True; I am going to follow up with Endless just to confirm, but if memory serves me correctly, the price for an E-Slit rotor includes the top hat. I will post up my results from Endless tomorrow. -Hunter -------------------- BulletproofAutomotive.com (213) 745-6954 We price match everything... even group buys... so there is no need to spend more! -PM me about our current specials -Lots of JDM parts in stock!

While you're looking, I was wondering something. How do these new rotors compare with the older 24-slit rotors that Endless makes? In price and performance. Thanks.

one piece design e-slit rotor from endless is available for oem s2000 application. I honestly don't think endless is going to come out with 2 piece e-slit rotor for oem s2000 application tho. --------------------

I just confirmed with Endless, and the E-slit rotor is currently the best performing rotor when it comes to late braking. On top of the various slits wearing the brake pad evenly, the "E-slits" that cross the slots help generate additional bite in order to maximize the brake pads performance. In short, your pads are wearing evenly while still providing great gite and stopping power thanks to the slits and slots of the Endless E-Slit rotor. EDIT: I did confirm that Endless does offer the E-Slit rotors for the S2000. The front rotors retail for $355 a piece and the rears go for $285 per rotor. We are offering a few holiday specials but I won't spam this thread with all the possibilites; give us a call if you are interested. -Hunter This post has been edited by BulletProofAuto on Nov 19 2009, 02:04 PM |

That sounds like it was written by a marketing department. Best for late braking? Has anyone taken data on these vs. a comparably sized blank rotor? Details on the testing... car, track, etc.? Big selling point: how many track days can one expect to get out of them? They are a wear item after all. It doesn't really surprise me that Endless says they're the best. If I could get $1280 for a set of brake rotors I'd say they can cure cancer and make julienne fries too. -------------------- ![]() Alpine - BC Racing - Berk - Bride - HardDog - HKS - K&N - Polk - Rick's - Work

Umm, I think he's saying that these are the best for late braking out of the different types of rotors that Endless produces. And they probably do their own extensive product testing.
Would be interested to hear the answer to the question about lifespan. |

I'm in agreement with Gino on this one. "Best for late braking" lacks content and is a marketing term at best, especially when late braking takes into account tire width and compound, etc. Given the price, I'd hope they are good at a lot of other things such as pedal feel/modulation and consistency (I hear they are). Although the reputation of Endless is rock solid, I'd be curious to know if they publish any information related to design or testing.
I know of at least one person who tracks with an Endless setup, perhaps he will comment on longevity compared to a stock setup. -------------------- -Steve HelluvaJob | 2002 S2K | 2001 DC2R | 1995 Integra (sold 1/2007) | 1990 FZR 400 FS: Mugen & Defi Goodies
