Does anyone know of a 2 piece rotor that is a direct replacement for the factory rotor?
I don't want to run larger than 15" wheels and I would rather not run adapters brackets for larger than stock rotors.
The car is a 93 civic dx, but I have the parts to run larger integra rotors... if that's my only option.

Thanks in advance,
Patrick

 

try fastbrakes.com

 

Thanks, they do have a direct replacement 2 piece rotor.

 

I used the Fastbrakes 2pc for the past 2 seasons, great bang for the buck. Just get the rotors turned/trued before you use them. For some reason both of my sets had a bad vibration when used new out of the box, but were fine after they were cut.

Here are a couple of pics of the Fastbrakes 2pc with ITR calipers.




For this season I'm trying out the 2pc Stoptech Aero rotors. The main difference being that the Stoptech's are a true 2pc floating rotor and the Fastbrakes 2pc just bolt together.

ah ha! a floating rotor is what I am after.
I've run floating 2 piece on my 240 and currently on my Jetta.

 

Excuse my ignorance but whats the difference?

 

A floating 2 piece rotor will allow for expansion and contraction. It usually has bobbins between the hat and the rotor ring.
A non floating 2 piece rotor has only bolts between the hat and the rotor ring.

Makes good sense now that I've read it : http://www.stoptech.com/tech_i...shtml

Well, yeah, but on a non-floating 2 piece rotor you also get the pleasure of having 16 (8*2) more bolts going into aluminum just waiting to get threads trashed... plus a bunch of safety-wiring to make sure they don't back out with the thermal expansion/contraction Pain in the ***, and spare hats are expensive!

How quick is a floating rotor rotor-change, if you don't have spare hats or anything? It's about an hour job with the non-floating one. I use a torque wrench on all the bolts now to make sure the threads don't get stripped.

[edit, looking at Stoptech's site, I guess it's pretty similar time?]

 

Hi guys I run Project-mu SCR-PRO's

will get some pcs for you in the morning.

 

How much did you guys pay for the Stoptech Aero rotors? Also, how long do they last, and how easy is it replace a worn rotor? And how much weight did you save over the stock rotor?

 

as promised


it's a bit dirty

so can you get the 2 piece prelude rotors "re-drilled" to fit my EG hatch with Prelude calipers?

 

6ghatch,

Do you have a part number for that stoptech aero rotor? Is that a standard 282mm/25mm rotor? I'm running the ITR front calipers w/redrilled 4x100 '96 prelude vtec rotors. I'd like to get a stoptech aero rotor for my application.

Stoptech told me the part # was 81.057.0111, but when I look in their catalog, I see they are using that same part # for 5 lug applications as well which has me a bit confused.

I don't have a part number, I just called them and asked for it. I believe it's just the 282/25mm rotor with a 4x100 hat.

 

Are there any weight savings compared to the stock rotors?

Yes, but I couldn't tell you how much.

 

I would love to get a 300mm/25mm 2 piece rotor and use a 4x100 hat but it looks like the only ones available are from Project MU and therefore like $750 per pair...
