GOT MY NEW BRAKES ON !!!

just got my new Evosport rotors on and it feels like it stops a lot quicker . maybe it's just my brain playing tricks on me but it felt better

i took the old rotors out of the trunk to put them in my garage.....and damn , they feel a lot heavier than the Evosport rotors !

not P30....i paid less than retail because i got them from a forum member that purchased them and never installed them .

they are quite a bit lighter than the OEM rotors . my guess is around 15lbs each

The brakes are not bad but your DPE wheels are just mind-blowing.

No, it's not a placebo. It's not because of the rotors though, it's due to the new pads. Stock or otherwise, new pads will stop better than old worn out ones.

i could understand if i drove the car a lot but it only sees nice weekends . i can assure you that the OEM pads were not worn out . the car definately stops on a dime

Looks awesome. Still looking to get mine from somewhere. The combine weight saving is 40lbs, unsprung too. Is the improvement to handling and acceleration noticeable?

according to the scale , it's closer to 50lbs . i haven't had a chance to check out the acceleration yet cuz i picked it up late yesterday and it's in the garage until the weekend (if the weather is nice)

You should get some new pads to go with the new rotors. Looks good! I remember lifting both front stock 1 piece rotors, f were they heavy.

Looks good! How much do rotors in general cost? Not that expensive right?
