premium centrics are balanced. you can see the material removed at the edges. If they weren't then they probably weren't the premiums. check the part number.

I have been using centric rotors with carbotech xp10/8 pads. I am breaking new rotors almost everytime i track. They are cheap but lately i dont even get a complete day out of them. WTF! Is there such a thing as premium centrics? The centric rotors i get suck.

How many of you run ducted front and/or rear brakes? I would not track this car before doing at least the fronts- you're just throwing money down the toilet otherwise.

you're new here. I'm probably not the one you want to start a war with
Scary!

Honestly, you've hit all the high points.

- Talk about how much money you have

- Talk about how fast you are

- Threaten over the Internet.

Have you no shame? I thought this place was better than honda-tech.

You understand how the Internet works right? If I get banned I could be back as someone else tomorrow.

You know the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and hoping the outcome is different next time. Just kidding. Why not try OEM rotors and see how they hold up? $91 each but, at the rate you're cracking the centrics, it still might end up being cheaper. Rotor's aren't all the same no matter what people claim.

I started with the cheap centrics and worked my way up the food chain till I found a durable rotor that was cheaper than OEM. It just happened that the Crypo centrics were it. If they'd sucked, I'd have kept moving up.


None of you are running BBK's like the Stoptechs? You don't like them or just don't want to pay up?

A BBK serves no function for this vehicle; we're not fading or lacking in stopping power.

At least, not unless you're running some serious horsepower. Remember, the race guys have lightened what is already a relatively light car.

Another point of view: You can spend a few grand on a BBK, or you can get a whole lot of rotors for the same price. Which is more cost effective for you in the long run? YMMV.

True, I figured that out before I even bought my S2000 this summer.

For the relative cost, it make no sense to me why anyone would not add ducts unless its a points thing for their TT class or something
