Just got word from Ken over at Racingbrake.com that the new rotors for the WRX are finally in stock! They are offering 2 different levels of rotors.

Street/HPDE- These are slotted and EDP coated (non pad surfaces) and will be a perfect replacement rotor for use on street/auto-x and HPDE events w/o having the rust on the hats that you would normally see.

Racing/Enduro- Kryptonite/Nickle material slotted, non painted rotors that are built for racing. These will resist warping even in the most demanding of race/enduro situations.

Team IAC has been testing these at their Auto-x/HPDE as well as in street driving. I personally have put the Racing and Street ones through their paces at VIR, Limerock and Pocono racetracks, and use a set on my Legacy for daily driving in manhattan/bumper to bumper, no warpage or pad transfer.

STi Rotors will be here shortly (about a month til delivery) and will only be available in Racing/Enduro setup.

Here is a pic of the Racingbrake.com Racing Rotor:

We'll have the pricing on the rears shortly, most likely tomorrow. And pics of the Street/HPDE ones will be up by the weekend, those are the EDM coated ones. The Racing/Enduro ones don't have the coating. Will definitely get up pics in short order.

So they decided to dump the drilled/slotted line huh?

Originally posted by djerickd

We convinced them to ditch the drilled portion due to the fact that we know they are prone to cracking on the track. So from here out they'll be slotted only with the varying material based on Street/HPDE or Race/Enduro.

Let me know when the STi ones come in.

Those were installed with Akebono Ceramic Pads. I'll see if I can get the user to shoot you a PM with details of how he likes them. Drift RS also put a set of these on his car today with Hawk HP+ Pads and SS Lines. That RS stops on a dime, and picks it up now!

-mike

Just an update on these rotors. I had the legacy out at Pocono Raceway on Friday and Saturday. The brakes never cease to amaze me. No matter how hard I push them they never fade, warp or otherwise give me issues. On Friday we ran the single infield, and after whipping around the "bowl" to the front straight we hit ~120 and then slowed to 45-50 to make the right hand turn off the main course to the single infield where we put it through several hard braking zones before re-entering the main tri-oval. We did this for 45 minutes straight. The rotors combined with the Hawk pads were amazing.

-mike

i was wondering if the RS rotors are available yet, and if they are, how much they cost..... thanks

Do you have the H6 outback size for the rear WRX upgrade?

H6 Outback ones are in the works about a month or 2 out.

RS ones will be available in about 6 months.

-mike

Cool glad you were happy with them. We have been happy with them in our track testing and find them more than adequet for what a street car would be doing on the street. :)

-mike

Updated the 4-wheel packages to refelect the Akebono ACT-Ceramic Pads in the rear, the Hawk HPS pads are on national backorder.

$829 for all 4 rotors.

That's $499 for the fronts and $330 for the rears.

DO you have the 2002 WRX rears in stock?
I'mm gonna be in NJ in a week and a half for that infamous VW show, any chance of swinging in and picking up a set of rear rotors?

Yup we have rears in stock, and I may be able to have them delivered to you @ the show. What's the date on that? Shoot me an e-mail and we'll hook yah up.

I'll be in Jersey on the 16th 17th 18th and 19th....Long weekend of dubbin. My rear rotors are hurtin units. Honestly I should get hem replaced before I go down there but shipping would probably be silly. How much would you figure for shipping to 13104?

Shipping would run about $15 for the rear rotors.

What size are you using for the 4-pots on the front of your test car?

And any chance of seeing vented rears like the turbo legacy's?

I'd like a second set of rotors for track days so I don't have to worry about stopping on my way back from the track.

Mike what is a difference between Street/HPDE and Racing/Enduro?

Originally posted by feropont
Mike what is a difference between Street/HPDE and Racing/Enduro?

Street/HPDE are made for street, auto-x and HPDE use. They have a level of material above the standar material used in blank rotors and are slotted with EDP Black Coatings baked onto the non-friction surfaces (hats and edges) and have extra bracing where the rotor meets the hat. These are a lower cost option to the Racing/Enduro rotors.

Racing/Enduro are made from a compacted alloy that provides a greater resistance to warping, wearing and increases the amount of heat dissapation. These have a nickle coating applied to the non-friction surfaces and are slotted. These are meant for everything from street to full-on competition. We've been testing these rotors with the addition of having them drilled out on our Impreza Race car this season. We don't suggest drilled rotors for racing, however we are testing these with them drilled to try to crack them. So far after 30- 30 minute sessions we have not been able to crack them. When we had the Street version with the drilled areas we cracked them after 5-30min sessions, which is why RacingBrake does not offer drilled rotors anymore.

Hope that helps.

-mike

when will you guys actually have them in stock? I will get the brake pads when I have my oil change in about 2-3 weeks...

Thanks

So, the rotor face is thicker? Or it's made from another material?

Racing/Enduro are made from a compacted alloy
Sounds interesting--what does "compacted alloy" mean?

Originally posted by Jon Bogert

I believe it is slightly thicker than stock, but the material itself is a higher grade of grey-iron than is used in std. OEM/Aftermarket Rotors since RacingBrake oversees the actual process at the foundry.

Originally posted by Jon Bogert

It's made from an alloy of Iron and other materials that give the metal structure a more compacting of molecules, which in turn leads to less air-spaces in the middle of the surface which is where the cracks develop, so essentially it gives less area for the rotor to crack from and the material allows for quicker release of heat energy.

-mike

several questions

1) will the Street/HPDE rotors- for the wrx fit my 02 RS,? it seems like they should...

2) are these rotors vented? stock rotors are just solid pieces correct?

thanks!

Question # 3) What is a weight difference comparably with stock rotors? Front in particular.

Originally posted by Jejunum

They will fit the RS, however, you will need to get the WRX brackets for the calipers in order to fit them. The brackets are available from http://subaruwrxparts.com currently. RacingBrake is coming out in the next few months with a set of brackets that will allow the WRX rotors to go onto the RS.

As for venting, the fronts are vented like the stock ones, the rears are solid like the stock. You would need different calipers if they didn't match the stock vent/no vent.

-mike

The weight is very close to stock. They might be a hair heavier but nothing significant. I'll see if I can get exact weights however.

-mike

edit: nm i see them

i think ill wait for your brackets :)

I just ordered a set from mike and he was EXTREMELY helpful with pricing and very prompt in his emails.

If anyone is on the fence about ordering these you should just order them, mike is a great guy and will surely help you out.

Mike even had them dropshipped to me since I needed them for friday. Thumbs up to AZP and mike

Ps. I got the racing rotors with hawk HPS pads for the front.

I'm glad to see more people giving these rotors a shot :) I had one of the first sets sent out for testing on my car and I've been in love with them ever since. Thumbs up for AZP and definitely for Ken over at Racing Brake :)

crazy, just wondering if you got the street or racing setup?

Since the price difference wasn't too much I got the racing setup. Let me know how they work for you.

I will have mine by the weekend and then I am going on a road trip to jersey shore for almost 2 weeks so I will get all sorts of driving out of them

I have the racing/enduro version and they are wonderful... braking never ceases to amaze me. Sometimes I find myself forgetting I upgraded and poke the pedal like I used to and jerk myself forward pretty hard, hard enough to lock up the seat belt... so I'm happy to say the least :banana:

At the time I bought mine the racing weren't in production yet. I've got the street setup that is cross drilled and they're working great.

compacted??

I did some pokin and proding when I spoke to Ken from RacingBrake today. Here is what he gave me as far as a more technical answer to the Racing v. Street Rotors...

Its "Compact Graphite Iron" or CGI

It is or can approximately be
-twice as strong as gray iron
-Develops about 15-20% greater friction force (dependant on temperature)
-can withstand multiple times more thermal cycles before cracking
-maintains its properties to higher temperatures (almost all materials lose mechanical properties at some temperature - CGI's point is higher than gray iron

On the flip side it is
-very difficult to cast requiring tight controls of alloying elements PPM (parts per million)
-it eats machining tools because of its toughness

The reasons for these benefits are a little harder to explain - it involves the microstructure - if your interested do some google searching on it.


Hope this helps.

-mike

Well we had these out on the Legacy this past weekend at Pocono Raceway. (pics at http://TeamIAC.com) The Racing/Enduro rotors performed perfectly. Some background on our testing on the Legacy...

10K Street Miles
8 Track days with 4-30min sessions on each day
All 8 days were at Brake intensive tracks like Beaver Run and Pocono.
Racing/Enduro Rotors Slotted
Subaru 4-pot Calipers
Hawk HP+ Pads
ATE Superblue Fluid
Koni Sport Strut Inserts
H&R Springs
Faulken Azenis Sport 215-45-16 Tires

After all those track days and street miles (NYC Traffic mind you) there isn't even a hint of a lip on these rotors. Never once during a track session (with 120->40mph repeated brake zones) have they faded or even hinted at faultering.

-mike
http://TeamIAC.com

just put mine on last night, AutoX this weekend, more words to follow.

w00t! :disco:

I'll have to pick up a set after I finish my brake conversions...

If, like me, you are the sort of person who is inherently curious and skeptical, you might want to read this report on the properties of CGI compared to conventional grey cast iron:

Wear resistance of cast irons used in brake disc rotors (pdf) (www.pmt.usp.br/ACADEMIC/antschip/freio.pdf)

<-- prefers real life track experience to experiments that in no way resemble true conditions... plus every alloy has a different make up... and they didn't test these particular rotors ;)

...and if you're the sort of person who prefers testimonials, there you go. :)

<-- prefers real life track experience to experiments that in no way resemble true conditions... plus every alloy has a different make up... and they didn't test these particular rotors ;)

As crazyhorse said that is a very general statement, not knowing the exact alloy or application that study while accurite for the particular items tested may or may not represent all CGI applications including the RacingBrake Rotors.

LEMIT was awarded the "Prix Juan Manuel Fangio" for best technological innovation in the automotive industry (November 1991)"

Stronger, absorbs more heat cycles before cracking and develops higher friction levels.....

Good info, infantsam. Maybe the Racing Brakes guys can do a whitepaper that spells everything out? I looked on their website and only found a lot of "features" oriented sales copy.

It's a pretty bold claim that CGI is better than the best grey cast iron for brake rotors. With brakes, it always comes back to the same basic question: Do you really think these guys have figured out something that AP, Brembo and Alcon haven't? The stuff I've read on the web indicates that CGI has some compelling properties. So let's hear the full story...

Well for one thing we've tested these rotors back to back with DBAs where the DBAs cracked on the same car, same track, same conditions after 5 sessions and the RacingBrake ones have not cracked after significantly longer time in service.

What moron spread "brake anti-squeal goop" all over his calipers? He's probably a dead sexy moron who is king with the ladies, but a moron nonetheless...

PS. ran my first AutoX since upgrading to the racingbrake.com rotors (I went with the hi-performance onces)- ONE WORD: fantabulous.

They were flawless and I never once thought about my brakes. From run #1 to run 8, and THEN on the way home AFTER run 8, they felt as good as first thing in the morning. No fade, good bite, good pedal feel, and even had the ABS kick on a few times, which, if I'm not mistaken, basically means my brakes were "out braking" my tires. I do have to mention that I did a fluid flush and fill, but the brakes felt just insanely good.

three thumbs up and all that.

Just ordered a set of STI racingbrake rotors to go with my new brembos. Had the wrx ones and they were GREAT so there's no doubting these!

I just comeback from VIR where I run in HPDE II. My front OEM rotors turn into junk after 3 weeks ago trip to Summit Point and I replaced them with RacingBrake Racing/Enduro.
I could be little bias here since they are my first aftermarket rotors but these rotors awesome!
Only one thing is negative: nickel coating doesn't hold too well, but I would not expect otherwise since sometime temp. of rotors can reach up to 1300 F and than its cools down, get wet and they shows some rust in a while. But if you looking for performance not a look these babies is the way to go.
I use them in combination with Carbotech Panther Plus and they never let me down (even after driving back 10 hours mostly under torrential rain)
Coming down from straight to turn 1 and slowing down from 120 (I couldn't go faster without inducing knocking, had to lower my boost to 13 lb) to ~ 40 and facing tire wall in near proximity could be scary, but gradually I shortened my braking zone. Brakes didn't stop amazing me and I experienced brake fade at Pocono's with stock rotors and Axxis Ultimate pads.
We had twice throw red flag and at second one I had to stop downhill on turn 14a and I had to crawl tapping a brake pedal to find a wide enough gap in a grate until it helps me to stop. And I saw smoke come out from my brakes, I thought they done! But next session they performed as a new again without any fade or sense on brake binding.
Sorry for a long post, but nothing can be more important than good brakes, whether it's on track or on a street

Cool beans, glad to see they are working out :)

We did a lot of testing (VIR included) before we decided to carry the RacingBrake rotors since we won't sell anything we haven't or won't use on our own race cars!

Also I updated to include SS Lines now available!

Any word on the 'H-6' sized rear rotors?

Any word on the 'H-6' sized rear rotors?

They have agreed to make them and have sent the order into the factory, they should arrive here within 2 months, that's the word from Racing Brake. :)

Also we should have in about a month the WRX Brackets so those of you with RS front calipers (Some legacy, RS, etc) will be able to run WRX rotors :)

If you get the H6's, I'll have to buy fronts to match ;)

Just an update on the RacingBrake rotors on the Race Impreza L. This past weekend we were out at Pocono Raceway running the Impreza L during an HPDE and Road Race weekend. These brakes handled amazingly....

Here's the setup for those just starting to follow....

WRX size RacingBrake Race Rotors
Subaru 4-pot Calipers
Hawk Blue (Race Pads)
Goodridge SS Lines
ATE Superblue Race Fluid

Rear OEM Drum brakes
OEM Brake Booster

We did over 9 hours of driving on these brakes last weekend, of which I ran a 30 min Sprint Road Race and a 1hour Enduro!!!! The Rotors and Pads held up amazingly well. Even with the very very agressive spark-shooting Hawk Blue (above the HP+) pads we didn't even put a lip on the race rotors! Car performed flawlessly even braking over and over from excess of 100mph coming off the main straight into the infield.

Is WRX rear rotor vented?

Is WRX rear rotor vented?

No WRX does not have rear vented rotors. Rear rotors are solid. You would need different calipers to clear a vented rotor in the rear.

If you want vented rear's I believe you need to source yourself the rear setup from the Legacy Turbo (266mm I think).

If you want larger rear's (290mm), you need to source the rear setup from the "H6"

Yup I believe you are correct. The H6 rotors are setup at the factory, should have the rotors in a month or 2.

I'm trying to get them to put together a package of vented rear legacy 266mm rotors.

What I wanna see is a caliper bracket for the legacy turbo calipers and some 290mm rear vented calipers.

Combine the best of the H6 with the best of the turbo setup. :disco:

You should go find Folger Subaru's thread about the 4-pots and such...you both seem geared towards the same goals...a combination of efforts might prove to be a good thing for us!! :banana:

See the new post with some new pricing...
