      EBC Sport Rotors / Cool Carbon Pads

      This maybe should be in the Brakes / Suspension section; but since my intention is to improve my breaking at the track, I decided to put it here.


      I've done one HPDE day with cool carbon pads and OEM Stock Rotors. Performance was surprisingly good. I wasn't going 100% though, cause I still had certain feelings that it'll over heat and fade, but could've just been paranoid.


      I ordered a set of EBC Sport Rotors, and will be trying out this combo on Feb 4th at PBIR (Palm Beach International Raceway). Will probably update this thread on how it goes, I just installed and bedded them in, so hoping for good results.

      They look nice. Are they black?
      At least they come as a left and right disk version, instead of the BMW performance set... Which I still have to take to the track.
      Still winter here.

      A Brembo big brake kit is over 3x the costs of this solution.

      It's in the right spot since we do brakes/suspension based on the chassis. Nice post!

      They're black coated, but with time they turn normal color, it's just a protective coating.

      good to see that is working out for you...
      Some people live long, meaningful lives.

      Other people eat shit and die.

      I'm not racist, I hate everybody equally; especially fat people.

      Honestly didn't weigh them.. I can say they "felt" lighter but that's just not good enough. I needed some rotors, mine were already just about to go bye bye from all the HPDE days.
