D1 Racing Front Slotted Rotors

[cuscogtb]

Has anyone heard of the brand D1 Racing before?

Saw these on trademe and was wondering if anyone knows if they are worth getting?

They look the business but looks can be deceiving.

Opinions please.

For that money you might as well get a set of Znoelli rotors. At least theyre proven to be reasonably good.

It says on the auction they are solid as well. I'd assume this means not vented??

[funkytown]

znoelli are tops eh, give club subbers discount as well

[cuscogtb]

Who else stocks Zonellis apart from repco? Repco quoted me $419 for a set of fronts slotted, and he said it'll cost a lil more for slotted and dimpled.

Anyone know where I can score some for a bit cheaper? Otherwise I was thinking of giving the D1 ones a go...

[funkytown]

is that a trick question..

go direct and say your Club sub, they should look after you, and they do matching high temp pads as well. I got the S12 rotor and pads - thoroughly reccommend

My S12 slotted ones cost me about $280 i think delivered. Good service from those fellahs.

Thanks mate. Couldn't find their website before cos I was spelling Znoelli wrong lol.

Ill get some of their site as they're way cheaper than repco, they mark up the price hardout!

+1 got the same setup on my WRX along with Goodridge braided lines very nice performance ;D though i swear the discs work like cheese graters and the pads the cheese lol dust buildup is insane especially when you're doing heavy/left foot braking. Anyone else with this setup suffering from the same symptoms? (Pros outweigh cons so I still highly recommend this setup)

Ive got myself the slotted/dimpled Znoellis. Getting fitted tomorrow along with 4pots and Bendix Ultimate pads. Should be mint

Post up pics aye bro when ya done 8)

[Guest keltik]

Yeah those slotted rotors kill pads in short order. My last set of bendix ultimates lasted 8,000kms and 2 track days so not too bad.

Awesome when things get really hot at the track tho - I never got total brake loss like with the flat rotors

And they make a cool noise when you hit the anchors hot from 200

The Znoelli rep told me the S6 rotors are a much more friendly animal than the S12's but the S12 is better for track work.

oh yeah? gonna give the S12's a go on my 4pots 8)

[Guest keltik]

I geta bit more vibration with them with the 4 pots compared to the floating 2 pots. Around town its not noticeable - only in high speed braking.

They do look AWESOME tho

[8e4r]

For the price you pay, it's an awesome piece of kit oh yea that "cool noise" you mentioned, scared the hell out of me the first time I heard it thought something bad was going to happen haha then I remembered..."oh right got slotted discs now" ;D

[cuscogtb]

4pots on, Bendix heavy duty pads, Znoelli slotted/dimpled rotors.

[MINTGTB]

How easy is it to change the rotors on the Leggy's? Do they just float on the hub or is it a wheel bearing change job?

Real easy bro, they're just floating on the hub. Nice avatar

[Guest]

Hmmm, cool. So you just whip off the caliper and then the discs come off... excellent (I see an upgrade in my future lol!).

Yeah bro, you just clamp the brake hose to prevent the pistons from pushing out, If you got like a hard bristle brush, give the hub a clean and pop on the new rotor. Easy peasy bro 8)
