  • We have installed Rotora's Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit on our 2022 WRX! Rotora introduces the latest version of Carbon-Ceramic Brake System (RCCBS), using an all-new innovative continuous fiber construction technique to ensure a significant reduction in rotational mass and uncompromised fade-free performance under all extreme driving conditions. With an improved Carbon Fiber Reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) formulation, Rotora’s new innovative material further decreases thermal expansion, increases resistance to wear and operating life of the discs to many times that of conventional equivalents.

    Was there any weight savings over the Brembos? Would there be any weight savings over the stock OEM brakes?

    • @Subimods
      @Subimods  9 місяців тому +2

      We did not weigh these against the Brembos, but we have been meaning to weigh the other Rotora offerings on our website VS the OEM brakes.

    So one of my concerns and maybe someone else's is pads. I know you guys sell the complete kit but replacement pads aren't linked or listed on the website.

      Replacement pads are no issue at all, not something we keep on hand as there are 4 different compounds Rotora offers! I'll let an internal memo out to work on getting these listed

    What size wheels do I need to make Rotora break kit fit. I just ordered some apex forged vs-5rs 18 * 9.5 wheels wondering which break kit would fit.

    • @Subimods
      @Subimods  8 місяців тому

      We have Rotora Caliper Fitment guides for all of the brake kits we have listed on our website, so you can cut out the template and test fit it on your wheels to make sure they clear. Given they clear the OEM wheels with a 4mm spacer max, most aftermarket wheels shouldn't be an issue. We have never utilized a set of Apex wheels, so we cannot comment. Feel free to email support@subimods.com to obtain the caliper fitment templates.

      The carbon ceramic kit is not a kit designed for the average street car, and we wanted it for our halo car to show case the top of the line brake kits. We have 3 offerings for the VB Rotora line, starting at $3,999: subimods.com/collections/2022-wrx-brakes#/filter:vendor:Rotora/filter:product_type:Big$2520Brake$2520Kits

      We dont have them listed but we can offer them if there is enough interest. As far as weight, I did not throw the rotors on the scale but I can tell you that the ceramic rotors are at least half the weight of the steel rotors.
