Chris,

You guys have any package deals with these rotors with carbotechs and stainless lines?

I need the front direct rotors, xp8 front pads and stainless lines all around
Hey there! I met you at Thunderhill last sunday, I had the white ap2 with the black wheels. Are you sure you want xp8 up front? XP 10 might be a more appropriate front pad for you.
Thought about that but Im scared the 10's won't heat up quick enough on the streets.

Do the xp10's squeel more than the 8's? Thats another concern.

Ive never tried xp10 up front but I have tried RP2. Any of carbotechs pads will have great cold bite for street driving. My RP2 had at least as much cold bite as my street pads when it was 40 degrees out (Carbotechs could activate ABS from the first stop) . Ive also heard xp10 dont make too much noise on the street as long as the pads are bedded in properly. What pads did you have at Thunderhill?

Even cold, they still have more bite than any street pad you can buy. Once they're properly bedded, they make minimal noise.
cool thanks, looks like I'll be getting xp10's for the front.


I think i might go with stoptech/powerslot rotors. That or oem.

Is there a broomstick test to pass with speedventures?

I was told that the SOS J hook is out of stock and wouldn't be back due to the rotor company shut down. I've been trying to buy a set for some time now!!!!!

Maybe they got sued by AP Racing for copyright infringement on the j hook design? I just found this on the subari site...they were selling a two-piece rotor replacement for $250 ea with a hat and $99 for ring replacements! That's a smoking deal...maybe they priced themselves out of business.

Heck, even without the J hook, the directional vanes were a nice upgrade

We have rotors in stock! As others have noted, we went away from the J slot to a straight slot design. You can find them on our website here:

chris, what was the reason for switching to a slotted design from the j-hook design?
