Im looking for new breaks, I would like some recommendations please. Im debating on which to choose either Rotora or Racing breaks. I got the Acura TL 04 WDP 5AT. Any members with either please give some advice for this noob thanks alot bros.

 

I think you meant *brakes, right?

I don't have any personal experience with either of them, and have heard good things about both companies. However, I would go with RacingBrake, with my money.

 

Love my setup with RacingBrake 1 piece slotted rotors and their in-house designed pads ET300 series. Excellent for street driving by wife and fun runs by myself

Get them from our acurazine sponsoring vendor MrHeelToe- here is the page you need, just select what you want and build your own combo.

Yes I like the SS brake lines-makes a major differance in pedal feel

 

where do you get the ss brake lines?

 

I got mine on the bay, they are decent quality- or you can order them along with the pads and rotors from MrHeelToe. He has really hi quality brake lines for a good price

 

Check this out, you can build your own kit here:

can you please post a pic of the brakes on a TL for me please

 

I *think* this is a Racing Brake Slotted. If not, it is similar to what any slotted TL Rotor will look like.

 

damn thats clean ima order my new brakes now

 

i have the one-slotted rotors with et300's as well ... they're awesome in every situation possible ... in the canyon twisties, the streets, highway and especially LA traffic hahaa

aznbo has the two-slotted rotors, and he tracks the car so he'll have some better insight on the real power of the brakes

 

Those slotted rotors are nice. I had a set of Racing Brakes before and they were awesome.

 

Here is my RacingBrake 1 piece setup - with the Legend calipers
Dont expect the black paint in the slots or inside vents to last
The RB tech guy said its not a problem- repaint with 1100 degree BBQ paint if you want to. I get mine hotter than the average driver- what can I say

 

If you search these forums you will find many Acurazine members use ROTORA slotted or drilled and slotted rotors and are very happy with the performance and quality.

 

Thats true Josh-
I have not heard any bad things from aziners about Rotora, and they have been on the market much longer and are in greater use because of that, I even helped someone install them on his 05 TL Brembo brakes 6 speed.
Each brand- like everything in life- has its merits and issues.
With either brand- one can be assured of a quailty product from a respected vendor

 

I doubt any of us in the general public have run a complete Rotora setup for say 5000 miles, then installed a complete RB setup and compared- with factual measurements- the performance and ~feel~ differances.
It would be interesting to get a few ziners together at a trackday- side by side and lap after lap, test em on repeated useage and head to head braking from speed. This does not equate to lifespan and other factors- but its a fun excuse for a playday with the car!

Thunderhill Raceway in Willows Ca. 1 hour north of Sacramento is a great track and has several groups offering days all the time. Anyone with Rotora wants to go- let me know~
