Rotora BBK?

Looking around for Rotora BBK 1-Piece.
Talked to Marcus/Heeltoe and Josh/Excelerate and no luck.


Q: Can anyone confirm that Rotora is discontinuing this line of product for our car?
Q: Can anyone direct to a site/place that sells the 1-Piece BBK for a reasonable price?


Thanks.
-Kevin

I thought all Rotora BBK fronts and rears use two piece rotors.

ROTORA is supposed to introduce a new version of the 1 pc BBK later this year but I haven't heard anything definite yet. We do have a 2 pc BBK in stock if you need one. I wouldn't recommend buying a 1 pc kit off of anyone's site because they probably will not have it to sell.

If you want a 1 piece disc BBK we have a Wilwood setup with 12.6" rotors with slotted rotors available also.

PM me for more info.

Mine are 1pc too. It looks like once the rotors need replacing I'll have to find the correct rotor from some other place.

If I would've known they were discontinuing the 1pc I would've gone 2pc. But really, the biggest advantage the 2pc have besides weight is reliability over many heat cycles.

How have yours been holding up at the track and what pads are you using? I'm thinking of going with the H6 (I think that's what they're called) when these wear out.

I'm not sure what pads mine came with but so far I have 0 issues with them even at the track. Not bad for something that works great in stop and go traffic and performs flawlessly at the track. The only small issue I have is the first stop or two will produce a small squeek but then it won't do it again until it sits for a long time.

I believe ROTORA will still be selling service parts for the kits. We actually are working a replacement pad for their 4 piston caliper that will perform better than the pad they have and also be less expensive.

Any new info on Rotora releasing a new kit to replace the 1pc rotor kit for the Acura TSX? I didn't realize they were discontinued until I stumbled across this thread...

No, they haven't. But we are working on a 1 piece disc setup. There is nothing definite yet. We will post up when we have more info.

Unfortunately we do not. ROTORA has discontinued these rotors and they now require everyone to upgrade to a 2 piece disc setup, which requires new calipers and rotors. The cost of the upgrade with the shipping cost of the parts there and back is roughly $950 since you have to send in your original rotors and calipers as a core.

IHC,

How is the BBK holding up? It took quite some time to get used to the stock calipers and pads, but it's almost always about adjustments. Thinking of getting one soon down the short road.

I'm not sure I understand the question but ROTORA is no longer making 1 piece discs for the CL/TL/TSX BBK's. They only offer a 2 piece setup; they do have replacement components for all the 2 piece setups.
