Far too many variables and not nearly enough data or delta between results to draw any strong conclusions from this test. |

Again.. I'm curious as well but not curious enough to invest the time effort and money to produce data that will satisfy everybody. It is what it is lmao

Speed, temperature over time at a couple different locations and some hand wavey math would probably get the job done pretty well and bore 95% of the readers to death. :P I mostly posted that to try and calm down @churchx your data is totally reasonable and I'm glad you did it. As always people will draw what conclusions they will. |

While the minor difference between the 100-0 test may or may not be explained away by the lack of precise control of the pressure I put on the brake pedal, and as similar as these rotors seem to be there are differences that don't seem like they'd be a big deal. There may be things about them different that is worth considering. One had anti-rust coating, the other doesn't. The castings are very similar but definitely not identical. The base metal used is probably not from the same foundry and there's probably differences in the composition of the metal. All of these things may contribute to the heat retention or dissipation characteristics. I'm not willing to invest any more time to investigate further than I've already. If someone else would like to do so I would be glad. Otherwise... "it is what it is.. "

I spent a few months performing thermal tests for work, based on the data and test methodology you presented, imho your test is inconclusive and the results are not significant enough to draw any conclusions.

Since you have the expertise.. would you test them out using what you'd consider acceptable methodology? What rotors are you running now?

I'm still on oem after 70k miles, but they're probably due to be replaced this summer. If you read back on my earlier posts I'm off the opinion any reputable brand will offer a comparable lump of metal and I have no interest spending several hundred dollars (hell maybe thousands to get what I would actually trust) and dozens of hours setting up a test. I'm glad you did yours, it's neat, but it's easy to see 10-20 degrees of unexpected results in even tightly controlled thermal tests in isolated chambers, put a test out in the wild without accurately measuring your environment? I'm only looking at your test with the 1x and 2x 100-0 stops, you don't see a difference greater than 15 degrees between the different front rotors. I'll cross shop the raybestos and centric and buy whichever is cheaper. |

2 years later. Currently running and almost through with the stoptech and my 25% of the original HC800+ before these went on.
Hard runs in the canyon does not phase it as badly compared to Centric + Stoptech or HC800+. I can almost do an extra run up and down that road before it starts to fade (10-15minute-ish run). Not sure how they are priced now, but I would definitely recommend these over Centric any day of the week, if they cost only a few bux apart.
