[BULL]

How did the testing go, this is killing me. lol I want to lose some weight for drag racing.

BTW, to be fair, do not wait on me, my best answer is... "It's complicated"...

Ok, thanks. I wanted to spend my money with you vs the big guys. I will look into this in the future when you release the product. Thanks

Ready to buy or be your tester. Do you plan to offer a 400mm option for the 2021+ cars?

350, 380, 390 and 400*** and much more are in the plans. Once we validate, we really can almost do any size as we are not limited by traditional manufacturing methods for casting.

Make sure to watch this one in full 4K res

As for people lined up to be test drivers, I think you've got an entire forum ahead of you...


(***400mm will probably get cheated down a tiny fraction because of machine limitations, but nothing that anybody would notice, hell, it will help reduce rotational inertia even that much more)

I think im gonna send my boat to Satera so ill have em put a set of CC's on the fronts at least. Think im gonna use my 3.8 or maybe TT's havnt decided yet. Leaning towards the blower/N2o.

The rears are getting the 15 inch conversion and im told that rotor weighs about 9 lbs so not sure what option there are for CC rear rotors in a 15 inch and at 9 lbs thats pretty light, in fact thats the weight of CC's in the rear in stock size.

Anyone aware of a 15 inch rear CC rotor for this platform?

From what ive discovered:

Stock Front Rotor: 31 lbs.
Stock Rear Rotor: 24 lbs. 110 lbs. of rotating mass.

Demon Performance Front Rotor: 24 lbs. (7 lb Difference vs. Stock)
Demon performance Rear Rotor: 19 lbs. (5 lb Difference vs. Stock). 86 lbs of rotating mass. 24 lbs of rotating mass reduced over stock.

Carbon Ceramic Front Rotor: 15 lbs. (16 lb Difference vs. Stock and 9 lb Difference over DP)
Carbon Ceramic Rear Rotor: 12 lbs. (14 lb Difference vs. Stock and 9 lb Difference over DP) 54 lbs of rotating mass. 56 lbs of rotating mass removed over stock

So u can clearly see the weight advantage with carbon vs. the DP rotors is greater than the weight difference between the DP rotors and stock.

Thats about 28 lbs of rotating mass..... Thats a lot. I have the DP rotors on my Trackhawk and Redeye ive done everything I can think of for weight reduction so im considering the carbons now. They seem to be woth the extra money at 28 lbs of rotating mass removed.

Thats about 150 lbs of dead weight removed. Of course its not the first thing I would do to remove weight its clearly the LAST thing ppl should do imo but considering stocks weigh TWICE as much its a good mod imo.

I just put them on my Redeye and the car clearly leaves harder from a roll now. Thats fact. Also brakes better and handles bette. Put them on Trackhawk as soon as I bought so I compare the two there. My Turbo Mustang has em as well.

Yes weight reduction is a thing, but, if you need help jumping off the fence, the braking advantage over steel rotors is the other factor!

Where'd you find the ceramic rotors

Looks nice and clean under there. 👏

Black ops sells em and so does Racing Brake over in the Uk I think.

Wondering what the weight difference between the two are. Demon rotors are pretty dam light. Wondering if the $16k is worth the reduced weight that carbon offers.

Did you buy the cf rotors?
