The veins and the ‘pumping’ action You’re talking about is very similar to how a fire engine pumps water. It uses essentially a giant veined brake rotor (usually made of brass) and instead of pumping air, they pump water. Cool stuff!
How are these in comparison to function werk 2 piece rotors for the tlx type s? I see weight reduction is about the same. Any other benefits to go with one over the other?
Functionally, effectively the same. They are just different. The RB rotors are center-mounted which balances the heat buildup on the inner and outer surfaces better.
what is your opinion of fuction werk rotors ? I like the looks of them better then these .. they are more money . i was hoping you could give me an honest opinion ..they would be going on a 23 type s. thank you for all your hard work .

These are awesome rotors for sure. They do not make squeaking noise but there is a little more groan getting on and off the pedal from stock. The friction is higher on the RB pads and rotors. but normal driving, no noise.
I’m looking at getting the racing brake TL type S rotors and it says “RB 2 piece rotors w/Brembo caliper”. I’m assuming it comes with a new caliper but for $832 it seems kind of cheap and I can’t find any more info on it
Thanks for checking ou the site! Not quite right. The rotors title says "RACINGBRAKE 2-PIECE BRAKE ROTOR SET, FRONT &REAR, 4PC, 2021+ ACURA TLX (TYPE-S SPEC BREMBO)" That means it is a 2-piece rotor set, for TLX with Brembo calipers.
I've always been a fan of girodiscs two-piece rotors. They are so nice to look at. RB two piece is something I want to try but I would hate to spend the $3k for pads and rotors and not like them for my RCF... I wish they would have options for the hat color. Being black is just so stock looking. Doesn't have to be in your face but it would be nice to have an option of a little color. That's one of the reasons I love GiroDiscs, the hat is a pretty blueish/gray color.
For sure we have had great success with the RB pads, the XT910 for street use. www.heeltoeauto.com/index.php?p=catalog&mode=search&search_in=all&search_str=tlx+xt910
@@Heeltoe. That's great to hear. I want something that's a bit of an upgrade from stock but will still work nicely with the factory 17-in wheels. It doesn't necessarily have to be the quad pistons with the two-piece rotors because I think you have to have 18s or 19s for those, and where I live. Hitting a pothole with 19s or even 18's will result in a very large repair bill.
