I picked up a set of almost new (old style) EBC Contour front rotors for my VTR a few days ago on eBay (for the princely sum of only $160). Of course, one never knows the actual condition until the goods are received but the chap selling them seems honest based on our communication so I expect everything to be as noted in the ad. Will likely bolt these up when I replace my front pads (when HRCs wear out). I will paint the inner webbing flat black prior to installing them, however.

Anyone else running these? If yes, how do you like them and any idea how they compare weight-wise to the OEMs?

cheers

 

Well I have one in the rear. I went with it as I do use the rear brake quite a bit and the other, lighter rotors didn't look up to the task.

So with that, it is a little lighter than stock (but who knows with the front) it does have good feel and better grip than the stock rotor, so you should be happy with that part.

 

I think EBC make several types of contour discs but the ones I'm running look just like those and are called "prolite" rotors. I did not compare them to the stockers on weight, but they certainly work better than the stockers for power and feel. That's a great deal if they're straight; I paid $175 per disc new, and that was the cheapest I could find em a couple of years ago.
