Hey everyone,
I have been making Custom Tesla Roadster 2-Piece Slotted Rotors since 2015. We have 85 cars on the road with these rotors with drivers reporting shorter stopping distances and better braking response. Here is a quick overview of the product I have been making:
Quick Spec's of the custom 2 piece rotor we're making:
a) 2 piece design - Aluminum Nickel plated inner hat with cast steel outer rotor ring.
*Allows for even heat distribution across the steel brake rotor disc. Less chance of warping.
*Inner aluminum hat reduces weight, at the wheel its called "unsprung" weight. Benefits include quicker acceleration, quicker braking, and quicker response from the suspension.
b) Slotted brake rotor / disc
*This helps clean the brake pad by scraping it of foreign particles / debris.
c) Metal treatment to prevent corrosion
*The inner aluminum hat will be coated with a nickel plating
*The outer steel brake disc will have two metal treatments performed. The first will be using a process called FNC which is the same metal treatment process that Chevy uses on the Volt to prevent rust on the discs. The second will be a black oxide coating, this gives a black / anodized look to the rotor and also protects it from corrosion. Both these treatments have shown to help improve performance of braking under wet conditions/rain. The FNC is a stronger treatment than the black oxide.
d) The inner aluminum hat will be coupled to the steel rotor using a total of eight 5/16" (grade 5) fasteners. These fasteners will be safety wired tied.
Here are the previous threads about the rotors for background:
Custom Aluminum Rotors - A possibility
Now Shipping: Custom Tesla Roadster 2-Piece Slotted Rotors
To make these I need to have 20 owners committed since it's so much upfront cash to make a batch. At this time I am starting a list for the next batch that I am planning getting started in the first quarter of 2019.
If you are interested, please e-mail me([email protected]) the following info so I can start to create a new list:
1) Name
2) Mailing / Delivery Address
3) Phone / Contact Number
4) Email Address
5) Would you like G-Loc brake pads? [Yes/No] If Yes, R-6 or GS-1 compound.
Please post on this thread to keep bumping it up so we can get these going as soon as possible.
