Brembo 2pc Rear Brake Rotor Rebuild

One of the advantages of 2-piece brake rotors is that they are rebuildable by reusing the hats and replacing just the clamping surface.

We had a customer's car in recently to rebuild their Brembo rear rotors. The outside rotor rings were replaced, along with all the hardware. Here are some pics:

Re: Brembo 2pc Rear Brake Rotor Rebuild

Please let us know the cost of the new parts. I have no experience with those rotors. I personally would go to slotted rotors, or stay with oem. Sometimes it is easier $$$ just to replace the whole oem rotor.

It depends on the size and width of the rotor, and also the condition they are in.

I am working on getting a complete set of information from Brembo on the rebuild kits themselves. I will have prices posted on our site ASAP. Stay tuned...
