Default ECS rotors.... Frozen....

I'm looking into getting a set of CarboTech Bobcat pads for my brakes. Damn, the oem Audi stuff is dusty as hell.

The Bobcat's can withstand more heat, so less fade.
They are a great street/AX pad.

Now, how about rotors that will disipate the heat quicker themselves ?

Frozen Rotors look nice, but are stock oem Audi.= Heavy.

Anyone use the new ECS rotors yet ?
CrossDrilled/Slotted and much lighter.
Also 2 peice/floating, so less unsprung weight......

Any thoughts ? Much cheaper than a bbk.

Default Not sure, did we ever get any resolution from the thread the other day re: floating rotors?

Some were concerned since we have floating calipers whether rotors that floated laterally as well were appropriate. Especially given the weight of the car.

Default So, our Calipers float ?

and having a floating rotor would be NG ?

Did ECS ever post anything as to the testing they did ?
Who's S4 was the guinea pig ?

Not sure, but I seem to do pretty well with my frozen oem rotors.
