Any news on Rotora one piece 330 x 23mm rotor replacements????????

So I have one piece rotora bbk rotors in the front and two piece ones in the back. Apparently rotora stopped making the single piece ones from what I've read and I'm trying to find an alternative to replace my front drilled and slotteds. Anyone heard of anything?

Did you try giving them a call? Usually even if they stopped making the kit, they will still have the service parts available (I used to be a Rotora dealer and they've used a couple of my cars for test fitment in the past).

You can also search, they're several threads about this. It is now a 2pc and you will be unable to find parts minus upgrading to the 2pc. IHC also had a similar problem and bought the XLR8 brake kit.

ROTORA screwed their customers IMO. The should still have offered service parts. Now they force you to buy their new kit. We now offer a 1 pc BBK made by STOPTECH. It's cheaper than any of the ROTORA BBKs and from the info thus far outperforms it too.

FAR outperforming it is an understatement. My car stops 20.5 feet quicker with the Excelerate Stoptech kit. The Rotors run slightly cooler, the calipers run a lot cooler. The brake bias is correct which lowers stopping distances by itself but even better, the ABS does not freak out with the Stoptech kit.

The pedal is super firm, I have maybe 1/2" total travel in my brake pedal now. The car feels more stable from normal braking to a panic stop because the rear wheels are doing more of the work. It's just better in every way a set of brakes can be better. Plus you can buy pads for it at your local autozone if you just want some regular pads.

I bought this kit because I was in the same boat. I have a cracked rotor and I was told for "only" $995 and AFTER recieving my old kit back, they would send me a 2pc kit. I didn't like the fact that the Rotoras increased stopping distance over stock (yes, I have measurements) and increased pedal travel but the fact that they screwed everyone who bought a 1pc kit made the decision to jump ship an easy one.

The closest thing I found to a rotor with the right dimensions was one of the rear BBK rear rotors offered for the NSX but for the price you might as well go with the 1pc Stoptech.

Pretty much. You can remove the Rotora brakes, send them in along with $1,000, have your car down for 1-2 weeks or you can buy the vastly superior Excelerate Stoptech kit for just a little more money. Personally I would never give Rotora a penny for what they did.
