Anybody from our CL member tried RacingBrake Products? The manufacturer is in NJ. Anyway I just received this rotor today for me try on. Last year I replaced my Brembo drilled rotor twice and the second one is almost bad due warping and my rear brake rotors is now showing warping, small rusted holes looks like salt damaged the rotor metal.

 

Racing Brake rear rotors is vented it will definitely run much cooler.

 

I have a complete set from Rotora but they are not in the running on the poll. I also had a complete set for my ES and I was very impressed with them. No warping after almost two years.

 

Looks good. Are they 2 piece rotors?

 

Sorry, I should add Rotora on it also. The options on polls give me only 4 line. I will ask DaveGS4 on how change it.

 

They are actually one piece rotors. RB is developing a two piece rotors for GS owner sometime this summer. It will out for sale by May. They also sells big brake upgrades for other cars.

 

This rotor is amazing! Braking is 5x times better than my brembo rotor.

 

Pair Hawk Street Compound is perpect much. Drove my car for days no dust at all. Rotors had a very smooth surface.

 

Will you still try the 2 piece rotors when they come out ?

I'm actually looking forward to those most of all. Also did RB give any indication about the price of the 2 piece rotors?

Thanks

 

Yes I will. They promise to send me as soon they manufacture the first set. You can and talk to Warren and tell him you are interested too.

go to web: racingbrake.com

 

Will the new 2 piece rotors be available in drilled?

 

How much does a stock rotor weigh?

 

Yes they will be available.

From our records, I think the stock front rotor weight is 16.5 lbs.

 

So ~1.2lbs of unsprung weight is saved, that helps. Any thoughts about heat sheading vs stock rotors?

 

The cooling vanes are of a convergent nozzle design, which increases airflow and turbulence and makes discs cooler:


The lexus stock rotors are straight vane design.

Please read our article on vane design to help you understand the difference between our vane design vs. the others:

Center-mount
The center-mount flanges for hat mounting to the rotor ring have several benefits:

• It allows the ring to be used on either side of the vehicle simply by mounting the hat on either side of the ring (unidirectional).
• The stress load transferred from the ring to the hat is balanced.
• Air inlets are widely open to both inboard and outboard sides of the rotor. More air suctions and even temperature on both sides of the disc surface.
• Heat transfer from the disc surfaces to the hat is even and minimized by increasing the flange length and the airflow around the flanges.
• Mounting flanges are on both friction surfaces ultimately provides excellent heat balance.
