How does the new 2-piece rotor perform? Are they better than stock?

Thanks guys!! I have to say ACG really stepped it up on this one. They worked on this until it was absolutely perfect, and I think while the pictures are great, it really doesn't do it justice just how meticulously sick they made my car. Well worth the $$$$ and would do it again in a heartbeat...

As for the rotors, I dont think I notice as much of a performance difference (although the car feels a tad lighter but that might be the "placebo effect") but I got these mainly for the aesthetics in relation to the type of wheel I have which exposes a huger part of the rotors.

Thanks for the nice comments Matt. I wish I could capture the finish on your car with my camera as well as it looks in real life. Unfortunately, no camera can do that.

Well, lucky for me I don't have to drive "pictures". Always nice to have the real thing.

I like the "after" pics look much better. It a wrap or did you just removed the clear coat?

I think the whole car took at least a day, maybe a day and a half if you add up all the time. As far as getting the chrome piece and plastic emblems to match the brush tint of my wheels, I believe that entire process took several days just because of how difficult it is to make sure the paint comes out correctly.

Just doing the wrap took a little over 30 hours, detrim and assembly another 6 hours or so.

No these rotors are our own 2pc rotors, pricing for both front and rear rotors will be $2250, and introductory discount will be posted for mb world members later this week. As far I know, racingbrake does not have the rear rotors available.
