how many of you guys would seriously be intersted in buying Stoptech Rotors?
If I can get enough people to buy them, I *might* be able to get them for you at a discounted SoCal ITR/ Honda-Tech.com price

just to make it clear, I get nothing out of this. I'm only doing this for my continuing quest to ascertain discounts for the SoCal ITR / Honda-Tech.com folks.

this is on an NSX, but it's basically the same thing except for thickness

 

I would be interested

 

~ me Interested!!! How much do they go for anyways? ( on average or estimate)

 

Thats funny how we posted the same time ?TypeRmsm!! hheheh

 

I'm interested, keep us posted. Thanks.

 

they usually go for about $500 retail.

StopTech ITR rotors are 25mm in thickness as oppossed to the stock rotors which are 23mm. Also, it's 2lbs lighter!!!!

click on the link above for more info about the rotors

alright, i don't want to start the argument over again that was in the competition forum....

but having less mass in your rotors is NOT better for cooling... and i believe most people will agree that is where the R is lacking in terms of braking. 25 mm thickness is good. but you're still loosing thermal mass of the system. yeah yeah unsprung weight... whatever...

Does anyone know if changing rotors bumps you out of G-Stock? I mean as long as they're the same size it shouldn't matter right?

 

$500.... :cough:

OUCH..

ME gets $24.99 each r0t0rs from Autozone... 2year/24 month warranty..

okay D, i should have mentioned. the two lbs is from the hat. the thermal capacity in the rotor is manily in the rotor and vanes! an aluminum hat is always preferred by racers everywhere. no? the answer is most likely yes. the hat of the rotor does not work but give ht rotor a place to locate to. we have added air space, not taken away mass. the added thickness is the air space between the friction surfaces. again, i wish you would not bash something you do not have knowledge about.

 

"directional hat design" WTF is that...

"higher induced airflow".... uh, how does that happen... ?

like willie said $500 :cough:

fuq dat. brembo blanks for $28 each.

D

 

I'd probably be interested if it didn't bump me out of G-Stock. Anyone have the answer on that? Don't want to wait until I get home to check my rulebook.

$500 - What do you think we could possibly get them down to?

 

Curved directional vanes... If installed correctly will aid in "slinging" the air away from the rotor center.

Willard

 

whoa easy there crazy.... frankly i can bash whatever i want, and i choose to bash this right now. (i'm not even bashing, ****, they're decent rotors, but not worth ~$500)

like i said, 25mm thickness vs. 23 good. but, if you think that heat doesn't transfer to the hat, again, delusion is a favorite word of mine. "thermal capacity in the rotor is manily in the rotor and vanes", i'm not going to disagree with you 100% there, but it could definatly be contested. if you could please tell me how they manage "higher induced airflow".. it would be appreciated. Directional vanes??? what, is that something "new" that is waiting on patent pending. whatever.

Actually $500 is not too bad for a 2-piece rotor. Project U 2-piece rotor (very very high quality) go for over $650 a pair!

 

I saw a set of those for the R at Victor's (97R-312) a few days ago (at the emergency R meet).

Personally, I'd spend the money on cryo treatment of the cheap Brembos, and use R4 pads all the time (which I do, now).
They break great, squeal a little (not really a problem), and there is presently no significant rotor wear noticable (still nice and shiny braking surface showing). ed

Sorry, just my 2 sense

can i just say one thing SHUT YOUR IGNORANT, POS, UGLY *** ****, STINKY BREATH MOUTH hahaha do you really think putting out your two cents all the time about these rotors is going to do something for the world? if you dont like em. leave it. obviously you have a problem, and after you fix it, SHUT THE F UP. im sure you are just dying to use such quality rotors but pantie *** pockests cant afford it. no one cares that you dont like the rotors. do you want the entire world to follow everything you do because you are the best? my ***, why dont i see you blowing away every car in Worl Challange? CUZ YOUR NOT THERE. oh wheres your heavy *** rotors now little boy? huh? doggie wanna bone? GO FETCH. get to steppin MF.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


HEY D, DID YOU HEAR THAT? OR DO YOU HAVE A STUPID HEADER IN YOUR EAR?


yosh you can delete this along with dees nuts nonsense.


i hope i provided the audience with a laugh for the day. i got mine.

LOL!

Ok, we've gone off on a tangent here.

I see that some people *are* interested and some could care less about these rotors. It's just like the "should I use synthetic or not" debate...some will and some won't use it. My point in posting this was to only gather interested parties and try to help them get a better pricing. Whether I can or not is still yet to be determined but if I see enough interest, I will go to StopTech and see what they do for us.

yoshi - "can't we all just get along?"

 

no, i'm not laughing... it's not D that has the problem. D seems to have an intensive knowledge about these cars, and he actually presented a good argument when "bashing" the rotors. *I* read it and *I* was interested in the thread... until u posted on it... no one wants to read u attempting to talk sh*t to D... c'mon now, before "zee germans" get here.

 

Yoshi - I'm still interested and still haven't done the research to find out if they would be legal in G-stock. I'll fish around the SCCA site and see what I can find.

 

Do you really need $500 rotors though? I dunno; I think fastbrakes (member on this boarD) had some rotors he had made that were pretty nice.

Maybe those who are warping their rotors and need bigger ones should brake a little less...

Come on, there's nothing wrong with entering a corner at 80 mph....it's all about the LSD baby

 

I "think" fastbrakes wanted around $450 for the same thing...

 

400-500 is the usual price for 2 piece rotors

 

Good God (no, not you Dan...), $500 for some pieces of metal. Crazy. Hmm, well at any rate, i will just take it easy on my rotors and hope i never need to replace them...

 

Keep doing track events, and you will. For use on the track, rotors are consumable items, just like brake pads and tires.

The nice thing about these two-piece rotors are that, when they need replacement, you just buy the one piece (disk) and use the same hat. So next time, it won't be $500.
