Crappy brakediscs

Not even 300 miles, sucks. Can't wait to put on some real brakes ( in stead of these tweezers that "slow you down a bit" ;) ).

That sucks.

Ouch....

No ouch luckily, disc popped when cooling down in the box.

[AlarmedBread]

what kind are those?

look for some that don't have slots all the way to the edge.

There's a great example of why it's good to stick to solid, blank rotors.

execpt the slots didn't cause the crack, if they had, the crack would've followed the slot all the way down. He got the brakes so damn hot the rotors crecked. Solid rotors would've done this even faster, as they would just hold more heat, instead of dissapating it with the vanes inside the rotor.

This guy needs a Massive BBK if anyone does.

These are discs from Sandtler, a german company like Demon Tweeks in the UK.


The rear ones.

Actually, the crack is all the way down to the hub, you just can't see it very good on this picture. This is not a common problem for these rotors i've heard.
The track we drove is a very very brake demanding track but I've never had anything like this before, and I've driven some different types of cars there before.

But, you're right, we need the Massive kits. The kit for the front is allready here (has been for some time ;) ), the kit for the back is in a plane as we speak :D, ordered it some weeks ago. As this was the last day of the season, we wanted to use these brakes for the last time and put on the Massive kit in the winterbreak.
