Not about tires, wheels, or suspension

I'd like to get some new rotors. Looking for in-expensive rotors that can stand up better than the stock rotors to track days.

Best I've found are Roto-Tech rotors over on nopionline. Has anyone ever gone with these rotors? / Does anyone know of anything that might be a better deal?

Bump, thinned out first post... Maybe I'll net more responses this way.

auto zone works fine

rotor wear really depends on pad compound, there wont be much if any difference between 2 rotors

Brembo rotors from Nopi has quite cheap. About $30 each...

Cool, thanks... Now how about some (race) pads that wont fade on track?

Anyone have a favorite race pad?

[nismofly]

you going to be using them on the street?

[Shift_Kouki]

I'm getting race pads for the track, like HPDE and such.

So unlike street or autox, I REALLY want that higher temp limit. Also unlike autox or street driving, great initial bite is not a concern of mine, maintaining good bite throughout the length of a track session is.

what i was asking was if youll be using them on the street or switching them when you get to the track

you dont want a full race pad because youll be locking up all the time, a nice intermediate pad like hawk hp+ will do you for a while, then when youve got the tires to handle it you step up to a full race pad

[Shift_Kouki]

You don't need R comps to handle race pads. Brake modulation is always key even on street and intermediate pads.

I can fade HP+ in a hurry. I need something that will last more than a couple laps.

And I'm planning to swap out the pads and rotors when I go to the track.

then id step up to a carbotech xp8, try that out and if you want more front bias run xp10 front xp8 rear

[Shift_Kouki]

Yeah, got on the phone with them this afternoon after getting out of a final...

I went with XP10 up front and XP8 in the rear.

The only thing that I worry about is that my friend who tracks his CRX in HPDE 2 also runs xp10 front and xp8 rear... He can fade them when having to brake early for traffic, and that car is A LOT lighter than the 240.

Oh well, if it is an issue... I'll just have to rig up some brake ducting to the fronts to keep them cool.
