New Pics of RacingBrake.com Rotors.

Just put on new rotors from RacingBrake.com and new pads (Hawk HPS). I notice a slight difference in stopping power but not much. Heres some pics:

Nace: I think I might go with the decals. I was thinking that, my friend has a GTO and the Brakes came red w/white GTO letters, they look good.


I know, I should have went with the big brake kit.

The duplicolor works great in the heat, but lots of people are complaining about it cracking, flaking and chipping in the cold weather. I would go with something else...

I think the G2 paint might be better.I just started a thread on it to see what is the consensus before I paint my rears.

That's the company that makes lighter breaking systems right? This was an area I hoped I could cut some weight and I think I'll one day be a customer.

Oh yeah...one more question, how robust are their 2 peice break rotors? Should people worry about them comming apart under heavy load on the street (while I realize in a race there is way more break load).

Maybe I'm mistaken, but are the rotors on the wrong sides? Shouldn't the holes and grooves be facing the other way?

I have their BBK and rear two-piece rotors on for about a month and so far no probs.Braking does feel better.They haven't come apart yet.

I don´t think you are wrong on that point, i saw that to and my friend did that same fault before that´s why i saw that.
I think you should switch sides on the brakedisk so they don´t becume damage.
Just my point on the subject.

The rotors are on correctly ( right front ) there is an arrow on the rotor for direction so it would be difficult to screw it up

The rotors are on the correct way, as said above there is direction arrows when you put them on. I thought the same thing as I was installing them. Otherwise they are great (looks and performance). I think I might add SS brake lines to improve it alittle better.
