Re: Eradispeed Rotors No. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I know that isn't what people want to hear but as far as performance, they don't do anything.
You can buy them because you like the way they look and for the very small decrease in weight but that's about it. They are no larger in diameter or thickness then the stock rotors. They probably are made with higher quality material but if you are really going to cook the brakes roadracing, I would stay stock. Replacement rotors for them are probably around $150 or more. You can get 4 Autozone or similar cheap ones for the same price.
I went through at least 6 rotors last year. I'd hate to have to replace Baer ones at that rate, or even 1/2 that rate.

Re: Eradispeed Rotors They are wonderful ... for a cosmetic upgrade.
But like my friend George said ... they are NOT a performance upgrade.
Do they work? Sure they do, but they offer no more swept area than stock. Machining (holes and slots) will also cause weak spots and cracks are most likely to form there.
If you want a brake upgrade on a budget, call LG Motorsports and ask for the G-Stop front rotor package.
13" rotors and a relocation bracket. You retain the stock caliper and pad design. Inexpensive to buy and maintain.

Why do the G-Stops work better than the Eradispeeds? What is different about them?

The eradispeeds don't accomplish that. The crossdrilling and slotting only does two things 1) make them look cool and 2) make them more prone to cracking. Don't think that they will have any benefit on performance.. They *used* to add performance, when brake pads emitted gasses as they were used, new pads don't do that, and the holes do nothing. They do nothing for cooling either. I definately think the eradispeeds are nice rotors, but I'd hate to see someone buy them thinking that it will affect braking performance at all.

Re: Eradispeed Rotors actually, along the lines of the G-stop kit... basically it's adapting the Fbody brakes to a C5 rotor (I believe..) There are also a few kits out there that also use a C5 caliper (they run about $850 with a standard rotor). Anybody know how the C5 calipers compare to the Fbody calipers in terms of mounting bolt pattern? could you bolt rear C5 calipers on the factory rear mounts? I think it would be kinda cool to have Z06 brakes sticking out from under the Z06 wheels I run (god am I pathetic or what.)
