I need to replace the brake rotors on my '76 TR6, and I see that three types are available thru various suppliers:
* a no-brand generic type;
* Brembo, at about double the price of the no-brand;
* cross-drilled, at about three times the price of the no-brand.
I don't want to buy a low quality rotor to save a few bucks in the short term, but I'd like some advice as to whether the Brembo's are of significantly higher quality, and in what way.
Also, is there any advantage (for spirited street use) of going with the cross-drilled /slotted rotors. ISTR previous comments that they would not have noticeably better performance.
Thanks for passing on any experience you may have had.
