Anyone ever use Adam's Rotors?

[EIPtuningR32]

I need new brakes and was wondering if anyone has ever run these rotors. Searched and didnt see anything about them other than the fact that they were "World Renowned."
If anyone has used them, how are they in track conditions with an aggressive pad?

click HERE for our 4th running Audizine thread, with the previous 3 linked within it.
they are FULL of pages and pages of feedback spanning over the last 6 years of our business growth.

this has been discussed a few times in the recent past.it was generally thought that the Adam's Rotors would be fine if you just need them for DD duties. FYI--none of their discs are 2-piece style rotors,like the OE front disc units.
i bought a full set of the OE brakes this past spring from Parts.com.they had a good/reasonable price on them~i'm sure there might be some places that had them cheaper,but they were in stock and ready to ship

I've been running Adams rotors up front with red stuff pads for about 6 months and have had no complaints. I havent gotten to trying them on the track, but i like to drive pretty aggresively and they do the job nicely. Just be aware they are made to order so it might take a while for you to actually get them

with the right pattern and pad combo, our rotors are phenomenal on the track.
...our double slotting is outstanding.

shoot us an email if you have any questions!

I've had Adam's Rotors (cross drilled and slotted) for several years now.
Have tracked them at Willow Springs International Raceway, Streets of Willow, Buttonwillow, Horsethief Mile, and Qualcomm Draglegal races. They perform wonderfully, no issues.

How much lighter is the Adam's rotors than the OEM rotors??

Sarcasm? You know dang well Adam's are heavier.

Can you guys make me two piece rotors? I am extremely hard on brakes.

[remembertofocus]

we have two divisions here at adam's rotors.

1. AR
AR is factory replacement, 1-piece cast plug n' play rotors: www.adamsrotors.com/info
this is 80% of our business, how we started, what we do, and what we're known for.
these discs are strictly factory fit, OEM spec, direct swap rotors.

2. AR braking
AR braking is for aftermarket big brake customers OR those interested in upgrading to them.
so, we have:
-2-piece rotor rebuild kits for existing StopTech, Brembo, Rotora customers: www.adamsrotors.com/BBK
or
-AR BBK: big brake kits by adam's rotors & StopTech, our own full kit w/AR discs & StopTech components.

realize 2-piece rotors are for weight savings and anyone's you'll find on the market will be THINNER and wear that much faster.
tho modular, you don't buy 2-piece discs for their rebuildability and few if any companies offer rebuild kits like us, nor are they affordable.

as for our rotor weights, as posted in our FAQ's:

"do adam's rotors weigh less?"

yes, but we don't advertise as a lightweight alternative because the difference is marginal, but they are lighter.
unless your a true race car driver and this car only sees the track, noone out there can truly feel/utilize this "unsprung" weight with brakes on a daily driver, that people are so worried about...and it is hardly worth the extra coin in our opinion, or the severely shorter lifespan of 2-piece LW alternatives for that matter. the blanks weigh less than stock blanks as is, and after machining, even less of course...drilled takes about .75lb from the fronts and about .5lb from the rears. slotted takes half that amount. drilled/slotted variations are somewhere between those two give or take, and a bit more when we look at our exclusive AR patterns.

on multiple occasions i have made my front OEM rotors bright orange. One piece rotors tend to warp due to temperature changes between the rotor and the hub. I didnt realize that your rotors were one piece.

Did you miss the post about my track experience with these?

NO issues with these rotors on track after years with them on, and many many many hours on track.

(btw, am an instructor at Willow Springs)

fwiw - I warped the stock two piece rotors at a top speed event at El Toro air strip.
The Adam's rotors went through the same event a year later without any issues. Same pad compound that warped the stock rotors. Your theory about one piece rotor warping where two piece rotors don't - is malarkey.

There's a lot more to it than just that part of the construction. Vane design, metallurgy, thickness of the halves, etc etc. Our OEM rotors are pretty darned good, since they were designed to stop a 4800 lb car. However, the 740iL they were designed for was not expected to go faster than 155mph or be used on a track. Even putting those brakes on a car 1400lbs lighter, it's got limits of how quickly it can dissipate heat.

no matter how you look at it, two rotor faces will always dissipate heat quicker with veined aluminum in between versus one solid rotor.

I had double slotted all around, now just the rears. I liked them, although the fronts did warp on me but I think it may have been my driving.

adams rotors?

[VRptstyly]

adams rotors?

Yup

[remembertofocus]

that's because warping IS driver caused.
it's not a defect or the rotors fault...it's the pedal usage at extreme temperatures and more so after the use while the rotors are still near a molten state.
let's not forget the discs come true, and any way you cut it is a steel disc faceing VERY high heat in a friction based environment.

with that said, thanks for all the feedback guys...
let me know of anyone has any other questions.
