Default 3mm

I have heard of the 3mm race cleared rotors, how does that help with the car? Does it make it rev higher like 11Krpms?

3mm pertains to the apex seal thickness ... It allows it to withold more pressure without worrying about things .

Race clearanced rotors , well I've heeard th term but I'm not sure what it means .


I think you just shoved the 2 terms togther

You have to machine the rotors to accpet 3mm seals yes . I am not sure how much it runs to do it exactly .

I would call Scott up at Mazsport and ask him . One of the only locals that gets it done .
