laser, you are right, the aftermarket rotors seem to be substandard. The car vibrates badly when under braking, I'm sure it's the rotors. Do you have a source other than the dealer for OEM rotors?
Thanks |

Anyone try the ebc slotted/dimpled for the front rotors? Which aftermarket rotors are believed to be substandard? I don't see so many options that work with our RL.

I ordered Brembo crossed drilled rotors from tirerack.com and have not had a problem. Installed them 3 years ago with OEM pads, no squeaking or anything. Actually had a 2nd set of pads put on last year, again OEM and no problems also. Can't cut crossed drilled, so just put on new set of pads and all is good.

FYI, when I replaced all four rotors on a 98 RL, on each wheel one of the two 6mm screws was next to impossible to remove. 20-30 minutes each of penetrating oil and tap with a hammer.
I don't like the idea of using phillips head screws for this application, though I know why they did it. Be careful not the mess up the heads of the screws over torquing. If you do, try one of those screw/bolt out solutions sears and others sell. I have since purchased an impact screwdriver, basically you hit it with a hammer and it turns your impact force into a rotaional force hopefully breaking free the screw/bolt. I got one for $6 from harbor freight, haven't used it yet.
