Upgrading Our 2022 WRX: Exploring the Performance Boost with Rotora's Big Brake Kit

We have installed Rotora's Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit on our 2022 WRX! Rotora introduces the latest version of Carbon-Ceramic Brake System (RCCBS), using an all-new innovative continuous fiber construction technique to ensure a significant reduction in rotational mass and uncompromised fade-free performance under all extreme driving conditions. With an improved Carbon Fiber Reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) formulation, Rotora’s new innovative material further decreases thermal expansion, increases resistance to wear and operating life of the discs to many times that of conventional equivalents.

Rotora - Top quality 💯👌🏻 enough said ! Great presentation guys. Cheers

[@Subimods]

Absolutely agreed! Thanks for the kind words

[@BMcGuinness]

DJ is killin it!

[@Subimods]

Absolutely is!

[@ivansolares2448]

Didnt see a link for the brake kit?! Need to have these sit in my shopping cart so I can get the financial motivation to buy a WRX!

[@Subimods]

Hey Ivan, the brake kit is available on our website at subimods.com

[@MrGsxrme]

So one of my concerns and maybe someone else's is pads. I know you guys sell the complete kit but replacement pads aren't linked or listed on the website.

[@Subimods]

Replacement pads are no issue at all, not something we keep on hand as there are 4 different compounds Rotora offers! I'll let an internal memo out to work on getting these listed

[@SilverSerenity520]

Any big brake kits coming for the Ascent. They are 334×30 already.

[@Subimods]

We can connect with Rotora and see if they have any offerings on Monday. Send an email to [e-mail] with ATTN: Sales in the subject line

[@ivansolares2448]

Was there any weight savings over the Brembos? Would there be any weight savings over the stock OEM brakes?

[@Subimods]

We did not weigh these against the Brembos, but we have been meaning to weigh the other Rotora offerings on our website VS the OEM brakes.

[@mrsubaru5367]

I will take the sti set that you took off. For my 22 wrx

[@Subimods]

They are for sale!

[@matthewlang4]

How much?

[@Subimods]

@@matthewlang4 We are asking 5k

[@devonsk8s4]

Damn, lol I thought maybe you mis pronounced the grand total but you weren’t playin 😅😅 might just stick with the Stock vb brakes for the time being

[@Subimods]

The carbon ceramic kit is not a kit designed for the average street car, and we wanted it for our halo car to show case the top of the line brake kits. We have 3 offerings for the VB Rotora line, starting at $3,999: subimods.com/collections/2022-wrx-brakes#/filter:vendor:Rotora/filter:product_type:Big$2520Brake$2520Kits

Those brakes look awesome!

[@andrewkolansky5348]

What size wheels do I need to make Rotora break kit fit. I just ordered some apex forged vs-5rs 18 * 9.5 wheels wondering which break kit would fit.

[@Subimods]

We have Rotora Caliper Fitment guides for all of the brake kits we have listed on our website, so you can cut out the template and test fit it on your wheels to make sure they clear. Given they clear the OEM wheels with a 4mm spacer max, most aftermarket wheels shouldn't be an issue. We have never utilized a set of Apex wheels, so we cannot comment. Feel free to email [e-mail] to obtain the caliper fitment templates.

[@jessdelmundo2314]

@@Subimods Do you sell 4mm Spacers?

[@Subimods]

@@jessdelmundo2314 We have 3mm and 5mm listed on the website, a 5mm for a little added caution is likely best suited.

[@jamesharless6103]

Is the color of the vehicle the stock wrx silver?

[@Subimods]

Yes it is!

[@ibeJomes]

Will this work with stock tires?

[@Subimods]

From the manufacturer regarding the OEM wheels: Front 4 piston 332x32: 4mm spacer required Front 4 Piston: 355x32: 2mm Spacer Recommended Front 6 Piston: 355x32 2mm spacer recommended Rear: Fits without spacers

[@botbs]

Do you offer this ceramic brakes for GR86 and BRZ? Whats the weight saving compared to factory? Thanks!

[@Subimods]

We dont have them listed but we can offer them if there is enough interest. As far as weight, I did not throw the rotors on the scale but I can tell you that the ceramic rotors are at least half the weight of the steel rotors.

[@mitch2456]

Do these fit a 2016 STI?

This kit is specifically made for the 22+ WRX. We do have some BBK options for the 16 STI that can be found here: subimods.com/collections/2015-2021-sti-brakes#/filter:product_type:Big$2520Brake$2520Kits

[@Subimods]

Please note: This kit is the top of the line kit. We understand that this isn't the kit for most consumers but we wanted to showcase it on our halo car. There are 3 additional offerings for the average street / track use available on our site: subimods.com/collections/2022-wrx-brakes#/filter:product_type:Big$2520Brake$2520Kits

[@ZibrayMusic]

$12,000? Did I hear right?

[@RustedCrown11]

yea. the rotors themselves are made out of ceramic, super expensive and really only seen on exotic sport cars. the benefit being they are lighter, never brake fade, and last about forever. they are pretty overkill

[@ZibrayMusic]

@@RustedCrown11 that's awesome. Placing an order now

[@spacedmellow5031]

They have a non ceramic one for 6k

[@E82N55]

@@ZibrayMusic spend the money elsewhere… you’d never need big ceramic rotors unless on a professional race team, and even then most teams would use track pads on the stock rotors

[@ZibrayMusic]

@Shorai oh for sure man. For 12k you can almost buy a Nissan versa cash haha

[@EdwardSteadfast]

All that and 2 seconds of b roll

[@Subimods]

We will make sure to add more b roll in the next product video!

[@marcocapolla7288]

jeez 12k. looks like TDMi is going to eat their lunch with their VB brakes. under 3k starting on their full set up

[@9MMSWORD]

That's what I'm going with, just the fronts for 1800

[@Subimods]

We understand this option isn't for most people - which is why Rotora has 3 other full bolt on offerings on our website that are much more average consumer friendly.

[@ivankong1065]

talking about extreme overkill here, meanwhile cars making 700-800 hp stock are still using steel rotors

[@Subimods]

We know this is extreme overkill, as we did address this in the video that its for our halo car.
