Anyone else want THESE for their car?
Here's the dealy... Yo.
Or something.
ANYWAYS, Kate got ahold of me today and wouldn't stop bugging me about these rotors she wants for her car. She sent me the site and I looked.
Cool.
Problem is they don't make them for the Tib.
Yet.
Kate has emailed and so have I to try to get them made for the Tib/Elantra, and possibly some of the other Korean cars represented here. They DO show intrest in making them so please take a minute and email them if you are at all interested.
Bad Azz Rotors... *Email them and make Kate happy!*

Thanks... smile.gif
*Happy Kate?*

Hmmmmm..... I have to wonder about this:
QUOTE
The unique wave design was adapted from the success of our racing rotors. Removal of material from the rotor reduces rotating weight which is 4 times the weight when the rotor is not moving. This reduction in weight helps increase performance.
At either rate, those are some real funky looking rotors. tongue.gif

www.braking.com makes similar rotors on motorcycles.
On motorcycles...
They offer a 10% to 15% weight savings over conventionally shaped rotors.
My only concern is that the "mass" of the rotor matters. The lighter rotor will heat up faster, potentionally leading to heat faded brakes. This is more critical on motorcycles that have much smaller, lighter rotors.
I don't know how much they are asking for these phunky rotors, but I think I would rather spend the money on a big brake kit that improves performance, rather than some phunky looking rotors, but hey, to each their own.

Lets say for example a big brake conversion from the XG's brakes to my Elantra will increase braking performance because the larger brakes were designed to stop a larger car... What if one could purchase these 'phunky' brakes in a size that is larger than the stock one at the narrowest diameter?
For arguments sake, my brake are 6" in diameter; and the XG brakes are 7". If these undulations in the replacement brakes went back and forth between 6" and 7", you'd increase the stopping capabilites with out adding as much weight.
