I was hoping there rear rotor was lighter then the girodisc rotor but it is not. Maybe we can figure something out like the ams kit.

 

I have the girodisc ultra lights in the rear.... would be nice to see if Mikey could make us a wave rotor to shed even more weight.

I would like to do the Dual Master cylinder CNC stage brake for ABS equipped Evo's... would be nice.

 

i wont do the wavy rotor disc unless i do the fronts and i wont do that. IMO a car with round front and wavy rear will look pretty stupid.

the duel Master/CNC is just going to add weight. your better off down adjusting your drum brake shoes to loose the drag. you might loose some E-Brake strength though

 

I am going to keep an eye on this thread. I may be interested in some rear rotors. I had a wanted thread for Giro Disc rears but never came up with anything.

 

Same here... I've been looking for girodisc rotors forever. Ultra light to be exact.

I have rotorpros till I find some.

 

Wilwood needs to offer a 4 pad caliper with seperate channels for each pair of pads. 1 chanel for the primary brakes, 1 channel for a hand brake/hydrualic e-brake.

By the time you add a second caliper, you have offset a ton of the potential weight loss of ditching the ebrake hardware. A single caliper that could get both jobs done would be awesome for so many applications.

Performance Fricition has a 4 pad caliper, but it's stupid expensive.

Here is a Project Muthat does exactly what I'm talking about. Too bad it's Project Mu though...

Haha, you are all about those 4 pad calipers!

 

If you are going drag brakes, the dynalite single works out. You can put a pair of them on a 0.35" scalloped rotor and still drop all kinds of weight. The pair of calipers is about the same weight as the stock caliper. Or even the GP200 caliper with an 0.25" rotor if you have a chute.

If you want to match the stock braking capability though for auto-x and track racing, you have to go up to a 0.81" vented rotor and then you are SOL as the set of calipers with a mount (if you can even do it) is going to weigh about 10 pounds. This dramatically cuts into the loss of pulling the drum E-brake as the stock caliper is under 5 pounds. Might as well just use an aluminum hat rotor and the stock caliper and E-brake at that point. Of course, I am not even sure you could make a caliper bracket to hold 2 calipers, the EVO is pretty limited on room to mount calipers in the back.

A single 4-pad dual channel caliper fixes all these issues and the single 4-pad caliper could come in at the same weight as the stock 2-pot. Now you dropped all the E-brake weight and the weight from the aluminum hat rotor. Probably 10-12 pounds per rear axle.

I'm honestly suprised wilwood hasn't figured this out already. They offer a caliper with a built in parking brake, but it is a steel body floater design. F that noise.

 

You know the more you keep talking about this, EvoDan will pay someone to make it for his car, haha...

 

HAHAHA shush you. my CNC parts will be done tomorrow. i got vid and pics of it being made right now. im ****ting bricks i cant wait.

as for the brakes. i just want a round rotor. the wavey rotors are nice but i honestly will not have rear wavey rotors and round front rotors. AMS made a light weight kit and i will find them one day. i believe it is just a single disc with no center veins, wilwood caliper and a AMS bracket. that is fine for me. if someone offers what 03 is suggesting then yes i will buy it as long as it drops weight over my current setup

 

I get my Seibon FRP Doors soon. I am hoping to get my IX RS down to 2600 pounds this year. It is at 2800 right now but I have an AWD Motorsports aluminum driveshaft, rims that will save 5 pounds each, Toxic Fab header that saves 2 pounds and a lithium ion battery on top of the doors.

I am up in the air on a couple things. One is the ACD and the other is to get a second brake setup.

 

2 lbs over a ported stock manifold!

I am thinking about buying this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intercomp-SW...c6bfff&vxp=mtr

I am sick of wires. My alignment machine has wires and then scales with wires, I don't like tripping over wires. Now I just have to somehow get myself to foot out that kind of money.

 

Has anyone had an experience with the Intercomp SW650RFX Wireless Scales? Or the Intercomp scales at all? I have the Intercomp aluminum turn plates for my alignment machine and I like them. There are a lot of features on these scales but they really don't tell you anything about them.

 

You may want to ask Curt Brown or Robi. I know both of them have a set but I don't remember the brand.
