You can get Brembo or Eurorotor (equally good) thru KVR Performance I don't think you can get Brembo for both front and rear rotors of the Contour. Regardless, KVR are very responsive and quick. I'm a repeat customer.

GO to the Brembo web page and look for a list of dealers that sell Brembo brake parts.The web site is www.brembo.it I think they list rotors for the front and back.Expensive,but well worth it.

WHAT? Eurorotors are trash, my friend. Mine WARPED after 14 months. I dropped too much money on what became paperweights. I've talked to several others who also had their Eurorotors go south on them.
Brembo's on the other hand, are pretty much the best you can get.

Thanks! I've been mulling this over for a while and with my 2nd set of warping Ford rotors (1st at 26K and 2nd now at 38K), I figure I'll get some good ones.. Looks like Brembo is it!

Lance, I too am getting real tired of this crap. I had eurorotors cadmium plated, the monkeys torqued them with the impact, so they warped.
Remachine, all is good. Get my tires and 16s installed, watch the guy to make sure he uses an adapter (although I can't be sure which one...) Warp again. I will remachine my new rotors for the second time. They better hold. Else I might have to conduct a best buy, brembo, raybestos eurorotor study and see what the hell is up with the cheap cast iron...

I ordered Autospecialty rotors from SP Motorsports and received Brembo's. The rotors are stamped "Brembo" and the boxes are Brembo. I had them silver Cadmium plated and after about 6 months, no rust yet.

I've got KVR rotors on my car and apparently the Brembo and KVR's are made in the same factory up here in Canada. I've had them a few months, and zero problems. I love them. Mind you I'm also using rotor friendly KVR Carbon Fiber Pads as well. Sorry to hear you've had issues with them:sad: It seems the metal these days isn't what it used to be.

So are you saying that they are the same rotors? I was just pricing them both today and the Brembos cost 100.00 more for the set.
