Good to know someone has had a long experience with them though.

Yeah, you son of a bitch...

I cannot wait to get a set to beat on

Ordered my set today. Hoping they get here before the weekend so I can have them on for my autox event Sun.

You mean the vanes? Interesting. My vanes are still in great condition.

Talked to Z1 earlier, apparently these weren't supposed to go up for sale yet as they haven't been assembled yet. Guessing they took them down from the website until they are actually ready to go out the door.

Yep. The description was actually a bit off too.

John told me that the have been to busy that they haven't been able to even assemble them... Then I threatened his dog... lol

What was the price these were listed for then (can't see now that the link is down). If it is much more than the RB $950, I'll stick with the RB rears. My fronts have been amazing thus far. 1lb extra weight savings on the rear would be nice, but not worth a whole lot more IMO. I love the open slot design of the RB rotors too, and I don't mind trimming the dust shield slightly to gain a thicker rear rotor. (So much trimming/adjusting other stuff on the car anyways, what's one more dremel lol)

Got my erection all up for nothing

The LIST price was $650, don't hold me to it. And I think $700 is reasonable with the amount of R&D and taking into account how much of a BITCH it is to do what they did

For the pair?!@ You must mean each.. lol. If it's for a pair that's insane, I'm all over it. If each though, I don't see the price increase over the RB ones. Not having to shave a bit off the dust shield is nice (I can see some people not wanting to bother) but not really a big deal to do it either. Especially if (as they state on the site) the thicker rotor will increase longevity.

LOL!!! For the PAIR!!!

Call and ask for John, tell him the asshole sent you. He'll know what you're asking about, LOL

Thicker will, but hell, people had 50+ track days on OEM rears without any issues. I'd rather have 5lbs off EACH vs an extra .01" of metal. lol

edconline · 04-22-2014, 09:19 PM

Haha the RB ones are 4lbs lighter a corner than stock, but an extra pound/side is 2 whole pounds! And that price
