here's another thread in the racing forum:

you'll see track guys have the same concern.

objective data like actual brake rotor temps measured with a pyrometer after track sessions would be nice. and comparisons of effects with brake ducting.

That is a good question. This design is more efficient for air flow. Explanation listed:

I put up a quick blurb a few posts up...... the small brake fade I was experincing towards the end of a 20min session is gone after putting these on.





didn't forget......see below



I was going too but the last event I ran was our Annual Night event.... for this event I am the Modified Tuner Shootout Event Director for the magazine and NASA AZ ( see the upcoming August issue for results), the NASA AZ UMS Tuning Time Attack event Director, the HPDE Tech Chief, and I was helping an buddy with his first event at this track..... so unfortunately I was pretty busy... I actually only ran 3 of my 6 track sessions.

I will try and have some results after the next event.


SoS was going to run some tests but they had a front rotor fail on their Time Attack AP2 and couldn't finish the test.

^ I would hope this "failure" was on a different brand of rotor? Not the ones being advertised here...

No, they were factory Honda rotors that split from the hub to the edge of the disc after 5 track weekends on our 05. It was too bad, as the track that the Modified Magazine event was placed at is a very consistent track with a hard 130 mph braking zone which we were using to conduct temperature testing. The factory disc cracking early will delay the testing to the next event.

Here are some more photos from that event:

I ordered some...SOS is respected and to be honest, I just love the look of the J hooks. I will be going from rotors that have already been resurfaced to these with Hawk HP+, so I am sure I'll notice an improvement. Pricing wasn't bad, especially if they are good quality and durable. I'll try to remember to report back in a couple weeks and months with feedback.

We have a discount package running until the end of May for brake pads + rotors. Check it out:

i suggest to get other pads.
i had HP+ fading on me sever times.
and i mean complete fade. scary stuff.
no other pad did this.

hondaf1

please tell me you have jack stand under the car.

the rotors look good, but not sure how they perform on track unless temperature data is taken.

this is off topic but i see u have the ksports suspesion. how u like em??
