Racing Brake GS Stock Rotors- Very Good Rotors
Anybody from our CL member tried RacingBrake Products? The manufacturer is in NJ. Anyway I just received this rotor today for me try on. Last year I replaced my Brembo drilled rotor twice and the second one is almost bad due warping and my rear brake rotors is now showing warping, small rusted holes looks like salt damaged the rotor metal.

I have a complete set from Rotora but they are not in the running on the poll. I also had a complete set for my ES and I was very impressed with them. No warping after almost two years.

They are actually one piece rotors. RB is developing a two piece rotors for GS owner sometime this summer. It will out for sale by May. They also sells big brake upgrades for other cars.

Will you still try the 2 piece rotors when they come out ?
I'm actually looking forward to those most of all. Also did RB give any indication about the price of the 2 piece rotors?
Thanks

Will the new 2 piece rotors be available in drilled?
How much does a stock rotor weigh?

The lexus stock rotors are straight vane design.
Please read our article on vane design to help you understand the difference between our vane design vs. the others:
http://www.racingbrake.com/main/rotor_vane_design.asp
Center-mount
The center-mount flanges for hat mounting to the rotor ring have several benefits:
- It allows the ring to be used on either side of the vehicle simply by mounting the hat on either side of the ring (unidirectional).
- The stress load transferred from the ring to the hat is balanced.
- Air inlets are widely open to both inboard and outboard sides of the rotor. More air suctions and even temperature on both sides of the disc surface.
- Heat transfer from the disc surfaces to the hat is even and minimized by increasing the flange length and the airflow around the flanges.
- Mounting flanges are on both friction surfaces ultimately provides excellent heat balance.
You can find all of this information and more, on our website.
