anyone have any experience with TRW rotors?

deltatechx · 12-13-2008, 06:07 AM

I just purchased a set of Brembo blanks off a seller on ebay. He just sent me an email saying that he has a set of TRWs that are "better suited" for my car (2006 Honda Civic LX sedan MT) for the same price ($106 pair shipped). Should I just stick with the Brembos or opt for the TRWs? I've never heard anything about TRWs so any help would be greatly appreciated (the sooner, the better).

Thanx

hell no i would stick with Brembo. I havent heard of TRW but still Brembo is the official quality stuff, as opposed to a company some havent even heard of.

I sent a reply to the seller requesting more info on the TRWs and why they're "better suited" for my car. I also asked him if he actually has the Brembos in stock, hopefully he's not trying to push some crappy rotors on me while advertising Brembos he doesn't even have in stock. Hopefully he'll reply soon.

Here's the TRW site:

TRW Makes OEM parts as well as OEM replacement parts that parts stores sell. TRW suspensions components which I have the most experience with all carry a lifetime over the counter warranty, which means they are high quality parts.

With regards to your question of TRW or Brembo for brakes... I would probably say Brembo. I don't have any experience with TRW braking systems, however I am sure that they would be good quality as well.
