr)/Bradi(rr) blanks from these guys for $150 shipped (or close to it), and they seemed real enough, came in sealed boxes with correct nos. on the outside. I only dealt with them once, but they seemed legit enough, at least I got my stuff in a timely manner. They also sell on ebay.

edit: crap, forgot to add the link, guys I bought from: http://www.designrt.net/


No way, I didn't even look at the seller lol. My bad. If this the same guys then I don't know what to say. But I know I'm very happy with them. Yes brembo drills them, if you go to their web site you will see that. I think you have to be a member to look up stuff on it.

Brembo doesn't show a drilled or slotted 5-lug app. for 3rd gen. proteges, only 4-lug drilled. See cut-n-paste from their pdf cat. below:

I believe the Focus ones are interchangeable with Protege. I'm pretty sure that's how it works. I know one of the Fords are interchangeable,...just can't remember for sure if it's the Focus

[Scooter_TO]

I just searched through their pdf, 25349 is the app. # for blanks for the front, there are apps for Probe, MX6, 626, and Protege, but none of those show any drilled or slotted #s. They could have released them since that pdf was updated, but it's the current one on their site. Whatever...

yeah, I mentioned in an earlier post that most of them just buy blanks and drill them locally. If there's no X-drilled app on their site, that's probably the case for all of them.

Get the rotors. I have the brembo cross drilled/slotted rotors and I love them. I have had them on the car since april and they have been great. Pair them up with a good set of pads and your braking power is great. So get them, you wont be disappointed.

[nautical2086]

yeah, what he just said.
