lol when he said "this is how it shoulda come" I loled. These influencer salesmen

Lol I stopped the video right there ? Its really obvious lol.

It looks very similar to the HKS oil cooler, except it looks like it doesn't use the brake ducting. I still think W.O.T. has the cleanest look. Will be interesting to see the other designs

Anybody ran single piece rotors on track? It’s time to buy brakes and I’m having a hard time swallowing the price of the two piece rotors. I can get all 4 rotors for the price of one Girodisc. Leaning heavily towards going that route since I’ll only be doing 2-3 weekends in the car this year.

How much are OEM replacements?

i mean the real move is to use the 2 piece on track and the single for the street

Early FK8s had one piece, and they lived to tell the story. you'll be good either way. It's HPDE not national time attack, even then I think it would be fine as most use centric blanks on other platforms anyway

~$370 for the fronts. I didn’t ask about the rears.

Yea the FK8 is what made me lean heavier into trying it. I don’t care about the weight. They’ll likely not dissipate the heat as good but I don’t usually run full sessions anyway. I’m gonna go for it and try it out at Summit next month before making the longer drive to VIR in May.

I can find things again for a little while

Rock Auto might have them for cheaper with 5% off if you look up discs for a 2018 Civic Type R

Looks very functional. Position is good and gets proper ducting. Looks very ugly though ?

I'm waiting to see what W.O.T. comes out with, and also Wunderland racing. I really don't want a dual oil cooler though. I'd rather have one trans cooler, and one oil cooler.

Now those are the prices I'm looking for! I'll likely still order through our supplier at work just in case they don't work out. But I'm gonna give it a shot.

@PointByPatrol are you running Paragon R5 front and P3 rear? I feel like I read that somewhere but I'm lazy and don't wanna use the search function.

On the white car I tried R5 front and P3 rear, but quickly switched to R5's square. Currently I'm using DS3.12's in the front and R5's in the rear.

The R5/R5 combo seems to work the best if using Paragon pads.

There's also the SR11 camp and the C1X camp.

I'll report on the RP-1 soon enough.

i mean even this car has some black cut outs (not my photo)

Im not really a fan but at least with that it flows with the car design.

But hey at least the cutouts are functional and not just plastic vents for aesthetics so that's really all that matters tbh

That's per rotor FYI
