OEM Rotors from Rotora

Rotora has long been a popular name in braking system in Japan and have many
awards attributed to the Rotora name to include product design and drifting
events. There OEM size ensures a direct replacement fitment that works with
the stock calipers and brake lines.

-The rotors are vented to dispurse heat away fromt the interior of the rotor
to reduce warping under heavy braking.
-Rotors are E-coated to prevent corosion and increase life
-Double disc ground to ensure proper spec and perfect parallelism
-Mill balanced (with in 150g/cm) to prevent vibration

Two types to choos from:
-Slotted
-Crossdrilled and slotted

The crossdrilled and slotted provide a great stopping power for the street
and light track duty wile adding the classic "look" of the more expensive
big brake up grades. (not recomended for heavy track use)

The slotted rotors share the same build quality as the crossdrilled and
slotted though they are recomended for track use.





Front slotted pair $230
Rear slotted pair $190
Front drilled/slotted pair $270
Rear drilled/slotted pair $210

One of the forum members, WTF no turbo, has purchaced a set of front and
rears and he will be posting pictures sometime soon. As always if you have
questions please contact me.

Are these lighter weight than stock? If yes, how much lighter are they? Does it come in single and two piece? I suspect the two piece will be lighter since it can use an aluminum center.

2) about how much faster will they eat the pads?

Good questions, guys. The are approx the same wieght as stock since they are the same size. The aren't a two piece rotor, just a single piece. They do make two piece rotors but those are for thier larger brake kits. Also, they wont rust like the OEM rotors. The inside fins and hats have been coated in a special proprietary E-coating that is similar to poweder coat but has a higher tolerance to heat. The pad life will be shortened a little but nothing too crazy. Mabey just by a few hundred miles or so. Having a more aggressive pad or just driving like a bat out of hell would wear the pads quicker.

i purchased the first production set from rotora before they were released to the public, i love them and have had no problems. install was easy, they look cool, dont rust, and dont produce hardley any more brake dust then what i normally see.


-oh yeah, i see i paid more for mine from rotora then what vivid is selling theirs for, that sucks for me i guess but i did get the true first set off the production line according to the guy at rotora. ( i got them about 3 or 4 months ago. )
