These look interesting:

Currently have the BMW Performance ones, but would consider these down the line. Anyone have experience with ECS Rotors for other applications?

just got email notification from them regarding these rotors. they look good and priced right. need to know how much replacement rings cost

BrokenVert · 05-11-2012, 04:51 PM

arent they priced same as the perf rotors?

Also I dont see rears.

RaihaX · 05-11-2012, 05:52 PM

that is cool - more options for us.

Everfly · 05-11-2012, 06:13 PM

Damn so nice and the price

JDUni1 · 05-11-2012, 06:15 PM

Nice rotors! I got the email too, would like to see rears as well

Rodzilla · 05-11-2012, 06:58 PM

Come brake replacing time. I'll be looking at these.

RaihaX · 05-11-2012, 09:52 PM

hopefully someone will have a review on them soon.

I hope they release rotors for the rear too!

1&done · 05-12-2012, 09:12 AM

If I cannot source the "diesel boost" adapters I will go this route.

BrokenVert · 05-12-2012, 09:20 AM

Ive got a brakejob due up in July by my estimations. Id be curious as to how these actually perform...but I relaly dont want to be a guinea pig.

Also I can get a full set of perf rotors (4), CC pads, and new fluid for about $800. Think these will save me money in that regard?

Elsabor67 · 05-12-2012, 12:02 PM

I saw them the other day and the looked very interesting as another option for 2-piece rotors. Price is decently good too. Like others, i'm looking forward to see a review on them and pricing on the replacement rings.

I have their SS lines now and they are great.

yandy · 05-12-2012, 12:10 PM

looks interesting, I may need a track replacement soon and will be looking at these.

Focusedintntions · 05-12-2012, 02:43 PM

Dammit I just ordered rotors this week...these were only 100 bucks more....oh well next time.

BiscottiGelato · 05-12-2012, 09:37 PM

Seems to be still more for looks than anything? It's 2 piece, but still very thin (26mm), and the vent doesn't seem to be of the convergent vane design. I am having doubt on whether the heat removal capability of these rotors are anywhere near close to that of the RB rotors or the E46 M3 Competition Rotors.

At the same price, those E46 M3 Competition rotors are a real bargain. Can't we find some vendor to help us mass manufacture those Diesel boost adapters? I guess we can easily find 20/30 people on this forum to form a group purchase so there are some traction on it?

Mybad135 · 05-12-2012, 11:03 PM

they look sweet...i want back rotors too hope they come out with those too soon

I may have a pair soon, first stop machine shop to copy.

JK07 · 05-14-2012, 08:06 PM

Looking for front replacement for my 135i. Are they any good.

I am looking to repalce my front rotors, and brake pads. Any other suggestions

1&done · 05-14-2012, 10:34 PM

BMWP maybe?

The ECS rotors are $500ea.!?!? or a pair? e46m rotors which are larger and wider are <$250...

At the current time we do not have rear 2 piece rotors in production. I've been directing guys towards our ECS GEOMET Rotors (seen HERE for the rear of the 135) for now .

At about a 20% weight reduction of a standard rotor it'd be a nice drop in rotational mass for you.

They are priced in pairs.

RaihaX · 05-15-2012, 07:00 PM

Has there been any feedback/review on people using this rotor ?

what kinda of testing have these been pu through? With the RB debacle lately I'm a bit skeptical specially being a guinea pig at the track. I've been using the EBC Sport Slotted for the track and they've been great, no warping, last a long time.

But two piece rotors are a much better investment if they've gone through proper testing.
