Differences between AEM brake kit and brembo

[dragonxyz]

Could someone shed some light on the main differences beside the price between the AEM brake kit and brembo? I'm comparing between the AEM Brake Kit, Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors Front 13" and AEM Brake Kit, Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors Rear 12.5"

vs

Brembo Cross Drilled Rotors or Slotted-Front For GTS and Brembo Cross Drilled Rotors or Slotted-Rear for GTS.

The only difference I see is the AEM is cross drilled and slotted while Brembo is cross drilled or slotted but not both. What is the difference between cross drilled and slotted? Does anyone has experience with either of these products? Any other information are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Forgive me if this seems too obvious, but I think the Brembo's are just rotors, not a brake kit. The AEM kit has *larger* rotors and moves the calipers further away from the center of the wheel. I think the Brembo's just replace the stock rotors.

I e-mailed Brembo about the upcoming aftermarket products and this is their reply:



Mr. Solamo,

Brembo is currently developing a system for this vehicle. This system
will be available with either a 12.4", one-piece cross-drilled or
one-piece slotted disc (315x28mm). As well as fixed-mount; four-piston
aluminum calipers available in black, red, or silver calipers, and
steel-braided brake lines.

Please check back with our website in the next few weeks for updates to
our product application line and thank you for your interest in Brembo

how can they sell just rotors without the thing to extend the calipers.. our calipers wouldnt bolt up anymore with the larger rotors without these extensions.. doesnt make sense to me..
