EVOSPORT 2 Piece rear rotor
Is it worth 990 for the 2 piece rear rotors? I know they are lighter than stock. Also since they are lighter will they help free up more hp and help with acceleration?

Yes and yes - they greatly reduce unsprung weight as well as reduce the rotating mass. It also helps braking.

I will be getting a pair sometime in the next few months. I think the price is very reasonable and for the P30 it's bordering on a no-brainer.
|
I plan to order when the time comes to replace rear brakes and will also do the four brake lines.
Lighter and stronger wheels make for better handling, speed, and braking--so will lighter rotors.:zoom: |
Im just curious on the quality. They do look really cool!
|
What I don't like about the OE setup is that the vents, slots and cross-drills sweep forward on one side, back on the other...the same rotor is used for both sides. The Evosport rotors are R and L specific, a major improvement IMO.

The quality is great. I know 2 guys in Dallas that have them and love them. Another bonus is that your aluminum wheels won't rust to your steel hats anymore :rolleyes:

I'm curious if there is any difference in the ride quality, particularly with the P30.

I swapped to the evo rear rotors and the 2-pc AMG fronts at the same time, and it made more of a difference that I would have expected, especially in ride quality. Less unsprung mass = less work for the suspension = better ride quality. I was at evosport today and was lucky enough to see their new 2pc FRONT rotors for the SL63... so sick. They go the proper direction on both sides, just like the evo rears. I'm trying to justify getting new front rotors, again. Josh |
Noob question...If you change the brake pads are shot do you have to change the rotors? Is there any given time that you need to change the rotors at all or is it always just a brake pad change?

I hear about some guys who track that 1 piece rotors are better due to the high heat loads??

Hey Josh. Are you saying the Evo 2pc fronts for the SL63 will fit the C63?? PLEASE say its so!!!!
Regardless, Simon said specifically that they were going to make rotors for the C, so it doesn't really matter if the SL's work, right? :naughty: Josh |

That's a big difference you can certainly feel. |
I don't know if it's worth it depends on how you value/need your money. I think they look very sexy though and if you have the disposable income then why not!

Roughly 14-LBS of unsprung weight to the rear will make a difference you will feel in acceleration, braking and cornering. Similar benefits to installing lighter wheels.
And now we have FRONT 2-piece rotors for the C63 as well! Shaves 40-lbs of total weight if you have 1-piece OE fronts or 26-lbs if you have the 2-piece OE fronts! See link below: http://www.evosport.com/product/prod...VO.BRK.M04.R01 |
Oh man this is such a tease. If it weren't for dam taxes lol

40 pounds is alot of weight saving...
|
I thought the c63 also had the 2 piece front rotors??

Very nice. What do the Evosport front rotors weigh?
