Talking New Irotors

well i just installed the new irotors yesterday, and i really like them. they are smooth and quiet while braking. they appear to be of high quality too. pedal feel is great with them.
ill share more when i know more

i got the ones that sc354 is trying to get a group buy going on. they are cross drilled and slotted, and zinc plated. they are very well built rotors (by there appearance) so far after almost 500 miles i can say the braking is improved (from what i had) it is smooth and quiet too. i would recomend them.




oh and here is a picture of a stock pad with 70,000 miles on it compared to a brand new one. there was alot of lfe left on them, the rotor on the other hand was shot

How hard was it to remove the rotors? It looks like just removing the 2 screws.

fsttyms1, could you post a pic of the side of one of those rotors so we can get an idea of fin spacing? I assume the fins align with the slots? Thanks!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong... but

The two screws you mentioned actually need a special tool to remove.. I think they are spring loaded. They are intentionnaly done this way so that the rotors DO NOT spin off the hubs while you are driving.

Thank you fsttyms1! I appreciate your work, but I was wondering if they skimped on the fins. It's good to see that they essentially put one drill hole per fin and didn't skimp at all. Do you concur?

Thanks again man. You're the best!

welcom fla-tls. as for teh fins they seem to be thicker than the ones i had on there previously, which should help them be stronger. i guess only time will tell, but they seem to be well built!

Since the inner vanes run straight up and down, and are not directional like on some more expensive rotors, you can mount these any way you want. It makes no difference whatsoever.

Some people say having the vanes fall towards the front of the car allows for cleaner sweeps of the pad, but as far as actually braking perfomance is concerned, on rotors like these with non directional vanes, it makes no difference.

Looks good.. What type of brake pads are those, Axxis Deluxe? How much was the set-up from IRotors?
Are you worried about cracking the rotors?
