got them today. They have 8 slots, on the pic it had 5, i like 8 cause it looks cooler i think. Did anyone else get 8 or are they all 8?

 

Hmm... lemmie check

 

8 on the front, 6 on the rear

 

Great news! If you got yours maybe mine will show up soon...been waiting a month now for the front ones.

 

I've got the slotted and drilled combo rotors and both have 6 slots each.

 

hey guys....i just got mine yesterday....gotta question...im gonna get it installed at the local shop....anything i need to let the mechanic know..when hes installing the rotors..i heard a lot of talk about spacers....i have stock 01 cl s-type rims..... any thoughts....thanks for the input....

No spacers needed, that's for the BBK.

 

what kinda spacers are needed for the bbk? or is that only for stock rims?

 

notcreative, what headers do you have?

Another thing, I also ordered the rotora rotors, will get them next week. So tell me how they perform.

 

Thanks .... ANybody know a good mechanic in Detroit to go to in order to do a good install....Cuz i asked the manager at ROTORA about the squealing being noticed by a lot of the ppl who installed them....he told me that you gotta make sure u clean the calipers very thoroughly cuz of all the deposits from the stock system... and wash the rotors with detergent......I dont think most mechanics will have the patience.....Im in Auburn Hills....anybody trust any tire shops like the discount tire chain....and how much should i look to pay for an install of front and rear rotors and all pads......Thanks for the info...

can't wait to get the rotora rotors!!

 

Got mine installed on Monday (and Axxis ultimates). Braking is definitely more confident and it's nice to brake at highway speed and not have the steering wheel shake.

I did, however, notice a lot more brake dust on the front wheels this morning!

 

that's why I got myself new stock oem pads. I want to avoid all that dust

 

There is a screw holding each rotor on. It can be tough to get off. I had to use an impact driver. Don't let them charge you extra labor if they strip and need to drill the screws out.

 

Thanks for the info....i just got quoted from a local shop after everyone else i called had turned me down to install...even after tellin them that they didnt have to provide me warranty....anyways.. the guy quoted me 160 bucks for installing all the pads and rotors....not bad ....can't wait to get em on....hey if darrin is around where and how much did u get em installled for.....or if not....where do u take your acura for mods in detroit....

sweet
can't wait to get my own

 

Same with mine. I'm hoping that it's because their wearing in. Once broken in, I hope the dust get's less.

 

Its just rotor's people, if you have a jack and some basic tools they are no more difficult to install than a CAI.

 

EBC greenstuff pads. Good braking and barely any dust even after a whole week of driving.

 

Are the greenstuff pads as good as the Axxis?

 

i say stick with the stock pads

 

how much are those going for from the dealer?

 

ahh at the dealer, it's gonna be expensive.. around 450$ probably. They are rip offs.
I got stock pads (all four) brand new off ebay for 85$!

 

$450 just for the pads?? :wtf: that really sucks.

 

No.

I paid about $110, front and rear, at the dealer.

 

They are under $100 from the dealer.

 

I dont see a whole lot of difference with these rotors and pads....i got ultimates with the slotted rotors........the shaking in the steering wheel has gone away...but has been replaced by a lil squeeking...which seems to be dissapating....but thats about it...same amount of brakin power it seems....I paid for pads and rotors 430 shipped.....and 210 for labor to install...for 2 hrs work quoted at 70 bucks per hour.....the owner of godspeed charged me an extra hour for what i dont know....punk.....

I never owned Axxis. My braking is deffinitly better than stock, but I also own the EBC rotors(front). Theres more initial bite. Plus the hotter they get the better. The best though is the nonexistent brake dust.
