[ECSTuning]

ECS Tuning engineered 2-Piece semi-floating rotors offer real world benefits that can be felt on both the street and track! Our 2-Piece rotors combine the advantages of weight savings and rapid heat dissipation to provide a rotor superior to stock while preventing warping and extending component life. The reduction of unsprung weight (by 4 pounds per rotor) improves handling characteristics under all situations. This reduction in rotational inertia allows for quicker acceleration, decreased braking distances, and more responsive handling.




Features include:

• Aluminum hats: To save weight, each rotor ring is bolted to a lightweight aluminum hat made from high quality 6061 aluminum, and hard anodized with an attractive matte black finish that is both durable and corrosion resistant.
  
  
• Gray cast iron rings: Long known for its wear resistance and stable friction characteristics, cast iron is favored for brake rotors due to its ability to absorb and dissipate large amounts of heat.
  
  
• 2-Piece construction: Conventional rotors are unable to cope with the stress of drastic heat fluctuations and are prone to warping. ECS 2-Piece semi-floating rotors allow the radial expansion of the rotor ring - preventing warping.
  
  
• Directionally veined: Conventional 135i rotors are straight-veined, and rely on an inefficient centrifuge-like effect to evacuate hot air from within the rotor. ECS 2-Piece rotors feature curved, directional veins that accelerate air away from the rotor at a higher velocity, leading to consistent, rapid cooling.
  
  
• Drilled and slotted: 2-Piece rotors are cross drilled to promote cross ventilation for improved cooling as well as slotted to clean brake pads and carry away water and brake dust. Cleaner brake pads result in faster, more consistent stopping. Drilled holes are chamfered while slots are machined with a ball end mill - both to prevent cracking that may be present on improperly machined rotors.
  
  
• Overall weight savings: This particular ECS 2-Piece rotor weighs only 17.8 lb compared to a stock 135i rotor (22.5 lb) and a BMW Performance 135i rotor (21.4 lb). Lighter rotors reduce unsprung weight and rotational mass to improve both braking and suspension performance.

$500.00 for a pair, right?? How about rears??

[1911A145]

Yea, I would love to know If you sell or make the rear pairs, too.

Correct they are priced as a front pair

At the current time we do not have two piece rotors for the rear of the 135i in production. Currently I suggest our ECS GEOMET rotors for the rear, I have them avaible in Cross Drilled And Slotted (LINK) as well as only Slotted (LINK)

How long is the deal on for the free shipping?

[ECSTuning]

Bimmer B - Thanks to pushing by all of us on the BMW team the free shipping inside the continental USA currently does not have an expiration date!

These look really nice! Couple of questions.
1 - Do you offer replacement rings?
2 - If not, are you planning on offering them?
3 - Any plans on producing a set for the rear?
Thanks,

1 - At the current time we do not offer replacement rings
2 - We are looking into it but we don't have a definite yes or no as of yet
3 - These are also being looked into by our team, in the mean time I'm directing guys to our ECS GEOMET rear rotors found HERE.

Thank you for the response.
The rings are a big deal to me as this would be the main reason for spending the extra money for a 2pc design. Please keep me posted on this as it progresses as I am looking to buy new rotors ASAP.

For the rears, do you have a photo of a car with the ECS 2pc front and ECS GEOMET rear on the same car? I would want these to match in appearance as closely as possible.

Finally, what pads would you recommend going with these? I typically hit 1-2 auto x events a year and have about 20k miles of highway driving per year.

Thanks again,

I just might have to be the guinea pig and purchase all 4 corners for my upcoming brake/rotor change.

If you do PLEASE post pix. I am really interested in seeing what the front/back look like on a car with wheels on it.

[ECSTuning]

I don't have a shot of them both on car, but here's a side by side using some of our shots of the rotors to give you an idea of how the rotors look together

Thanks again,

I've got good news. When you're ready for a re-ring ECS will offer discounts on pairs of replacement rotors to the original customer or customers showing proof of ownership. Please contact me or our sales staff for more info.

So I just ordered a set, how do I go about registering?

[ECSTuning]

^First off congrats!! You're going to love those rotors!

As long as you remember the email on your ECS account you're already set up for the re ring credit. Just make sure to shoot me a PM or contact our sales guys when the time comes. There are a few special procedures which have to be taken during ordering but it'll be an easy process for you!

I am in the same boat as you... Would love to hear someones experience with them before purchase.

[BSM 135i]

Just placed an order for these and the 4 ECS stainless rotor set screws last night, gonna pair them with BMW performance rear rotors and cool carbon pads.

[ECSTuning]

BSM 135i - congrats, let me know how you like them once they arrive!

PLEASE post photos once you get them installed!
