Default Re: MovIt Carbon Silicon Carbide Rotors as PCCB Replacement?

Five hard track day follow-up. I set the second fastest time at the GG PCA TT with these rotors on the car. Much of the original honing marks still remain on the rotors. No obvious sign of wear.

I spoke with Tom yesterday. What a great guy and the statistics that he has for the long lasting performance of the rotor and pads is just mind blowing.

The holy grail is a long lasting, track usable rotor with good modulation characteristics. The next two months will tell the tale and so far so good. These seem tough as nails.

Can't wait to install the full kit with the billet calipers- MovIt are you reading this??

Wow, that's impressive for 5 days of wear.

Besides the pallet of tightly wrapped $100.00 bills they want for them, do you think they can be driven (COLD!!) on the street?
It would suck to drive over the mail man because you can't stop the car driving down the driveway..

Haha

Unlike driving on the street with P50 Greens these use the P40 pad so cold and or wet stopping is no different from hot.

Your question is spot on and the good news is they work just fine when cold.

Yes, pretty much. I am getting 5 hard track days on fronts and rears with PSM on all the time.

As caliper is OE, still getting beveled fronts and rears but to a lesser extent.

Beveling 100% due to calipers then, I assume.

Tracker- sorry to be a pain, but are these direct OE sized replacements for both front/rear? Can you PM me the MSRP when you get the chance, I am quite interested in them.

According to Tom: once one is able to use MovIt pads there is a considerable increase in pad lifespan. 2 years of 20 days/year tracking currently being seen by a customer. Could be 3 years with light track use. And never needing to switch pads between track and street. This is sounding more and more interesting.

MovIt brake update: Things have taken a turn for the worse with delays in the supply of another kit, lack of follow-through on parts and other severe "miscommunications" (I am trying to say it nicely) and I currently CANNOT recommend anyone to purchase any MovIt parts. Email or IM me for current situation if you are thinking of giving them any business.

Peter, I am sorry things are turning for the worse. Be patient, it may turn back around again; well at least I sincerely hope so.

Ok- update. MovIt and I patched things up. They addressed my issues and we are moving forward again in positive fashion and I give them full credit for being willing to step-up and address the challenges we had.

I will post a full review in a few more weeks but I can say the direct, drop-in replacement MovIt Carbon/Silicon/Carbide rotors have proven durable and a greatly superior to the OE PCCB rotors. After 15 track days they show no obvious wear and pedal modulation remains much better compared to PCCB. Furthermore pedal feel remains consistent throughout a full track session.

At this point it does seem as though this is the "Holy Grail" of rotors: non-wearing, excellent pedal feel and modulation. A lifetime rotor.

A full kit is still in progress, delays are due to testing, redesign and refinement of the kit. But the OE sized replacement rotors are showing to be bulletproof under very heavy use. I will be testing an oversized, 396mm kit as well within the next few weeks and will of course report on that when I have some experience.

I am glad MovIt is cooperating, I hope the experiment keeps its positive spin.
