There have been a few issues w/ brembo and ate re rotors cracking/failing on CORRADO replacement rotors....
its not related to brembo or ate on any other applications.
I ran both brands on oe e 30 set ups for years and loved them!...
Im asking re corrado application which in this scenario is used on a bbk
back to normal programming.
Edit:
Won't standard A2 Golf/GTI brakes work? Same size I believe, not 100% on hat offset/height. If not I think I remember from my VW days that G60 Golfs and maybe Syncros used the same brakes as the Corrado but without the hat vents.

I completely forgot that I took pics of my own G60 rotors when I ran them:
I forget how many sessions I got out of them but it was at least 3-4 track days.IG: deniso_nsi Leave me feedback here

First, I do not have a Massive Brakes kit.
But I do have Brembo Blank Corrado Rotors with Wilwood Calipers. I use Hawk DTC-60 pads on my S52 swapped e30 DD/Track car. Car is 2620lbs.
I ran this setup with no cooling at 4 different tracks on 8 or so different weekends. I had no issues with the rotors. I did go through pads though. After running my pads all the way to the metal and trying to "cookie cutter" the backing plate of the pad, I did change my rotors to a new set of corrado rotors.
The next year, I added cooling ducts. The pad life has gone up and rotors are still fine.
I would think to have a catastrophic failure such as the picture, you would have to have alot of flex in the wheel bearing and when the brakes are applied, it is warping the rotor to failure. Just my opinion though.
I drive my car like I dont care and it has been fine.

good to hear.......
a bit ot....but are you using 12 mm thick pads in those wilwoods?......how much longer did they last w/ cooling added? I get like 5 days or so on my pads.I love sitting down and just driving!
