James,

Love the OLC!!! It was badass before but is on a whole 'nother level now.

James you guys are killing it! You, Mary and David are a testament of what teamwork can accomplish. Everything looks bitchin!!

I saw you went with the Kooks and was wondering what the tweeks to the the driver and passenger sides were. Pics of the mods? Were there any other considerations? The AME's or Stainless Works? I am heading into these same waters.

:cheers:

It's been a while since we have been able to make any headway on the OLC - hopefully that changes next week as we are SEMA bound to represent the great folks at Spectre Performance. We've got a bunch (tons) of work to do but I think everything should come together well.

Baer sent us one of the first productions sets of their all new R-Spec 2-piece floating rotors - not only are they one more tool in helping to completely eliminate pad knockback but they are 3 pounds lighter (each) and are designed for "extreme" use.

Can you explain the comment about knock back. Is that rotor actually "floating" on that hat? That is pretty interesting if so! I'm not sure how that would work though?

James,

Sweet looking parts there.

When do you think you'll be able to test them out?

Vince@Meanstreets 09-22-2013 01:07 PM

That's what it looks like. Very interesting.

James, do you know what material the standoffs are?

Track Junky 09-22-2013 01:18 PM

Those are sweet.....and just in time. I'm due for a front set of rotors :thumbsup:

Yes, the rotor is floating on the hat, within bounds. Instead of the mounting hardware bolting the rotor rigidly to the hat, the hat defines a circular array of U-shaped slots, with the U pointing outward. The mounting hardware is like a pin which is inserted through the U-slot, and bottoms out before it clamps the hat to the rotor, leaving some clearance. So now, the rotor can expand radially, and shift laterally, while still transferring brake torque to the hat.

This arrangement has been used in high-performance and motor sports brakes for many years; Baer is quite late to this game relative to other premium brake vendors. But as a current Baer owner, and serious knockback sufferer, this is good news!
