hp has nothing to do with brakes, but has everything to do with speed... which you include in your statement here:
larger tires acutally make the brakes harder, so the efficciency is really based on which perspective you're looking from. the extra patch of course scrubs off speed in its own right but it also demands more bite and will overpower the rotor pad combo more readily which requires either more braking force or more braking friction with both cause higher temps and a need for more brake cooling and heat sink mass.

to this point i will readily concede that i am a tech engineering junkie when it comes to brakes. i'll ***** myself out for cute fancy lookin' sciency stuff. it's true, we'll never see the darn test sheets. the best we get is repeated flogging and the stand against the test of time.

i think what i'm mainly trying to say regarding this is that they do work. benefits measureable? shrugs, who's measuring, but work? yeah i think they do. i'm sure they do. obviously i'm not condoning every rotor out there. i know there's shoddy ones that i'll stay away from.

why would they bother? there's always the aftermarket to pick up the slack.

let us know about hte castrol. that stuff is expensive! O.O i actually never heard of anyone complain about it. question tho... does it hold water and corrode stuff like the motul does?

 

Not bad on the price though

 

Lol this thread has become off topic. Can someone help me with any recommendations that I asked for earlier?

 

Well if you have the money buy the brembo sport rotors from tirerack. I have the slotted. Like em. If you're on a budget you can get some rotora's for like 250.

 

triny - that's what happens when I type too fast..I meant in terms of compound and size, not speed. The power of the car has nothing to do with it though. A car that has 1000 hp and that same car that has 20 hp still has the same mass to slow down. I know what you are trying to say though, and to that end, yes the more excess heat you can scrub away from the rotor/pad, the more times you can repeat that same 100-20 mph (for example) stop. That's what makes the BBK's work so well

any brake fluid can retain water - they are all hydroscopic as far as I am aware....I'll have to look into it. I will report back on the SRF, as I am curious how it works too. Sort of like that "I gotta see what a $5 milkshake tastes like"

 

I actually had a customer report he cracked a set of the Rotora on his last track day. However, he had also swapped from the Castrol SRF Fluid to what the Ferrari Challenge cars use (something with a T, I forget the name). Anyway, if you guys need the Brembo rotors, let us know, as we have em in both slotted and drilled

 

It kinda seems that was.
But go back to my first post.

The short answer is...do not buy the rotors you say at the link you posted.
They are not Authentic Brembo Sport Discs.

If you need a referal to an Authorized Dealer PM me or call me. 714.438.1118

I think we'd all like to hear your feedback after you try the DBA 2 pc. discs.
I think the DS2500 pad will be a pretty good match for that disc as well.

You sell Brembo, correct???
Have you tried our Sport EVO 500+ Fluid...or the LCF 600 Plus ???

 

+1 the real Brembo sport rotors are actually goldish in color. The ones that you posted are just drilled blanks. And FYI OEM rotors gor for like 200 each at the dealer aprox depending on the discount you get

 

I know they aren't brembo rotors but thanks for clarifying. I thought they were at first because the logo on the left. My mistake My mistake Anyways, the information specifies it as OEM and dealerships usually charge a lot to replace rotors and they use OEM rotors. I figured this was a good deal for some slotted OEM rotors.

 

They can probably be oem rotors but they had a machine shop drill and slot them which comprimises the reliability of the product

 

I will call them to get more info on them.

 

Gary - I'm hoping the DBA's work well for me too; Ken had recommended them to me, and he knows his stuff pretty well

I've yet to try the Brembo fluid though - any specs on it?

Yes we sell Brembo (the real stuff )

 

OK.

You stated that you already warped your last set of rotors.

Were they the OEM smooth/blank Brembo's???
How many miles?
Did you ever experience fade, or did you just end up with vibration??

 

I got 45k miles out of my OEM never resurfaced them. They did develop a nasty lip that made noise like no tomorrow.
