Shooooot,dem theres sum purdee rotors!

jangy

ROCK and roll!!

Thems the ones, baby. My short term memory is just gone!!

Anyone know if they are available from EVO, yet or what the deal is? If they are coming out, then I'm in on a GB. If not, I'll make us all some up. It looks like we have enough interest. I'd need a minimum of 10 sets to make it worth the effort and I do not want crappy materials and design. Actually, the ones I was looking into were cast to get the holes, vs drilling them. That way, there is less tendency to crack at the holes. I was also goig to cryo them for added strength in the long run.

Somebody call EVO and see what the deal is. I don't wanna do it, since I've been an *** to them before and I don't want to screw this up, too.

Jangy,

I just spoke to Simon from Evo and he said he would do a group buy (all four rotors for $1200.00).

One condition..........he said you must sell your E55 and never post here again.

Jrocket

Where do I send the moeny?

jangy

Damn, selling me out like that. Although $1200 might be worth one less friend?

Jrocket

Naaa,just change your screen name like the rest do!

SleeperX

Finally got mine...

jangy

So, were you part of the original GB? That is what I remembered is that the ones that waited till the end were rewarded with the newer models.

At any rate, thanks Rock for getting everyone else such a great deal.

SleeperX

No, I was not part of the original group buy.

jangy

What pads are you matching em up with? Do you use em and abuse em or just got them for ****s and giggles? Very nice set!! Congrats.

SleeperX

I have Porterfield pads. I can't answer the second question because I haven't even gotten my car back to see how the pads and rotors feel. I will let you know though. Thanks!

vader

I'm in if we get a GB ...

jangy

That's a sweet combination. Let us know. Were you pushing it hard enough to get the warning (heat) before? I wonder if the new combo helps with heat as well as modulation.

homiedru

so is there actually a GB going on? i'm in if there is one, thx!

SleeperX

I never tracked my car before and thus never got the warnings (heat) message before. I am going to push it now though..

Jrocket

I talked to Simon at Evosport today about a group buy on the rotors,it might be possible to do,but it would be nowhere near the same deal the first group buy pricing was.

jangy

Did you remind him of Rock's post?

Jrocket

Yes,and that is one stipulation that will need to be met.

Vic55

Jangy, face it ... your posts no longer offend. I guess we have all developed antibodies or in your case, antijangy's.

Maybe Evosport will drop the price if the The Ricker stops posting

Jrocket

Shall we start a list?

jangy

They don't offend because I am sorry for saying what I did based on a single conversation with an ex-employee. In the mean time, I've learned plenty of car biz and charma lessons, so no need to hate. I'm now one of EVO's fans, although i have not taken the plunge and bought anything of significance from them.

What do AMG rotors cost?

And how are they different that these?

jangy

030 rotors are already composites and of a different size.

jangy

AMG rotors are about $750 each. The E55 ones are single piece steel. They are cross drilled, but very heavy. The E63 ones are two piece floaters, but actually only 5lbs lighter than those on the E55. They are, however, very nice quality. The 030 rotors are more and only match up with the 030 calipers. The ceramic rotors are closer to $15K and are matched to their own calipers as well.
Also, the E63 and E55 both still have the single steel rotor in the rear. The catch is that the rear incorporates the parking brake into the hat portion, so any replacement has to worry about that stress as well. Simple aluminum would get torn up quick. I think the EVO ones has a sleeve made of steel in that are, but I am not for certain.
