Rotor Replacement?

[trackday14]

Has anyone with a FE6 replaced their rotors yet? If so, what is your source for the replacements? Dealership seems unreasonably high…(no surprise).

Suggest checking out these guys... I'm liking what I see, and they have been super-responsive in rapidly developing kits for us Emira owners

Replaced my fronts, trying to sort some rear bells at the moment.

OEM don't seem over the top with regards to price but considering they are made of cheese are not much use as brakes.

Any one else's rotors aren't perfectly round? This is in multiple places on all my rotors

That's normal on some batches for balancing.

Why are you guys replacing rotors already!?

How many track days on those before they developed cracks?

Two, but I do have aggressive pads.

These look great, and way more suited for purpose than the stock rotor.

Did you source directly from Alcon? Or from a third party?

From Seriously Lotus, listed as Evora 4XX series front discs, 370mm.

Nice, guess there's no matching rear rotor yet since the ebrake is different on the Emira.

There will be soon. Working on it.

These are milled off (weight correction) from "Dynamic Balancing". Weight unbalance can happen from the sand core shift during the casting process.
A good tooling/molding can minimize or avoid the weight correction, but if unavoidable the mill off should keep the disc surface intact like so.

For your consideration is a 380/350 rotor kit (vs. OE 370/350)

These are fully floating right? How bad is the rattle at low speeds? Also, have you heard of any progress regarding the rears?
