Little update on rotors. It looks like rotors for the Corrado all have the vent opening on the outside, not the inside like with the BMW discs. Any idea what brand has the venting inward? Having the venting outward is no big deal except that it doesn't allow air ducts for cooling the discs.

Hmmmm. That's kind of drag. I just about ordered the brake ducts for my BMP bumper this morning, glad I held off.

I'm assuming any other rotor is out of the question as you would have to redesign your bracket.

[Massive Lee]

"Any other rotor" doesn't seem to exist. Therefore, I am still searching for another brand of rotor that has the opening inward. I am looking in a simple OEM looking rotor, and don't want to start redrilling 4 into 5 holes etc.

Lee, the only ones that I have been able to find are here: http://www.racingbrake.com/CORRADO_G...1-111-1736.htm The price of these is going to be hard to fit in the kit price, I'm afraid.

The Meyle rotors don't have the slots in the hat, which is good for strength, but bad for cooling. FWIW, the other rotors with the slots will probably cool adequately with ducts, as the cooling air will go from the hub, through the slots and into the face area. There was a question of strength with the slots, though.

what about the ATE rotors? reg or atom slotted.
i ran those on my jetta with no problem as a big brake upgrade using Audi turbo quattro 2 piston calipers

this the only pic i have unfortunately. they ARE ATE rotors just way over cross drilled experimental stuff that didn't work. IIRC the did not have the rotor hat holes though

Hi Brian

I have just enquired with RacingBrakes on bulk prices (wholesale). If I can have them at a substancially lower than retail price, I will look at the possibility of offering such rotors, but with a slight premium. I think that most users will only see street use and will be happy to pay less for blank rotors, while perhaps 25% will want the slotted discs with inward openings for added cooling on track.


Der Affe - The ATE rotors I have seen have the air ducting coming from the front face (outward) and therefore not suitable for trackers using air ducts. And in any case, I will NOT supply drilled rotors. No way Jose I'll touch that.

[der affe]

i wasn't implying that you would. those were drilled after the fact, and WAY too much at that. funny though, when i did the brake conversion on my jetta the rotors didn't have the openings in the rotor hat. that was 10+ years ago though. things must have changed since then.

what about a blank Audi TT rotor? that was my next brake upgrade i was going to do on the jetta. they are 13" though. that might not work for what you are trying to do. just a thought

Hi Der Affe

Thanks for your contribution. I will stick to 280mm discs as the are a much easier fit behind 15" wheels. At 280mm, that kit will fill a gap.
All the pieces of puzzle are slowly taking their position. The adapters have been sent to the machineshop. I decided which is the best caliper for this application in regard of choice of pads, and now I know I can offer two types of rotors. Life is good.

Okay. Here is a posible rotor. It is pricier than the base rotor I intended to use, but I opened a wholesale account and can work on prices. That disc has slots, and comes vented from the back, allowing to use cooling ducts. Do you think that if I included free 3mm aluminum spacers in the introduction offer, you guys will open you wallet a bit wider?

The question now is:
For $600 GB price - I offer a blank rotor with outward vanes - $660 regular price
For $650 GB price - I offer a performance rotor as pictured below - $720 regular price

[bimma360]

And free spacers now... ugh you're killing me smalls!!

[Fidhle007]

Lee you little chiseler, you...

Yes, we will open our wallets wider. :-)

Like the racing brake rotors. Especially since they are painted/anodized or something so the hat won't get all rusty and nasty looking.

I haven't gotten a chance to take the wheel off the car yet and throw the template behind it, but I was looking at my wheels today when I picked it up from the shop and there is ample room back there.

Any idea how much farther out the Dynalite is from the rotor hat compared to the stock E30 caliper? There appears to be 1" or more between where the new rotor would be and the inside spoke of the wheel.

[jackbenny]

Agreed, I think I would prefer the racing brake rotors.

Oh price creep, ya get me every time....

[Massive Lee]

Here's more "inside" information. Wilwood will discontinue the Dynalite caliper in favor of the newer Dynapro. Problem is that for now, pad selection is very limited for the Dynapro and is confined to Willwood's offering, while pad selection will remain great for the Dynalite for years.

Therefore, I will supply Dynalite calipers for the first year, then when pad selection improves, I will offer Dynapros. The brackets are similar, the only difference is 1.7mm in height. If I offer the Dynapro right away, some of you won't be happy with the lack of pad options...

I meant to say an inch or more between the caliper and the inside of the spokes.
