Dave. How long is it going to take to get a set and test them? If these work, put me down for a set.

 

I don't have a time frame on these yet, sorry.

 

so are these still on the process ? pics?

 

dave, Yes...


I'm in. I was going to do the AMS wilwoods however i need to keep my stock E-brake.

I would really like the rears to be done also. I wouldn't want "unproportional" braking.

Would be cool if front/rear could be done for like 2500

 

I would def be interested. I mean if you look how much a GOOD set is for two piece rotors now, it wouldnt be too too much more. Especially if they are going to last say twice as long.

 

This could be a home run. The carbon brake system available for the Z06 is like $15K, so the price sounds reasonable.

 

dave why not just build lighter stronger rotors then the gyrodisk not in c/f im saying????? im soon to be picking up rotors. and gyrodisk or however its spelt is where my eyes are for f/r unless something better strong and lighrter come out

 

nice one Dave. hope they are as good as the OEM stuff that the big boys use.

if its a winner, might be worth getting them to make some bigger disks with a set of wilwood 6pots on there!

Chris.

 

Yes, the project is still a "go" at this point.

I have spoken to him further on this and we may make a set of very light weight thinner blade type iron rotors for the car. If these were made the fronts would weigh in at only about 10 pounds and be considerably cheaper than a carbon ceramic rotor. Both are styles are still being considered.

As for the rear e-brake. There are other ways of keeping the e-brake without having to keep the internal drum brake/shoe. I eliminated mine but still have full use of the e-brake by converting it to hydraulic, lost a little weight in the process and eliminated any possible drag.

 

The blade thing concerns me because of lack of cooling.

 

Sounds very interesting to me. However, since you are losing that much weight is braking going to be harder?

 

I think CF rotor are cool but it be even better if you can make the rotors bigger.

There's a company in Japan called Outlawed and they make this 2 piece rotor for the Evo that's 355mm and it's compatible with the stock calipers. The kit comes with an adapter bracket that it possible for the stock calipers to work with the larger rotors.

I think it would be great if you can do the same thing with CF rotors.

The only down side is that you'll have to run 18's and up rim.

 

The thin solid blade rotors would only be for drags, street, and maybe autocross - definitely no road racing, TT, or track days. . .

(FYI, the rear Wilwood kit from AMS uses solid thin blade rotors AFAIK)

 

STOP POSTING CF its Carbon Ceramic not fiber here people!!

You cannot make a small, super light, long lasting tiny rotor out of anything but Ceramics, normal metal tiny *** discs will get raped by rough braking exercises where as the Ceramics do an amazing job managing heat and resisting wear.

I need a How-To dave .


I might be more intrested in a set of the thinner blade rotors than the carbon ceramic. 2k is a lot
