Hey guys, don't think I'm lazy or anything but im at work and I'm tryin to purchase some brembo cross drilled rotors for my 96 Disco SE on eBay and I don't know if I have the vented or the solid rotors in the front. Can anyone help me out with this? John C...I know you would know!

if they're stock rotors, chances are just a flat, solid peice. not 100% sure but am 99.9999999999999% sure

haha...just want to be sure...my boss certainly wouldnt let me go outside, lift the truck, take the wheel off ( <as painstaking as that already is) and check.

dent · 04-26-2005, 01:52 PM

ok, i recall when i did mine rotors (which were stock) the were flat and solid and i replaced them with flat and solid. though now i'm thinking i should have opted for the slotted or vented to let the gas esacpe. think next time i need to do the rotors, they'll be the fancy vented ones

take care
sam
just get up, pretend you're going to take a leak and run downstairs and you should be able to see them through the rims if they're solid or not

The front rotors are absolutely vented; the rears are solid. I have not seen a modern Land Rover w/o vented front, solid rear. My two Range Rovers are that way. The Disco I and the RR Classic have identical braking systems.

HOLY hek, SAM!!...YOU WERE RIGHT, they are Solid...Troverman, i just check now that i got hime and they are solid! Weird!! The Vented makes more sense!

Serg · 04-26-2005, 04:37 PM

Vented or solid, no matter. You can put on Vented ones if you have solid rotors. It will aid in cooling the rotors. However I would not go solid if they are venteed. So I saw, order the vented as you can't go wrong there. No biggie...

Serg the diff in vented and solid is the thickness, the seller on ebay was the one askin me and I had no clue. Im getting the Brembo Cross-drilled
