have you looked at any of the brake threads???? each one has opinions on this subject
those that like ceramic pads go rotora and like them with their rotors
others like the trick design of the RB cooling vanes in the center part of the hub, and the maker designed and matched to rotors- ET series brake pads

Havnt heard a bad word about either brand, its all choice on how hard you plan to push the car or if you prefer a daily driver for mom that stops great

oh jeez..

RB is better Rotora is cheaper..

Like tom said.. it depends on the whole setup and your driving style.. period. You can't ask a general question, you're going to get a general answer..

Do you drive hard with stop & go traffic? What's your preference? low brake dust? Quiet braking? Aesthetics? etc..

And as mentioned.. rotors go hand in hand with pads..

RB hands down. I may also be a little biased because I personally know the owner, but I've been in my friend's E36 when he tracks, and he's used both. The difference is noticeable, especially when you pair the RB w/ their own pads: either ET300 or ET500.

The pads do not wear as quickly, and the rotors definitely cool off quicker.

Racing Brake is vastly superior and pricey. Rotora is for show.

Had RB rotors ET300 SS lines and fluid change last week... after bedding in... WOW. worth every penny. vastly superior compared to stock. No regrets here, and I know I'll never have to question my braking ability ever again.
