Racing brake light weight 2 piece rotors/pads review

Hey guys I decided to pull the trigger on some 2 peice light weight rotors and pads from racing brake. To give you some background I do a lot of 1/2 mile racing and have warped multiple sets of rotors and cracked pads from the high speed stops. Wanted to give some initial testing feedback on the RB OE replacement rotors and high temp XT910 street pads. I did a few consecutive 130mph down to about 40mph hard stops back to back after I bead them in. On the stock 135i rotors this would have ruined the rotors and cracked the pads. The RB rotors and pads took it like a champ! No pedal fade no vibrations just a crisp hard bite at the pedal as I expected. These rotors performed flawlessly through my stress test and I am confident they will not warp after the next 1/2 mile event. These rotors are 2 peice so when it's time for replacement you can order the rotor rings by them selves and re use the aluminum hate to cut down on replacement costs. Also these rotors shave 10-12 lbs of rotational weight in the front and another 10lbs if you choose to buy the rear also. To me that is worth it in itself. So far 10/10 in my book thanks racing brake!

To save some money at check out use code GS-10
