Good day guys,
im not quite sure if i posted on the right forum.but anyway i just want to know if there is a lighter brake rotor cross or slotted and an oem size available for the s2000.
also, if there is some...are they as good as the oem or better than the oem...

also, i heard somewhere that the brembo blanks for the s2000 is actually lighter than the oem rotor..not sure how true this is.

thanks...

 

All brake rotors are cast iron (with a few exotic exceptions). That means a rotor with the same dimensions is going to weigh the same.

Brake rotors are not a good place to try and lose weight, anyway.

they've been using these for years on motorcycles with people rarely noticing a difference in braking performance. They started making car applications not to long ago. If you search around you should be able to find a set for your car.

 

Are you familiar with the relationship between the mass of the vehicle and the energy that must be absorbed by the brake? If so, are you familiar with the relationship between the temperature of the rotor and the braking energy? I'm thinking the answer must be "no".

I actually know a guy who tried a set of rotors like that on his track car. After repeated failures, the company who sold them finally gave him his money back. He was lucky about that.

 

The Mugen rotors are slightly lighter than factory and I believe that the powerslot rotors may also be slightly lighter.

 

car peeps have been resistant on this as above
if you dont know how to drive easy to abuse brakes on a car, bad if your brakes are not as expected going into turn one.

bike peeps
the front brakes are designed for intended use. a rider is usually cautious on their application to prevent his a$$ from the complete endo. no big weight factor here.

anyways this is an expensive area to mod. use this linky: thebrakeman.com

 

thanks guys for the input...i am just looking for evry slight advantage i can get coz im going to a track day this dec 2nd.but it seems like getting a lighter brake wont be a good idea as of now in my situation.thanks again.

also, i found out that spoon are about 20% lighter and work as strong if not stronger than oem or brembo blanks.i ordered them but i wont get it in about 6 weeks so it wont able to put it on for dec 2 track day.together with that i am looking to buy the spoon calipers as well in a few weeks after a few paycheck.
