if you didn't see us before...
here's the story!

adam's rotors started out small and remains that way...a tight knit company.
the small outfit and one-to-one interaction creates only the best service with quick response even faster built to order set-ups. with top notch product, this lends hand to our success thus far...

working 24/7 throughout the day, any and all questions are answered within the hour to the best of our ability, if not instantly. being an online company we do business direct via email, instant message, and over the web in our ever growing threads. just ask.

adam's rotors expertise started out in the VW/audi market, but we do set-ups for other makes & models...the Subaru, Mitsubishi, and Nissan/Infiniti platforms are all now close runners up for us! we can build ANY rotor for ANY car to factory spec. let us know!

we choose our relationships wisely as quality, performance, fit, & finish is key...
adam's rotors chooses to only advertise thru audizine.com, IWSTI.com, and now stanceworks.com!



over the last 6 years, these 4 Audi threads have helped build this business...

1. v.1
2. v.2
3. v.3
4. current v.4

www.adamsrotors.com

the info...

these are custom made, per order...you'll have them in about 2-3 weeks...
(this takes in account for ordering parts, shipping time to the shop, machining, dipping/hub painting, pkging, and shipment out to you!)

these are one-piece replacement rotors of top quality material, made PER vehicle.
...we ONLY make to OEM sizing, so we build the units to a particular vehicle, based on year, model, engine, drive, etc. from a spec book. ANY MAKE...ANY MODEL

each set includes silver zinc, a corrosion preventative, standard front & rear.
any pricing we quote here or privately includes: packaging, shipping, paypal or cc fee, the rotors, custom machining, dipping, to your door...
*NOTE: california residents now pay tax...please email me your shipping address to determine your rate.

you tell us how you want them!
-dimpled
-drilled
-slotted (most recommended for both quiet braking and optimal performance)
-dimpled/slotted (unique option. few offer this...)
-drilled/slotted (classic combo)
-dimple/dimple/slot
-drill/drill/slot
-AR race (exclusive double slot)
-AR street (exclusive double slot/drill)
-AR track (exclusive double slot/dimple)
-AR sport I's (exclusive over-dimple)
-AR sport II's (exclusive over-slot)
-AR speed (NEW exclusive multi-slot)

again, silver with rust free zinc finish is STANDARD on all orders. this is a corrosion protection process/measure. BUT:

*COLORED ZINC FINISH add $25:
gold zinc or black zinc finishes are a subtle, unique, aesthetic touch for your rotors, very few offer![/I]

also...

*HUBS COATINGS add +$50:
this gives the rotor a nice clean, tailored, finished look.
the rotor is still standard silver zinc dipped, with a high temp, matte, baked-on finish.
available in both black OR red, and many other options...let us know what you need/want.[I]

ONE (1) YEAR exchange warranty for:
manufacture defects per rotor...on all orders!!!

the FAQ's...

this covers some key points regarding our rotors and may answer few of your questions prior to contacting me for your order...

our recommendations:

slotting is both the quietest pattern and the most performance oriented...slotted, AR race, or AR sport II's.
drilling is a great look, and it's safe too...add a row for a sporty, classic look. drilled, drilled/slotted, drill/drill/slot, or AR street.
we offer a unique alternative to drilling; dimpling. get something different! dimpled, dimpled/slotted, dimple/dimple/slot, AR track, or sport I's.
be sure to check out the exclusive patterns we offer: AR race, street, track, and this year's newest, AR sport I's & II's.
utilize the silver zinc that’s included in price and add the black coated hubs for a clean finish...this also allows for our exclusive patterns.
take advantage of our STOPTECH pad and stainless steel line packages that ship along side your rotor order, we're your one-stop-shop!

"do you offer pads and/or lines with your rotors?" "do you sell (insert brand xyz) pads?"

adam’s rotors chooses to ONLY offer STOPTECH street and POSI-QUIET performance pads for a reason. we pair them with our rotors for there quality, performance, and realistic daily drivability. many other performance pads, some of which being very popular and highly praised in the aftermarket community, are truly geared towards track use. tho great pads under the right circumstances, truly high performance pads have poor wet weather characteristics, are noisy, high dust, and more importantly compounds that require warm-up periods to create sufficient/safe bite. our pads are meant for car enthusiasts who push they're vehicles to the limit while also using it in daily driving scenarios. the two pads we offer cover both basis depending on the car and your driving style.
STOPTECH stainless lines are the braided line of choice as well...

we offer pad only, line only, and pads & line bundles with out rotors, whch can be added to your cart in the order section...click HERE for more info.

"is there a proper break-in procedure for my new set of adam's rotors?"

after EVERY new brake job is complete, immediately after installation is wrapped up, the brakes must be broken in….especially when swapping both the rotors AND the pads., this is a crucial step in not only prepping both surfaces for a strong bite and safe braking, but will avoid sound issues, promote even wear, and all around smooth, clean, correct disc brake function…high speed (30-40 mph) pulls to hard tapping stops on and off the pedal x10 followed by high speed pulls to hard lock-up stops x10 will heat the rotors up, burn off the top layers of both the pad and rotor's zinc, and truly avoid any glazing concerns…this can cause hard shuddering, skipping of the rotors, along with loud noise, and an inefficient disc brake set-up.
in short, beat the hell out of them right off the bat and let them cool with the brakes released and NO e-brake to avoid warping. the rotor surface is what creates friction with the brake pads and stops your car...a fresh set needs be properly seated within the contact patch of rotor & pad.

"what's the difference between dimpled vs. drilled rotors?"

a drill hole is a drilled through hole, while a dimple only goes half way thru the rotor's surface. both forms of rotor machining have zero effect on daily driven performance/stopping, and same for most track driving in reality. new age pads don’t create the gas that drill holes were designed to break up and dissipate. slotting is where we see the benefits in cooling. these disperse heat and keep the rotor surface cooler then blank rotor, and cool brakes,are good brakes. dimpling is different...it’s a unique pattern or style of machining many manufactures do not offer. it gives the look we all want, without the fear of cracking many have with drilling. the only real concern can be sound. dimples, due to the pockets “trapping” air between the pad can cause a soft clicking, covered more below.

"do machined rotors create sound?"

keyword can...but it's just the dimples/drilling. there is no reason the sound should be anything but mild, pleasant even. each application varies as rotor diameter/surface area changes, caliper size & pad contact differs, as do the compounds used in each brake pad. a bad bed, cheap pads, or an improper caliper/pad seating after install could cause something loud. drilling and more so dimpling is the culprit for something other than a silent experience. air being trapped within the rotor's machining and two pad surfaces creates this, but again is nominal. slotting is the ideal for performance and the faint of ear, so if you are concerned, opt for any of our 3 slotted only patterns. the bedding process which should be completed immediately after install can drastically effect stopping power and sound; it's also an important part of prepping your new rotors. high speed tap braking and full 0-30 pulls to slam to stop, is key...(see break-in info above)

"what makes AR machining so different?" "do adam's rotors crack after a while?"

our rotors simply don't crack.
all machining, dipping, coating, and packaging is done in house at AR. first, we chamfers each drill hole which adds a beveled edge to each thru hole. secondly we pays extreme attention to how the pattern is laid down when machining. taking meticulous measures to avoid each and every vent rib which are the internal cooling veins (on vented discs) in these rotors avoids any issue with cracking. AR will not drill a rotor we are unable to do so with and thus cracking is never a concern. this is another reason why unlike many, we also offer dimples and unique slot patterns, ways of avoiding this and offering better, longer lasting, quality products...and AR backs them by a 1 year exchange warranty per rotor on manuf. defects.

"do the gold or black zinc rotors stay black forever?"

the colored zinc will only remain on the NON-pad contact areas. the face of the rotor will obviously wear silver instantly upon the initial bedding process after install from friction, leaving a very subtle accent color (and rust protection) on the remainder of the rotor. (hub/hat, dimples, slots, vents, etc) this is the same fir ANY zinc dipped corrosion protected rotor, but with black/gold, has a very nice touch behind a custom wheel/painted caliper.

"can you make bigger rotors for my car?"

you cant just put “bigger rotors” on your car. each mm larger (or smaller) would require a new/different carrier to hold the caliper the appropriate distance from the hub to grab the rotor as it spins safety and efficiently within it...your wheels size is irrelevant here too, we need to look at the basis of how disc brakes work. our rotors are ALL built to OEM dimensions. YOU tell us what application you want, and we will make them for that car. for example, we often sell sports models or larger motored car's brakes set-ups so base model/smaller motored cars within the same make/model due to their larger brakes. an S4 on an A4, or an G37S on a base model infinity...an STI on a WRX, etc. these set-ups using larger rotors/retrofits, are not a problem, to those who have already sourced the caliper/carrier set-up needed for a “OEM+ BBK” as we call it. BUT, is still on OEM setup and works only on compatible applications. we are a replacement rotor manufacturer, and we make our set-ups to spec, per car. you would have to have the caliper/carrier to accept the larger rotors…this is your modification and we are only responsible for plug n play or direct bolt on, OEM based kits made for YOUR car…but please know we are happy to build a larger setup for you, yet its your responsibility and requirement to do your own HW/sourcing for the rest of the components needed and in the end I must be building an OEM spec. once more we are made-to-order, final sale.

"do you make rotors for (insert your car here)?"

YES! we make rotors for ANY make/model car/truck/van...just email us if your specific car isn;t listed in our catalog for a quote.

"can I choose any pattern you offer? do some cost more than others?"

you can pick ANY of our 12 patterns we offer...each set is made to your liking so have it your way. our exclusive patterns require that you add our ceramic coated hubs, but other than that all machining is included with our orders.

"do adam's rotors weigh less?"

yes, but we don't advertise as a lightweight alternative because the difference is nominal, but they are lighter.
unless your a true race car driver and this car only sees the track, noone out there can truly feel/utilize this "unsprung" weight on a daily driver, that people are so worried abou...and it is hardly worth the extra coin in our opinion. the blanks weigh less than stock blanks as is, and after machining, even less of course...drilled takes about .75lb from the fronts and about .5lb from the rears. slotted takes half that amount. drilled/slotted variations are somewhere between those two give or take, and a bit more when we look at our exclusive AR patterns.

"what does (insert $ quote) cover?" "how much for shipping to (insert state)" "how much shipped to Canada?"

all pricing is to your door within the US. machined to order, silver zinc dipped, packaged, shipped, with paypal/CC fee included.
please realize this is when shopping around...our pricing is very competitive.
there is NO pick-up available…Californian shipments must pay state tax.
all AR orders INCLUDE free shipping within the US including APO's, HI, AK, etc. Canadian shipping is a flat rate +$100 for a set of 4 rotors. we also ship overseas! please inquire per application about international rates with a full address. we also promote that international orders provide a US address of friend or family to ship to in order to avoid the charges for international shipping and customs paperwork.

"is ever set made to order?" "do you have (insert your car)" in stock?"

all orders are final sale once payment is made. we do NOT stock ANYTHING...adam's rotors is a fully, built to order, custom tailored product...ach set is made for you. with over 12 patterns, 3 colored zincs, and custom hub coatings, the combinations are endless...then pair that with EVERY make/model, car/trick/van made, this is what makes us who we are. we process orders immediately and order blanks at that time…once they arrive I start the machining process with urgency and move forward with the build quickly…I too am subject of final sale with our suppliers and being that each set is custom, made to order based, without any inventory or off the shelf units, there are no refunds whatsoever.

ONE (1) YEAR exchange warranty on maufacture defects, per rotor…from order date, per order!

[HEcreated487]

Just read through all.... WOOOOOOW! I'm pretty sure what rotors I'm ordering when mine die ... Thanks AR!!!

[adamsrotors]

any time!

[kartikeya]

Custom bolt patterns at least?

[adamsrotors]

at least?
yes, we redrill PCDs, but will not touch hub bore.

[kartikeya]

Ok! Awesome!

I said "at least" because you seemed pretty adamant about not deviating from OEM specifications.

[adamsrotors]

just for overall size spec & fitment...same blank diameter/offset, etc.
these are all based off of any OEM application's rotor, what would come off of the car from the factory.

[Zic]

very nice, good luck with everything.

how large of a diameter can you guys go on these?

edit -- oops, i see you guys can do a 380x35. any chance you guys can go bigger (no homo)?

[adamsrotors]

click the link!
we build to those listed options...all BBK fitments for those companies set-ups.

yeah, i clicked through haha. i'll be needing a 400 or 405mm setup, which is why i'm asking. thanks!

[adamsrotors]

yeh, you edited your post after my reply.

no, we cannot.
...and that is ridiculously large.

[cheez80]

hahahaha, that's what she said? i'll be running 21" wheels, which is why i need such a large rotor. keep me posted if you guys do decide to make bigger rotors

[adamsrotors]

...you don't need that size for 21" wheel my friend...a 6 pot 355 would be sufficient...a 380 plenty.

won't be happening, as there aren't kits available. what caliper/carrier would you even run for such a size?

[cheez80]

off the top of my head, endless and alcon both make 400+mm brake setups (endless is 400mm and alcon is 405, i think)

i see 380mm rotors being used on 18's haha -- a lot of porsche guys do that (although most wheels won't have the clearance to be able to run that config)

[adamsrotors]

oh I'm not arguing they are made...but not for Brembo/STOPTECH/Rotora applications which we cater to.

as for them being used on 18" wheels, that doesn't make its any less adequate for 21", rather overkill for the 18"...tho it's fully dependent on car weight and power/speed.

rolling diameter does infact need better braking, but it sounds more like your going oversize for look to "fill" that 21" wheel if anything...thats perfectly fine, all I mean is a 380 rotor and good BB caliper would do plenty of stopping power even for a 22-24" wheel.

...ie: I run 4 piston 355s on all my 20" set-ups...even big heavy sedans. increased piston count on an equally large rotor would be effective for the extra inch.

oh, that's true too. for this car, it's less about ultimate performance and (obviously) more about looks. still, the car's a 5300lb behemoth.

rotora's application for this car is a 12p/405mm setup haha.
