Hey guys, ive been looking around, and reading up on all the stock size 2 piece floating disks available for the evo's. I really like the vane design's of the racing brake and stoptechs(my favorite) but they dont seem to come with blank rotors. I hate slotted/drilled/dimpled rotors. I never liked them on track, at auto-x's, or on the road. Theyre noisy, have less disk surface area, and they destroy pads way too fast. The only advantage ive ever experienced was in the wet, but that isnt a big enough trade-off for me. If any vendors or informed people can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks

Interesting you should mention that, because I'm currently using Performance Friction Direct Drive 2-piece rotors with PF11 compound pads and have found them to be durable, quiet, and cost-effective.

On the other hand, my Endless SS pads / stock Brembo rotor combination used to suffer from pad AND fluid fade, generated a truckload of dust, and was actually noiser than my current setup. I've never come across non-slotted/drilled/dimpled 2-piece rotors myself, but am keen to find out if they really are that much better

 

more surface area > any benefit from slots in the dry. less chance of "warping" ect. you cant compare those two setups as they used different pads, so its moot really.

the performance friction disks are just dimpled, thats better, but not ideal. their vane design is not what im looking for however. im picky, haha

 

What car is this for? I see many different cars in your sig.

 

Its for an Evo, hence why im posting in the evolution forum

 

Stoptech has a blank face 2 pc. rotor available, coming in 1 month.

Are you positive? Any prices? Because if thats a fact, I would be willing to get on a pre-order list. thanks

Have you tried calling Porterfield brakes yet? They will make custom rotors with i think 7 different options in vane design, then whatever material you want, 2 piece or 1 piece...etc etc etc. I just had them make me a set of Raybestos ST-43's for my evo. They even took the time to grind out the areas for the rear's (the moon shape on the bottom) to fit on a 2 piece and also made the fronts the full dimensions so they won't jutter around and make noise, without me asking them to . Can't wait to get them on. If you do call, let us know what they want for a set and what options you chose!

I know it shows a pic of a drilled and slotted rotor but the surface is "plain" in the description.

 

no hat venting and plain disk venting. no-go. im picky, remember? lol
