I mean rotors are just Iron. No matter how cheap they are, its the OTHER Components.

[@Njazmo]

@@wolfitsolutions5502 there are a lot of grades of iron, some are softer some harder, just like other metals.

[@wolfitsolutions5502]

@@Njazmo I'm sure being DOT approved there has to be a MINIMAL requirement that the material has to be before it can be safely operated on a vehicle. Therefor as I stated, even the cheapest DOT approved rotor will do the job for basic driving. Its the other components that matter more. But the keyword is BASIC DRIVING. That means don't be doing Dragstrip runs on entry level braking components. As there are more durable braking solutions that are not only better for that but Safer. But for normal street driving it would be truly overkill. You would get better performance if you just used a bigger caliper and Master Cylinder. Also fluid plays a big role too.

I was thinking you might want to look at the suspension parts, the brake flexi hose, the diff and hub ends of the driveshaft as extreme heat would have travelled up any contact points, certainly I would imagine at least the hub side of the driveshaft oil seals and UJ bearings likely damaged. The caliper too I imagine is toast as you can see the valleying in the disc where the caliper is allowed to move excessively creating uneven wear.

Greetings from Texas! Love the videos y'all keep it up. Beautiful supra btw

[@silentferret1049]

To be honest, the older disc would have been more properly broken in with its use before the tests. Meaning the molecular formation would have been better. The new one more or less went straight to hot tests and abuse so it would have been weaker. This is what I have heard and seen from tests of alloys like what rotors tend to be made of. So given that aspect, if they could have gotten new but properly broken in rotors instead of fresh off the shelf then it would have been a better test of aftermarket parts and OEM parts. So I consider this test more of a fresh vs properly broken in parts.

[@CMDRSweeper]

That effect of the water not touching the brake rotor is called the leidenfrost effect, where the surface of what the fluid is touching is much greater than the fluids boiling temperature, the fluid closest to the hot surface will rapidly boil causing an air gap between the surface and the fluid. Therefore the fluid won't have contact with the surface :)

Still haven't changed it yet lol.

[@TOM-C.]

You guys need to do this experiment in such a way it actually helps other racers by using some high carbon steel racing rotors compared to regular street, and maybe even middle of the pack rotors. Also, be a bit more easy on the heat as that is never going to happen on the street. Heat them up to molton hot, but not the entire thickness of the rotor, just the surface as would happen on the street, and then splash them several times, but not douce them in water, make it more realistic. I used to come home at night with my EBC Yellow pad setup, and the EBC slotted rotors were lava hot, and glowing. These brakes would stop just as well hot as they did cold, probably better, with no fade. This set lasted me a year of heavy duty street racing, but I was shocked they lasted that long with the amount of hard braking I did. For about $400 a set, (smaller car, larger cars will be up to several hundred more) It's totally worth the cost even if you don't race, especially if you don't race. The braking force will stop your car in a shorter distance, and there is virtually no fade for those who travel mountainous roads frequently. 👍✌
