Title: Brake Rotor upgrade
Post by: att2008vn on July 12, 2012, 09:11:27 PM

Hi

I m planning to upgrade both front and rear rotor of my C14 2010 (ABS).

The problem is Connie is not that popular around in term of rotor upgrading.  Could any of you pls help give me any other sport bike model & year which uses same rotors so i can do a search around.

My target is Brembo rotor front and Braking rotor rear, well ....some info (cat#) of Brembo calipers is also very welcome

Thanks

Here ya go.  It won't be cheap.  But everything for the front brakes of the ZX-14 should work with the C14.

For the front rotors, ZX14, ZX10R from 2007 to 2012.

I just bought a pair of these.

A few people have run them and they seem to be OK.
At that price I'm not expecting perfection but have been told that they are as good as the OEM rotors.

For Brembo rotors you need 2off 78B40861 for the front and 1off 68B407A3 for the rear.
Matching pads are 2off 07KA28 (SA or SC compound) for the front and 1off 07KA21 (SP Compound) for the rear.
Be aware that these are VERY expensive. The cheaper Brembo rotors cost $300+ each over here.
