Re: New EradiSpeeds Installed... Performance wise...they do have a stronger feel to them, but I don't do alot of hard driving, so I really couldn't tell you much! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
As to weight. I didnt stop to weigh them, but I noticed the UPS label said 67 lbs for the package. In lugging the old rotors out of my trunk afterwards, you could tell that the were a bit heavier!

Re: New EradiSpeeds Installed... I just put these exact same Eradispeed rotors on my car a week ago, and just finished the recommended break-in process (which involves a good bit of work). Yeah, they look sharp, sharp, sharp <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
The front rotors weigh less than the factory stock rotors, about 7 lbs less each (and that's unsprung weight). I don't think there is much weight difference on the back rotors.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you break-in your rotors correctly. This is 5-6 days of light driving, followed by two sessions worth of controlled hard stops followed by high-speed rotor-cooling highway driving. If you do this, your rotors will be pratically indestructible (errr, unwarpable). The factory has a sheet on how to do the break-in process.

Re: New EradiSpeeds Installed... Thanks. There was alot of talk about these, but never anyone who had actually verified that they weighed less. I'll be checking into these. <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

Re: New EradiSpeeds Installed... Thanks Ryan! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
I got mine thru the MTI GP for $630+shipping. It was quite a bit less than the prices I had been hearing for them, so I snapped up a set.
I believe the GP ended last week though. You might check in the GP forum, the post is still probably hanging around about it.

Re: New EradiSpeeds Installed... Hey guys,
There is another post currently active on this board "Follow up on light weight rotors . . . " that discusses the weight of these rotors. Apparently, the information I gave on the rotor weights might be wrong, but we don't know yet. Please go see that post. There is a lot of conflicting information out there . . .
