Not broken in yet....... but yum.

 

Very nice! I wish you could run those and not move up a class in Auto X.

 

Very, very nice. I like that you got slots, but didn't go overboard with drilled rotors. What's the make/model? Links for parts?

I also like how the rotors lined up perfectly between the spokes on your Coupe rims. Coincidence, or do we have a compulsive-obsessive photographer here?

 

They are actually through slots!

And yes, i noticed the way the bolts lined up! Since there are ten disc mounting bolts and five lugs, they will always appear this way regardless of the way you mount your wheels (which are also ten spoke in this case)

 

Very nice. I hope the stoptech rotors I bought will come as good as it is.

 

Look at you go sir! One track day and you're now going all out!

Give us your opinion on the rotors when you get a chance to break them in.

 

The bug has done bit!

 

Doh! Of course they will. I'm an idiot.

Wait... $920/pair?! oh. my. god.

 

I got em for 720 off Amazon. Price went up to 810 now. I think i got lucky.

 

That looks awesome!!!

 

Just went out to further bed them. Damn there's good pedal feel and the friction levels ramp up nice and good with this harder iron.

More tomorrow.

 

Had the same open slot 2 piece rotors from RB on my rx8. The weight saving alone was amazing!

 

Hey buddy, what pads did you run on your Mazda? Did you track her too? Would love to hear more!

 

Nice. Brand and other info? Did you upgrade the brake lines? If not, the pedal feel won't change.

 

Brand listed above already, but here it is with a direct link to the product page: G37S (Akebono) - RacingBrake.com

Yes, I already have SS lines, but I disagree with your statement.

Pedal feel is a combination of actual stiffness, which can be slightly impacted by the hardness of the rotor, and much more so by the compressibility of the pads- and the the other impact is the perceived stiffness due to increased initial bite. Stronger initial bite means less pressure needed at the pedal which can trick the mind into thinking the pedal got stiffer. I think this is playing out strongly with this setup because of the slots and the way the harder iron is microwelding to the pads. This might go away after all the cross-hatching is gone (will take a while, again, because of the harder material).
