Where is brembo rotors made

Then they start chasing there tails replacing alsorts of parts when the brakes were the issue all along. They just can't believe it could be the after market brake parts. And this has nappened to me on other makes of cars using after market brakes.

If you want the best possible out come when replacing brake parts I can only recommend factory parts. And that is the reason why I have different level of recommendation for any parts.

I tell people about how long that part will last based on experience and knowledge. Now have I experiment with aftermarket stuff just to see, sure as bucks isn't much money, but it give me an idea of what to look for when it comes to fitment, and quality. They have of course their own line, which says "Made in Germany" on the box, but in very small letters "Made in Russia". Needless to say those parts are garbage, as they will last anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months.

I adamantly discourage anybody from using that brand, but people still buy it and then complain afterwards about it to me. Of course I have a chance to say I told you so, but I don't, and I just nod and agree. So the old adage comes into play: You get what you paid for.

Slightly off topic. I recently left the dealership work environment and in the last few months BMW has made it extremely difficult to replace rotors under warranty. They are now on a cut the rotors with a on car lathe kick, we had a Pro-cut lathe. To condemn a rotor you must measure the rotor's thickness with a micrometer, not runout with a dial indicator, in 8 places at a set distance from the edge of the rotor.

Just what I'd want as a remedy, cut rotors. They obviously can't be cut under minimum thickness, but if the thicker ones warped, will the thinner ones fare any better?

Not trying to start any trouble, but on my own cars and some side jobs I've done I've used after full disclosure to my clients aftermarket rotors with OEM or very high quality pads with no complaints, albeit these cars aren't tracked and the only one I know that's driven hard would be my own. Join Date Mar Location St. Joseph, Mo. Yep, BMW now cuts rotors, as you'll see in those documents. Blame it on the free maintenance thing Not me.

As you see in the StopTech document, and as dozens and dozens of experiences have shown me, you can't fix it, when the rotors overheat and turn to Cementite in certain spots. I have two sets of M5 front rotors, that anyone who wants them can have, for free.

Officially zero wear. And then the shaking starts, again. On the good side, I've recently installed new Zimmermans on the front. It's nice to have no shaking again. Besides the characteristic Brembo red, the boxes depict the faces of employees. Only the boxes of Brembo Xtra and Brembo Max discs, on the other hand, have a dedicated graphic that depicts an X - as a tribute to the special range - and emphasises the technical image of the product.

If the box is different than one of the two cases described above, you are most certainly looking at a counterfeit product! Lastly, check to make sure that there are no signs of tampering on it. Check for the Brembo hologram, which can't be faked , on the product label and, for further confirmation of authenticity, snap a photo of the unique QR Code on the sealed product box.

All brake discs are marked with the Brembo code and logo and with the ECE R 90 approval available for product codes from November I'd expect the cheap ones to warp in 10k miles or so,not Brembos.

Generally, most manufacturers recommend you change your brake fluid every 20, miles or two years, whichever comes first.

If your rotors have worn unevenly, warped from heat, become damaged by worn brake pads, or are pitted from corrosion or rust, they may need to be resurfaced or replaced. Resurfacing restores a flat, smooth surface to your brake rotors. The lifespan of brake rotors varies wildly from vehicle to vehicle.
