My next brake discs and pads: What is your choice?

**grizz** · July 28th, 2007, 21:37

Well , I've just had my pad warning light come on, I've done 3000miles on this set of RED EBC PADS . I've got some pagid black , phaeton ducks and castrol srf brake fluid . I'll fit on Monday and re post back in a week .

**intended_accel** · April 29th, 2008, 06:19

I can't stand the squealing any more!!! I don't care if there is only 5K on the new front pads. The the noise in the office garage every morning is worse than nails on a chalk board, and embarassing to boot. Add the fact that I have to clean my front wheels every other day, and it's just not worth it. Any suggestions from the board other than what has been previously posted in this thread?

Thanks!

IA

IA? This isn't Alex is it?

**jimmy94507** · April 29th, 2008, 16:24

Hi IA,

I'd be willing to discuss your issue.
However, searching posts from you, I was unable to find one with more details regarding your brake setup, etc., and how you drive your car.
Send me e-mail with some details. Send a phone # and time for me to call you.
jimmys@cableone.net

Regards,
Jimmy S.

For those in Europe, someone posted earlier in this thread that Movit had a 370mm rotor and shim so you can use your RS6 8 piston caliper. If that rotor is available, I recommend you investigate obtaining it as long as you can still use your OEM 18" wheels. We don't know anything about exporting rotor pieces to Europe??

Regards, Jimmy S.

I have the 370mm Movit rotors and they do clear 18" wheels (stock RS6 and BBS I use for winter).

I do have Movit caliper though ..... so I do not know if it will fit the original 8 piston stock (have those sitting in the garage ...)

And the rotor is available (just ordered replacemets), replacement rotor is not expensive however I do not know what the new rotor and hat would cost - check with Movit guys here:

Hi hahnmgh63. No, not Alex....

Jimmy, thanks for the quick reply. PM forthcoming, but for the record, it's a fully stock setup with OEM everything to my knowledge. Bought it last October and just haven't brought myself to change much of anything...yet. As for driving style, it depends upon the day of the week and the time of day. Weekdays, it's a commutermobile unless it's in the evening and I find a good section of road (or more importantly, the weekend). Then I drive it quite hard. Otherwise, what's the point in owning such a machine? BTW, squeal is only on light braking. Haven't gotten to the track, yet. Likely will once I get a set of dedicated rubber. It rains alot here, so daily tread will be geared towards rain and some snow, but I want summer performance for track days.

Hi all,

We're putting together another order here in the US for rotors which directly replace the OEM rotor using the stock caliper.

Go to this thread for the post by JP4 on page one.
Some pictures. More performance info on other pages of the thread.

approximately $1000 for a set (reusable hat), plus shipping

Send me e-mail if you're interested.

Try Movit ceramic brake because I think it deserves the money!

Here are some pics of my 396mm ceramic brake:

**DuckWingDuck** · June 5th, 2008, 17:59

damn, how much are movit ceramics?

**peiserg** · June 5th, 2008, 19:33

guys this is from my email between myself and jimmy

basically jimmy said we can get a group buy price on orders of 10 or more.

I'm in for a set.

SO... te short version is as follows.... when it's time to replace the rotors, it only sets you back $175 per rotor instead of the OEM $480ish.

You do need to purchase the reusable "hat" the first time tho. so the first time through, there is no savings. Jimmy's starting on his 2nd set, so he's already saved about $600!!

I don't know how we will handle the finances, I've met jimmy personally (though I didn't run a credit check!). perhaps we can pay direct to the company?

I'm down for a set. I will purchase a second set of rings if it puts us over the top, price wise. I'm sure i'll need them, and the prices will only go up...along with shipping.

> Just got off the phone - current prices
> "Reusable" HAT $273 ea,
> + Ring $175.15 ea + slots $16.25/rotor
> + hardware(20 bolts/washers + 40 nuts) $?? + shipping $ ??
> (I'll check my records for what I have on hardware and previous
> shipping)
> I'd suggest having a machinist true up the rotors after assemby.
>
> Lead time on Hats are 2 to 3 weeks after submitting order.
> How desperate are you?
> (I have a spare set of unused track rotors which have been trued)
> We may be in Phoenix on 10 & 11 June? Should know our plans by tomorrow?

From this pic you can find how Movit dose a fantastic work on their ceramic brake. They are even better than any stock ceramic brake or PCCB...

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the kind words!!
We do not make any $'s on these rotors. Our goal is to break even; not lose money.
Actually, we lose a lot of time and effort getting the word out, consolidating the order, collecting the $'s, arranging shipping, etc. , so others can benefit from the rotor's improved performance.
I used to worry about when my brakes would start to fade. Now, I have to really overdrive the car, not get a cool down lap, and then will get pedal softness in the paddock. These rotors with proper pads are confidence inspiring.

Regards, Jimmy S.
P.S. - Ben, any update on your possible trip?
