Question Got Rotors. Is real or fake?

Hello.
I recently bought some rotors from a Brembo Seller,
but can i please know if it’s genuine Brembo Rotors?
Because I would like to contact the seller if it's not.

Re: Got Rotors. Is real or fake?

brembos are not great to begin with. i got some blanks and they were worse than the stock honda rotors. much worse. they rust up fast all over and look terrible, not to mention they grind loud like crazy when braking. and mine do not have the brembo logo engraved in the side (i know mine are legit).

how can you say that his appears to be fake? I have seen many "authenthic brembos" and some resemble the pics he has posted and some don't. Some have the brembo stamp and some don't. Some were made in mexico while others were made in germany. But i do agree with only buying from licensed dealers.

+1

i agree. brembo is a great manufacture, but they F-ed up when it came to the civic rotors.

i bought a pair of brembo blanks and they wore out quicker than expected. i wasnt too happy with it either.

i went back to oem

Re: Got Rotors. Is real or fake?

im going back to oem as well. i bought mine from an authorized brembo dealer btw. they are just too noisy and after 2 yrs, they are worn so much they cannot be turned even. not to mention they look terrible with rust everywhere. reminds me of the cheap store brand rotors.
