Default Bear Eradispeeds...Any Good?

Does anybody own a set of Baer's new EradiSpeed rotors? Any gains over the stock set up? I am just looking for some feedback...good or bad.

Aftermarket rotors (for the most part) are like aftermarket exhaust systems -probably not much better in performance but they sure look and sound a lot better than OEM.

Mine give me the same performance as the stockers. They look terrific, though, which is why I put them on. :yesnod:

Some people say they do not warp as bad. I don't know if that's true or not. I bought mine because they look bad azz!!! :thumbs: :cheers:

Yes the Eradispeeds are good. I ran them for quite a while and I really liked them.

They look great and don't warp like the OEM rotors. I've got over 10,000 miles on mine and have had no problems at all.

If you're going for looks, then Eradispeeds are a great way to go. If you're going for racing, then I'd stick (I am, actually) with stock rotors.

Whichever way you go, make sure you clean up the rust scale off the hubs when you put the new ones on. My stockers just turned over 100K miles, with no warping (but, BOY, are they worn. I'm going to be replacing them before the autox season starts back up).

Hope this helps,
Mike
