is it normal for the front rotors to get really hot? so after driving in the highway, i checked the rotors were really hot, so hot that when i spit in it, it fried . is it because maybe my caliper and rotors r touching ?

 

it happens to me, its normal for all cars.

now if it overheats and warps the rotor then u have problem

 

Yes thats normal, Especially because you used them to slow down from HWY speeds. Pads are in constant contact with the rotor so there will be slight friction. Friction= Heat

 

it's normal.

Carbon ceramic rotors used in racing get red hot:

 

Answered!!!!

 

carbon ceramic rotors....now thats performance... notice no holes nor slots


why cant rear be bigger?????and double sided????

also.....is there any euro car thats has the same rotors as our car????

like
accord coupe 07 and
acura tl 2000....same brake setup..get me?

 

How can you tell that it's not drilled/slotted? Its spinning fast.

And why would a European car have the same rotors as a Japanese car?

You use too many question marks.

 

And why would you want the rears to be larger.

 

^^^ yeah really..lol

 

cuz formula cars dont use drilled rotors...ill cut the question marks down...and i was askin about the euro cars bcuz there is this euro website that sells rotors that i want "tar-ox"...but they only work with euro cars...so thats why i ask...simple question...is there?..if so which one?...

 

larger brakes more surface to brake..... (big brake kit > lil brake kit)rite or wrong

 

so you just want bigger rear brakes, meaning ones equal in size to the fronts, not larger than the fronts?

 

im jus wonderin y they so small..look at the pic on top....im fine with regulars...jus curiosity...i do want the Tar-Ox rotors tho....but the damn euro companies that sell it are so complicated...

 

Right...but the rears don't do nearly as much as the fronts.

Having a bigger rear rotor just adds spinning weight that you have to stop. They probably have balance between the pro's and con's.

 

That front rotor looked photoshopped to me at first....

 

Because of weight transfer when braking the front brakes have to do most of the work. You probl. would not notice much if any improvement by switching to larger rear brakes.

 

There's plenty of people that sell rotors for our cars, u dnt have 2 get it from a euro vendor bro.

 

yea you right....rears barely touch compare to front....rear wheel drive burn out jus step on the brakes.....didnt put 2 n 2 together rite away...



but still...any euro car?....im stuck on this issue...i no....jetta? 325? mini? jag?

 

i apologize that i jacked this thread....but no sense in making a new one....so i got a vendor finally....he jus wants to know what honda is in europe with the same brake setup...anyone know about euro stuff....did our car ever make it there with a different name? ive google a couple things and cant come up with a real answer...

 

And why is it you want this particular brand of rotors?

 

well i had no luck with tar-ox rotors....so i went with Nitrac.....and manly for looks...it has a slot design that i havent seen here in the US.....ill post a pic up when i get a chance i think it looks sick..


i seen the euro accord for 2001....looks similar cept the tails....and tht grill isnt bad either...but anyways... getting the brake specs is harder den what i thought...i only come back with height...equipment...colors..space..

 

 

front brakes are suppose to be larger than rear brakes, at least for fwd cars, i think its the same for all im not sure about that

 

thanks fsttyms1....who in the US sells those slotted rottors to the top left....i believe no one....but i could be wrong...

 

yes its the same for all cars. It only makes sense-think of terms of weight transfer and inertia...

 

Ive never seen them sold before. There are plenty other brands like Rotora, Racing Brake, DBA that are all sold and high quality. Excelerate, Heeltoe (our vendors) and Tire Rack sell good brands.

 

I still don't understand why you want a rotor that no one in the US has...

It's for performance, and if it was me, I'd go with a brand that has been proven to perform well in OUR cars.

It's not like a cosmetic mods, where I can see someone wanting to be unique...

 

Actually maybe it is a cosmetic thing, looks, whatever, if it's the pattern of slots that he likes-

 

maybe he wants EDM, yo

 

I cannot understand why people go cheap or just plain don't care about their tire/brake setup. It the only thing making contact with the road, and stopping the car.

Will the driver/pedestrian you hit really be that impressed that your rotors are pretty?

 

there is...but if im going to spend the money mite as well be different


y not....do you wear the same shyt as your boys when you guys go out..i mean unless you guys are :ghey:



whats wrong with not doin the norm...only line i think you shouldnt cross is hickin up the car to put bigger wheels... whats funny about edm..i missed the joke..

do you hav this are performance 10x better den ebc....stop readin if you hav ebc....a couple should stop....not knockin on ebc...jus sayin do som research b4 you try to bring out the torcher




all is set only one tad issue...the center hole is 63.5mm wide on oem... he has a 00-03 honda accord type r and type v with 70mm...if 3.25 mm all around gap on the center cap a big deal??? only front btw...rear fits..

 

^ I'd like to see some of your own "research" that shows those rotors perform better than EBC/Rotora/RB.

 

There is NO need to get pissy with people. we were all asking legit questions about why you want "Euro" rotors. You are acting like they are the best thing out there. Answer our questions with legit answers and not smart ass answers and some data and you might get responses.

 

Don't know about that claim... I bought EBC front blank rotors & ultimaxx pads. All is fine other than they put out more dust than I had hoped for.

 

not pissy or anytin.. ma bad if it sounds like that....ebc would be my way to go btw if i cant fit these...so i wasnt bashing them...

and like i said b4...i want them not for performance but for looks....i have done a bunch of reading but i havent saved all that...googled a couple times.....yahoo searches...and to go back and find those sites is a pain....

well is that center hole a big deal? can i hav that 3.5mm gap all around

 

EDM=European Domestic Market...you know, like JDM but europe..

haha..?

..ahh nevermind..sigh.

 

i didnt get the joke....i now what it is... (so funny i forgot to laugh) ....

but you no what u got on the ha ha nevermind.....im smilin now....lol
