ICER Rotors

[MattstaF6]

Hi Guys

Today I gave a place called Ausbrake a call. They are in Oakleigh and spoke to a really helpful guy there regarding some Brembo Brakes. He quoted me $150 for GENUINE Front Brembo pads and $580 for Brembo rotors for my BF Typhoon. This is a great price and the best I have found. I do have a question though. The rotors are OE Brembos which a Ford dealers uses when replacing original rotors. He told me that Brembo don't make rotors and that these are called ICER (which have a website) and are the same as the Original Brembos. Does anyone know about this? I am definitely getting the pads from them, but not sure about the rotors

There are two (basic) different braking packages for FPV - the Performance package and the Brembo package. The original equipment rotors for the former are a Rossini grooved and pillar vented front rotor (supplied by PBR) with an unbranded solid grooved rear rotor while the latter had what were described as cross-drilled and pillar vented Brembo rotors on the front front and ventilated and cross-drilled DBA rotors with curved internal cooling vanes rear. Mind you the BA also had stainless steel braided brake lines as well which disappeared in later models.

The BF F6 still performance brake package referred to the same sized front and rear rotors but didn't specifically call the fronts Rossini's while the Brembo package also didn't use the word Brembo in describing the rotor.

On that basis, he is likely to be half correct - Brembo do make rotors (and plenty of them) but it is also probable that all of the BF series cars used a non Brembo rotor with that package.
