I think the CTS-V Mono-Block Brembo is a superior caliper to the RB 2-piece caliper and it is cheaper.

Was it their rotors you had an issue with, or the rake pads, or what? |

Not picking any sides... but I remember a few years back when Baer came out with their Mono Block Calipers it was a big deal for the same reasons Jordan pointed out.

A small update on my warped rotor story from earlier in this thread.
For those who don't want to look it all up, I had slotted RB fronts that warped when using Hawk DTC-30s on the track. Machined the rotors and switched to Cobalt Friction pads. After one day on the track, the rotors were warped again (though only slightly this time). Bought new rings from RB, sent old ones back and asked them to look at them. They credited me for 90% of the cost of the rings - company stands behind their product. I think there was something wrong with the rotors I had, because I have driven those tracks before on OEM rotors and pads, no problem, no warping. Interestingly, RB now no longer sells the specific rotors I had bought. What they sell now are 32 mm wide, 20.5 lbs each. What I bought last fall was thinner (I forget exactly what - 30mm?) and lighter. RB told me it was a change that had nothing to do with product performance. But, given my odd situation with the last rotors, I am actually happy that these ones are now the same width as OEM rotors, even if they are heavier than what they used to be. I ended up adding brake ducts to help manage the heat situation up front, so I am no longer worried about overheating. But still.

Everyone here, still happy with their RB 2-piece Rotors?
What's their expected track life? (from real experiences)

I plan to only use my RB rotors for the street and possibly auto-cross. As others have mentioned, serious track use (myself included), will get the stockers put back on and I plan to go Cobalt Friction pads based on many people here that drive hard and have had good results with those on track. I don't plan on getting the CTS-V or ZL1 setup anytime soon. So far I've had no issues at all with my RB rotors, and I have the Hurst edition ones, but I've only driven about 100 miles on them. I will report back with more mileage.

Racing Brake CCM-X rotors
I just switched over from the stock ZL1 caliper and RB two piece rotors. I ran the original GM pads up to 36K! I now have the Racing Brake Camaro kit which is the prototype. Burnished the pads today after 50 stops! I missed this weekend Speedventures track day at Fontana!
