Damn good deal. I will probably take advantage of the sale myself and just to have them since mine are almost two years old.

do i need to specify that i need the ones for the sport suspension right? because there are 2 types of brake setups on the 8 i think?

Yes you do, the base autos have smaller diameter brakes.

Just so you guys know, these rotors won't help you stop faster. I've done a lot of research on the net, and basically since you are removing material from a heat sink, it won't be able to absorb as much heat. It's pretty negligible, but still....

But they sure as hell look sexy. I have slotted on my ZX2... LoL

They may not help you stop faster (good pads will though) but they definitely do not hurt braking performance either compared to the stock rotors (these are essentially s
tock centric rotors). Very little material is being removed.

And if you did research you would know that:

"Slotted brake rotors u*se slots carved into the flat metal surface
to move gas, heat and water away from the surface of the rotors.
You can think of the slots as irrigation ditches that move the unwanted materials safely out of the way."

Well its obvious that more surface area = more friction = more stopping power = more heat, but the reason one might get slotted / dimpled rotors is if they stress their brakes enough that they need better heat dissipation to prevent damage to the rotors.

wow.

beers :beer:

Sup Swoope, what's crackin'?

most people who track prefer blank rotors over slotted or dimpled, cross drilled is a definite nono,

modern pads dont really emit that much gas so effects of slots or holes on your braking performance is minimal at best, the only thing they do besides looking good is shortening pad life and randomly cracking on track days

cooling is mostly dependent on vane layout, honestly if your looking for performance, get OEM, or OEM like rotors, unless you upgrade to a lighter 2peice setup

Or carbon ceramic... Haha

just emailed him today, definitely taking advantage of this deal. soo cheap

i got all rotors with hats, hawk hps pads,braided brake lines all shipped to me for 350! sooo cheap can't wait to get them!

killer deal.

nice job, does that cover it! :)

beers :beer:

i love um =]

Looks good, love the wheels man.

thanks man yeah i love them too haha

For those of you who have had these for a while, how are they holding up? My originals (which are as old as my car in the rear I think,) are extremely rusty at the hubs and edges. Do these rust much?
Do the stainless lines seem to be good quality?
TIA.

Mine are holding up great after 1.5 years. No complaints at all.

^Same here

No problems at all in the last 1-1/2yrs. That includes winter driving as well

Slotted & Dimpled - Front and Rear
Hawk Ceramics Pads - Front and Rear
SS Brake Line - Front and Rear

Shipped to Canada $540... not bad at all.

I just ordered basically the same, black, minus the dimples.

I just changed all four corners to slotted with red hats.. I also changed pads from hawk hps to racing brake et500. Holy crap these things work. The first hundred miles it took to wear off the coating were average. But after bedding and bluing, it takes a. Day or two to adjust your foot to press lighter

I hate that squeal.

I've had mine for a little under a year, and although the black painted hubs still look good, the slots, drilled holes and edges of the rotors are all pretty rusted. Looks like crap IMO. I know that any rotor will rust if they're not coated, but it seems like all the nooks and crannies were not coated like on more expensive rotors, or maybe the zinc coating on these was just not very durable.

Was thinking of ordering slotted and dimpled rotors...but don't want the rust after a year...maybe being in SoCal it won't matter as much as MD as we're a dry state...

Any other thoughts on slotted/drilled rotors?

Mine are not rusted after 1.5 years :dunno: But rust is not an issue in San Antonio. Heck the factory rotors rusted so.................

An option of course is that they can do the whole rotor in color as well.

I wonder if it was rust or just the schmeg that builds up on the rotor face after driving in some heavy rain. Gets scraped off eventually due to the pads but may just be accumulating in the dimples since there is no contact.

I found this pic so I guess I have a little bit of rust but nothing I'm concerned with. besides, I have been thinking of getting new ones anyway. Mind you mine were just zinc coated, no painting.

Hmm, those do look better than my rotors, and mine aren't even a year old (10 months), but they have been through a Maryland winter.

I'd like to try and clean the slots a little. Can anyone recommend a good way to do this, without scratching the rotor face?

Yeah you could get rid of the dust easily. remove them, use naval gelly or a rust remover spray, clean them, then spray paint them completely with high temp engine paint. The paint on the rotor faces will wear off due to the pads or you could just mask them and paint them.

So what was the consensus on Olorin's issue ... was it rust or dust? Thinking about grabbing a full set for myself. They quoted me 260 for front/rear/performance pads ... anyone know what "performance pads" they are? the email didn't say

I know quite a few with these and they have no issues. Not sure on the pads.

Think i should bother with the pads? I only have 6k daily driven on mine from factory :-p

I have not heard any complaints, I bet they are decent for regular use.

roger that sir, thanks

FYI the pads I got quoted for are the Posi-Quiet Ceramics from the following:

Beware that getting painted rotors from Rotor Pros will take a while. It took over 3 weeks for me to get all of the stuff I ordered. After 2 weeks without hearing anything I contacted him and he said that the rotors had been painted the wrong color and he had to send them back to the paint place. The last items to arrive though, were the brake pads (separate shipment.)
So don't order from him if your brakes NEED to be replaced.

Nice, the rotors are centric as well.

Yeah, IIRC it took a little bit to get mine but I wasn't in a rush. But I haven't heard of any problems with communication from Rich.

I've done business with Rich on more than one occasion and never had a problem with communication or order status.

Rich has done nothing but his best with all of my orders (some were more complicated then most)

Rotor pros is awesome i just ordered 4 slotted rotors plus ceramic performance pads for 260 ridiculously good deal

Bump.

this looks so nice, so nice i just ordered 4 and 4 hawk pads of 320! theyll be here next thu

Still lovin my rotors

Attachment 240713

Me too. What's up Pico?!!!

mine are here tomorrow!

Been busy lately brother, and really haven't had time for the 8club. Still working on your FI project?

You'll be happy with the end result.

I understand that man. Yeah It has turned into a new rebuilt engine/FI project that then turned into a fix every other little issue project :lol:

I already have everything though and I should get my turbo back today or tomorrow and then the install begins this weekend :)

9krpmrx8 i think that your idea of which way slotted rotors are supposed to face is wrong.

giving the direction the rotors spin i'd want the center most part touching the pad first than directing dust outwards towards the outer edge of the rotors. just like on a marry go round the centrifugal force wants to throw dust that way anyways.

facing them the way you do would cut and send the dust towards the center of the rotor in my opinion.

^ Brake performance is not so much based on the direction of the slots, but the rotation of the rotor relative to the internal vanes.
