... He wants to have this done TO the Z1 set

And if they can turn your brakes for $10, just have them turn them like 5 times, lol.
Lol I don't want to lose thickness. It shouldnt be that much. Someone needs to make the rotor right? Whether its a mold or something, changing it to a new shape/design should be easy.

Why reinvent the wheel lol. If u guys did more research robispec already did everything with the brake man calipers and wavy rotors!

Well there it is. Seems simple. You make a round blank or wavy blank. Price shouldn't differ, it's all one mold per say.

Z1 want to do a group buy with the new design?

I won't buy them, I have my rotors and they are better than good enough for me

It's not the cost of casting. It's the cost of the machining smooth.
And Z1 currently doesn't even cast the holes in the rotors, I'm not banking on them not wanting to going through the bitch of making these.

Oh, and THOSE rotors you posted are shittily designed. Look how much dead space there is between where the pad touches and the center of the bore.

Lol group buy? If anyone Is really serious I will ask and get something going

Hmmm.. Im always fan of unsprung weight reduction..
Might consider it if the price is within budget. Please check for us the price of front and rear set.

martin82 03-18-2014 03:46 AM
Will do

Zteve 03-18-2014 07:27 AM
would do a better job at weight reduction going to the gym and shedding 5-10 pounds, alot lighter on the wallet and won't look as stupid as those ugly things look

synolimit 03-18-2014 09:27 AM
I can't get lighter and my weight isn't being spun which is 10 times more important. I'd have to lose 100lbs.

Lol, not 10 times.

But if you want a real improvement, shave your tires. The further out the weight is, the more valuable it is to lose

It's 1.4x for rotors and the like, right? The flywheel is a lot more if my memory hasn't failed me once again.

There is no direct, defined corresponding number between sprung and unsprung weight.

Rotors aren't the best way to shave the MOST MEANINGFUL weight though, tires are, then wheels, then rotors, heading inwards to the hub.
