what to get for rear rotor?
 

thinking of changing rear rotor. what do you guys think of the following:
- Dixcel SD slotted $380 HS $540 (1-piece, heaviest)
- Project Mu SCR-PRO $800? (2-piece, lighter, can match front)
- Autoexe $??? (2-piece, lighter)

was thinking rear not so critical so maybe can dun spend so much. probly Dixcel. Any other options? thanks!

if anyone selling rear slotted rotors (for 6MT), let me know too.

There is a new brand ATS they provide rear rotor and caliper.
But i don know good or not. New product

do you know who's the local agent/distributor? thanks.

Chuan Lee Hin is the authorised dealer, Motorex is the supplier. Its a taiwan product but it has the same oem factory as greddy and friends?? Thats wat they claimed. I ordered front and back liao. Come end march it iwll arrive.

Hi,
 

cool

bro i would suggest autoexe or pmu, althought it might cost abit more, but it safe lives. if you've drop by to MG or even our outings you'll notice most of us use autoexe and pmu, its a jap car, go for jap brand. i dun really trust taiwan brands, learnt from a veri good experience after i had an accident. cheers :)

how about getting sg brands. SILENT. dont play play, they have their own 4-6pot calipers and rotors. siao siao eh...i think MG must come out their own brand also. LOL~

ya i agree. i already on project mu 4 pot front, re brake lines/proj mu pads back. for the back rotor, thought maybe get a normal one woiuld do. also, i thought dixcel was japanese so wanted to give it a try.

no offence but i think jap better la. like little tony said, brakes dun play2. if dixcel is taiwanese then i would go for proj mu liao. can anyone confirm?

dixcel is made in japan. confirmed. It is oso a sponsor for races in japan.

every taiwan manufacturer will tell u they are OEM for japan brands.

TEIN, GREDDY, ENDLESS are all MADE IN JAPAN. They have nvr becos of high production cost sub contract out to taiwan companies. This is a myth that all taiwan suppliers will tell distributors, becos they copied that very brand to make their products.

Y i noe? becos i have been to the autoparts exhibition in taiwan. Everyone there will tell u the same thing. They are OEM for certain japan brands. Fantastic thing is, a few manufacturer will tell u they manufacture for the same japan brand, for eg, GREDDY. Many taiwan companies like to copy greddy parts. Even BRIDE oso claimed to be OEM when its blatantly copy wholesale.

Thanks for the confirmation! Apart from the setting of website, i noticed that you have been quite quiet recently huh. Bo eng ah?

no lah.. last time overly vocal.. haha.... nowadays tone down a bit lor.....

...and let the younger ones take over your 'voice' lor.

Yo Thanks. Yeah. Everyone claims they have the prettiest wife at home. Lol. Anyway, I would have bought jap brand if i had the money. Im a poor bloke on a tight budget. We should charge tw brands for plagiarism. Lol.

If MG comes with brake kits. I'll be the first to get one, even if I were to pay with 2 years instalment. If SG can hold the F1, I believe we are able to come up with decent brake kits. Lets have some Patriotisim in the house.

Can get biot also...last i check, prices is ard $950... :)

BIOT get their brake kits from brembo....

Well if taiwanese say they copy japan brands is still bearable, the only thing that really shook me up was when some member told me his brake manufacturer was oem for AP....

WOW.....that was hard to swallow I almost choked.....

bro actually no need to buy, our current brakes spray black colour, put MG logo can liao..hehehe :lol: kidding lah:spank:

Lol Good Idea. But can anyone tell me what are the elements in a brake kit that sets different brands apart. Is it the material used? The way its structured? What is it?

i think silent is just a rebranded taiwan product.

I suppose u dont get what i mean after all....i was just trying to mock at the brand silent. not trying to promote the silent branding.... *gosh*....

ya i didn't. diff freq probly.

bro all the brand of brakes are the same, its whether you got a budget to purchase them. and as long its not taiwan brakes can liao. wat sets the brand apart could be the material used, like greddy and pmu have forged brakes, but for the other brands i'm not too sure. :)

I see. Haiz budgetless. No choice uh. Lol
I'm going for ATS. Let me try first. Wish me good luck bros. Lol

ATS? from where bro? btw u driving a 6AT or MT? coz if u're budget constraint, u can get the MT brakes calipers if urs a AT. and change to steel braided brake hose, and autoexe rotors and brake pads, i guess it might be within ur budget bro, its good enough bro, i've used this setting b4.:)

Bro its TW anyway, they say its jap spec. Give it a try. Think im the first rx8 in SG to get it. CHuan lee hin introduce me leh. Lol. Hope it works.lol Anyway wat is MT

If you are budget constrained, might as well save up for proper setup, right? Why do you want to try this & that brand then if not good, gotta change again and end up wasting more money. Thought you said you learnt it the hard way in the 4 vs 6 pot thread? Still not scared to get burn by your experiments? Make your car slow nevermind, but brakes gotta do with safety so better think carefully man.

Bro, old habits die hards .Lol But this is different. Its a new brand. Maybe good. Ill try liao let u guys know. Zai. If not, Ill eat up the whole brake kit or try to sell to u guys:) just kidding.

bro MT means Manual Transmission. but just to add on wat sgflyer said,i agree. i'd rather save the money to get better brakes, coz car can still have many life but ours only got 1. think safety, not speed bro, got speed but no safety ....veri veri bad. :) trust me, i got into a very bad accident b4, after collecting my precious 8 for 3 months onli, u can chk with the older bros here, they'll advice u the same.

I see. Thanks a lot bro. But order liao deposit give liao. Haiz sianz. Any way if u don mind me asking, how bad was ur accident?

wah bro veri sad memory:( , all my under carriage came out, driver side door ddented, driver side mirror broke, front bumper went inwards, front axel bend outwards, rear axel bent inwards, all 4 rims broke, all 4 tyres burst, passenger side rear door veri badly damaged, rear bumper dented, exhaust slightly bent. veri veri sad day, so i learn from tat day, drive safety first b4 speed.:sad:

And bro Kudos to ur bravery and Ive decided to heed ur advice and i got myself pmu liao just installed.

haha...great bro, shiok rite, stops means stop ah :lol:

Lol. Cannot really feel difference leh. Or maybe need to run in

opps~ pmu sucks..... LOL! i think alot bro wanner kill me. hahahaha~
