The Racing Brake 2 pc rotors on the other hand are much more solid and do hold up. Rusty, how many times have you had to replace the rotors on them? Ever?

I'd be interested in the comparison of how much track time you can get out of an RB setup vs the equivalent cost of ~5 sets of cryo treated blanks. Not suggesting that money couldn't be put to better use somewhere else. Just pondering.
I've gone through 3 sets of pads without cutting the rotors. The next set, I'll cut the rotors to see what they look like.
JARblue and alanyluan like this.
