[Nittanys1]

looking good man, now get them on the car :D

[Tree]

HOLY F*CKING ****!!!!!

[rupertaker]

ugh, rotora.

why are you taking the ap's off for them?

[Dirty Octopus™]

you're such a fucking baller its sickening! :crazy:

[G.C]

so nice. i'm jealous.

[Fr33way]

Shiiit.

[ATK_Designs]

Thanks for the comments guys.



ugh, rotora.

why are you taking the brembos off for them?

I never had Brembo. The previous red ones were AP Racing. Brembo are a lot smaller than that.

[Gorilla Eg!]

those might be the MOST blingin' brakes I have ever seen.... you might need a warning label something like "MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT".....LOL

[Nittanys1]

ugh, rotora.

why are you taking the ap's off for them?

http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh229/rupertaker/retardo.jpg


^^^I dont get this...

[ATK_Designs]

^ I don't get it either. I hope rupertaker is not confusing them for Chinese knock-offs?

[Nittanys1]

yeah! get them on already :D I cant get over how much stopping power you are going to have! The 4 piston Rotoras I have stop insanely!!!

[ATK_Designs]

^I need to find a garage close to SprayGlo. I was going to use Vuong's, but his is too crowded now. I need to get it on Before Friday.

U know anyplace Trav?

[Nittanys1]

I put mine on myself :D

[shadowx3]

they look nice bro

[ATK_Designs]

I put mine on myself :D

I dropped these off at Zen Motorsports. We'll tackle it tomorrow. Can't wait :D

[Nittanys1]

cool, your GOING to have to call me tomorrow as I wanna come hang out and watch!!! plus I need to drive the accord a little..

[ATK_Designs]

they look nice bro

thx man.

[Azn-Boost]

bad ass setup.....!!!!

[Romeo]

wow. they look awesome. just dont know if i could do it. one little smudge and the wheel would be coming off and i'd be cleaning them.haha.

[rupertaker]

^ I don't get it either. I hope rupertaker is not confusing them for Chinese knock-offs?

What do you think Rotora are?

[ATK_Designs]

^Owner may be Asian but the company is definitely US based and not the knock offs. Rotora isn't number 1, but their application has been race proven so many times. These aren't going to outperform the AP racing, but at least on par with quality. I've seen countless track cars with Rotora on them without issues.

The reason I went with them is because I got sponsored by Rotora and I was in need of new pads and rotors replacement on the AP Racing BBK.

[Z33_kid]

great set man

[rupertaker]

If you say so.

Race proven how? don't say ernie fixmer.

[Nittanys1]

Dude y r u hating so much? They are not ur brakes. You didnt pay of them. If u dont like them they say so and leave it at that. I personally love my Rotoras as they have never failed me when I needed them! Kev call me when u go to Zen

[Nittanys1]

^What do you mean, thats the best parts about having brakes like this! :D When they get to close you just give them a little wake up call...lol

[ATK_Designs]

hahaha...lol, you guys are teh funney....

[Ran]

Looks good man.

[Nittanys1]

lol i saw that too.. Kev got sponsored by Rotora, When Rotora sponsored me, a few years ago, I was asked not to talk of the price that I had pay....

[chubbieboi]

[Nittanys1]

here are a few pics of the work we did today!

I took them with my phone.

[ATK_Designs]

Mad thanks to my friends, Tony and Travis from the team, Shawn and Michelle for helping me with the installs (in a short 90 min or less). (They did 90% of the work - the 10% is the remaining to do tomorrow) . You guys came through and helped me out with the car. I owe you guys a big one.

These will get done tomorrow and the G will be at the meet.

Thanks Jarvis and Jon (G crew) for driving up and hang out with us. Really appreciate your present there. Everyone was great helping out.

Thanks Travis for the pics. :) I really appreciate your help bro.

[Nittanys1]

No problem man!! Tony has some better ones!

Zen Motors FTWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Thanks again friends for helping me out. Tomorrow is to finish up and bring it home (for more work of course)

[ATK_Designs]

Rep to the first person to find me.

[The Youngn]

sweet stuff! Those wheels are hot too and it was good meeting you the other day bro

[rupertaker]

Dude y r u hating so much? They are not ur brakes. You didnt pay of them. If u dont like them they say so and leave it at that. I personally love my Rotoras as they have never failed me when I needed them! Kev call me when u go to Zen

Chill buddy, I didn't realize I was hating.

It's a nice car, I'm just not big on Rotora and was asking why he went that route.

[ATK_Designs]

Thanks guys.


First, I'd like to thank Tony for helping me finish the brake install this morning. Went I got there, he had EVERYTHING DONE. We only need to bleed the brake then the brake job would be finished. Mind you that he has to Drop his GS off at the Motorsport Show today at 12 noon: Prep and Clean his car. But he put my car on priority first.

Everything was "DONE" today, then we take it for a spin to test it. Found 1 BIG problem:

This ROTORA kit DOES NOT need the spacers in the front between the brackets and the mounting locations. Thus that's why they didn't come with them. The inside's rubbing against the rotor. Rotora must've redesign their bracket.

So the car stayed over at Zen Motors so we can take the washers out tomorrow since it was pretty late when we got done with everything (Brake job, suspension, engine work).

I'd like to give my thanks again to Dan and Zen Motors for such great help and enthusiasm. I literally booked their shop all day today.

Not only 1 single complain, they offered to lend me a car to drive home and come back tomorrow to finish it. Also, they're supposed to be closed tomorrow, but they'll open for me to finish up my work. Unfortunately, the alternator went out when we're warming up the car, so I couldn't borrow it.

Furthermore, I'd like to thank my great friend, Kenny (35Chaser with the IP G35 with Gold Vellano wheels). Kenny went above and beyond to help me. He followed me home today to drop off my DD, pick up my forgotten Coilover adjustment, then help me finish up all the work. Then take me home again because the car isn't finished. Mind you that a total 200 miles trip today, in his precious IP G35.

This past 2 days made me realized that I had such great friends on Frenzy and from Zen Motors. Out of state people helped live with technical info. Local people came over to help. I'm thankful to have you guys as great friends. I really appreciate all your help. Thanks everyone for making this happening.

[carbongs]

no problem man! i hope everything went well. let me know if i can help otherwise.

There was only three ppl really helping, the others came over to check it out! We wanted to get it done as soon as possible.

I wish my accord could use those brakes. Too bad the puny 190 cant do anything.

Nice - but do you really need that much unsprung mass?

It seems a bit overkill.

[Nittanys1]

he sure does

[K20Z1]

i had a set on my rsx . .. except its red lol

[Nittanys1]

^8 piston?

[K20Z1]

rotora 4 piston each side, 2 each side on back, im assuming 8 and 4? lol

[Nittanys1]

well if your doing that kinda of math he is rolling with 16 in the front and 8 in the rear...

I have 8 pistons in the front :D they dont make a kit for my rears :-/

[K20Z1]

lol! . i was rollin 8 front and 4 rear.. but sold the kit afer 1 week lol

[Nittanys1]

y?

[gen2freak]

beautiful!!!

[evo9gsr]

Rotora = Show

[Nittanys1]

thats your opinion. I have had to use mine plenty of times on hwy and mountain situations and they out preform my factory brakes DAY IN AND DAY OUT! I'm also still on my original pads 4 years later!

[evo9gsr]

Name one winning road race car running rotora's

[Nittanys1]

not my bag so I wouldn't be able to name on using any brake product...

[evo9gsr]

Its because there are none.

Don't get me wrong I think they look really cool. Just wouldn't be caught on track with them.

[Nittanys1]

umm ok....

Yes.


well if your doing that kinda of math he is rolling with 16 in the front and 8 in the rear...
No. Do the math, 4 pistons on each side of the disc means an 8 piston caliper.

Now, who wants to do the math on overall brake torque to see if its even worthwhile to have that many pistons? I'd imagine at 8 pistons you're pushing the limit before reaching diminishing returns of added weight and complexity. I sure hope you've got some brake ducting to cool off your rotors because that much clamping force will melt pads and rotors (assuming the calipers are worth a damn).

I also love how all of you are in here bashing the fact that he's wanting to track on these calipers but nobody has commented on the ricey drilled/slotted rotors that will likely crack under the heat generated by that much braking force.

The brakes are pretty, dont get me wrong, but it seems like a downgrade from the AP Racing setup you said you had on there before. IMO these brakes are worthless without slicks, because now your tires are the weakest link with regards to braking.

[DVSRX-7]

sick!

[Nittanys1]

No. Do the math, 4 pistons on each side of the disc means an 8 piston caliper.


what are you talking about my math is right...maybe you should re-read what i wrote...

[nreggie454]

http://www.drifting.com/article.php?threadid=4141&goto=newpost&show_Title=

He said RACING. Stock calipers + good pads + Autozone blanks = All the brakes you need for a drift car.


Not to rain on his parade or anything. I like the brake setup. All I am saying is that you cannot use drifting as a good example of a brake setup's worth.

[GTScoob]

what are you talking about my math is right...maybe you should re-read what i wrote...
What kinda math are you doing? I still stand by what I said, and I could care less about this RSX kids brakes that he sold.

uhh yeah....im doing the math for Kevin's brakes and doing it right... Two 8 piston calipers in the front and 2 4 piston calipers in the back

[ATK_Designs]

huh, can't believe that this thread continued after couple months

lol.

People said it's a downgrade from AP Racing - I'm not a track junkie, but it's definitely a downgrade. Feedback, response, etc., all the same to my AP racing. This is an improved version from Rotora and I really like it. Others tested my brakes and they said the same thing.

anyhow, thanks for looking and the comments :)

sure going to get you laid on the first date.
