[QUOTE="legos_mustang, post: 14560703, member: 124495"] These are easily the best rotors I have ever owned. I was set on getting the Ford Racing 15" rotors with 6 piston calipers. But looking at the Ford Rotors, you could tell that they were massively heavy (32.4 lbs) and had a crappy low end method of ventilation. But I knew a couple of people that went ahead and shelled out the money, and all said it was well worth the money spent, and that they did brake better and hold off fade. Personally, I've thought the Brembo 14" 4 piston brakes were just about right. I wouldn't have minded a 6 piston 14" setup, but the 4 piston calipers we have do a pretty good job. And they do a FANTASTIC job when you couple them with some lightweight 2 piece well vented rotors such as these. Out of the box I could tell they were high quality. They are directionally vaned which simply means they create much more of a vacuum, and cool much better. Also, they didn't skimp on the vanes. Some lower end 2-piece rotors will have as few as 36 or fewer vanes, which takes longer to cool. These have close to twice that (maybe more... I didn't count... just noticed how nice they were). And all this weighing in at just over 18 lbs. And while that is slightly more than half the weight of the Ford Rotors, it is less than half the moment of inertia, meaning how difficult they are to start / stop spinning and/or change direction in a turn. I could notice it right away, even with my heavy 19" wheels. I haven't had a chance to take it on the track yet, but I can already tell the car turns in much easier and it doesn't fight rapid turns... you can really notice the unsprung weight off the car... All for 1/3 of the price. If you are looking to upgrade your brakes, it all depends on what you want to use your car for, but in general, having driven both the new 15", 6 pot calipers and current Brembo calipers with these rotors My recommendation would be: If you don't have the Brembo brake option on your Mustang, spend your money on the 6 piston 15" rotors, but if you do already have the Brembo's, buy a quality set of two piece rotors like these and use the money save to buy some lightweight wheels. You will turn better, stop just as fast, and fade shouldn't be a problem, especially with vents. Anyway, here's a few shots of them on my car. [ATTACH=full]614745[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]614746[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]614747[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]614748[/ATTACH] For the record I only bought the front rotors, I have a Baer Eradispeed +2 14" 2-piece lightweight rotor on the back of the car.
