    JHM Light Weight Rotors

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Are there any other advantages other than the weight savings?

    Also, what else should you upgrade when switching out the Rotors?

    looks? maybe a little better cooling due to veins and 2-piece?

    might as well do pads while your at it. stainless steel brake lines are nice too.

    They'll handle heat expansion better (assuming you're talking about two piece rotors)
    Life has taught me never try to make something idiot proof, they'll simply come up with a better idiot.
    I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.
    I have neither the time, nor the crayons to explain this to you properly.

    Stainless steel lines and Akebono ceramic pads for zero dust with decent braking power.

    Did notice a difference when you switched to JHM rotors?

    honestly, I haven't at all. I've done some pretty aggressive consecutive stops recently at a mini-rally and the brakes felt strong, but I've had the same experience with OEM. I don't think you'd notice the cooling unless you're at a track. I think its 6-7 lbs shaved per corner which is actually a lot but nothing that I was able to really notice either.

    I'd go with the ECS rotors. $589 with free shipping versus $725 shipped for the JHM ones.

    Mine was 701 shipped (being pedantic i know lol), regardless this is probably better advice. The difference in weight isn't worth the price imo, it's more if you wanted drilled or not.

    ECS Geomet, SS lines & Akebonos >$700. Not much lighter than stock but smooth, consistent brake feel. For a DD with occasional spirited drive, a perfect solution IMO

    Edit: slotted and drilled

    I was pretty interested in the JHM as OE replacements. Quite a bit lighter than stock, but I do remember reading in one of the brake threads that they were probably too small/lightweight for track use as they may not have enough thermal capacity. Can't validate that though.

    As I only drive the car on the street, I'd probably upgrade to the JHMs once my StopTechs wear out.
