Looks pretty good from what I can tell. Anyone have any experience with them?

These came out a while back.

Esteban has these.

 

what doesn't he have

 

Didn't realize they aren't new. I rarely check out their site.

I have the nifty little reserve tank covers

I've held the rotors and they are pretty light weight. If I didn't have new rotors, calipers, and pads I might consider it.....

 

.....do they fit under 15" rims?

 

Basically they're S2000 brakes for a DC2.

 

" NOTE: The Active-Gate Brake System should be used in conjunction with 16 inch wheels (may not be compatible with some spoked wheels)."

Mugen recommends 16 inch rims for them. Anyone here can compare benefits to them vs spoon?

 

Those came out about a year ago.

They are S2000 calipers with larger vaned rotors.

You must use a 16" wheel to clear them. I suppose you can use replacement S2000 rotors in the future - but I wonder what they intend you to buy when they wear out - they don't list a price for the rotors separately.

Too much dough imo

 

Hmmm... time to cryo some rotors!!

 

yeah man those arnt new!

 

no comparision

 

Spoon will have way better stopping power for sure.

 

why would the spoon stop better?

because of the the multiple piston caliper design?

the mugen may not exert the same clamping force but the setup will increase leverage becasue of the larger rotor and distance from axle center..plus the rotor design will out perform most rotors out there..

all my lapping days i have yet to have one braking problem...

of course my opinion is biased, and i havent had much seat tme with the spoons..

anyways...just my .02

 

Esteban,
Have you considered having the Mugen rotors cryo'd, since I'd expect they are rather pricey to begin with (not to mention availability) and since the process is only about $30-35 per rotor?

 

actually yes i was looking into it...since my new set is on order

 

It is really worthwhile.
I've been running cryo'd rotors w/R4 pads on the street for years now.
Hardly much rotor wear at all. Pads dust like a @&^#% hehe

 

for the price i'd go with one of the baer or fastbrakes kits.

 

My SS Works 4 piston Skyline calipered kit for Hunda's is supplied with the Mugen rotors. The Rotors are Mugen symbol etched, gold painted, cross dilled and slottled S2k untis. The rotors will fit under 15" wheels that have the correct offset and design (TE37, CP035, SW388, ...).


The caliper is not touching the wheel but there is only about 2mm of clearance. The rotor is on the wrong side because I was doing a test fit!
