what rotors on Massive street kit?

[JRKOUPE]

Also duct the brakes to keep the heat down.

I dont believe I am having a heat issue at all.

The vw carrado and bmw e30 are two totally different cars.

Im not sure Im following you.....?????

Im trying to see what guys are using on the massive street kit re 1 pc rotors...and if they are using brembo or ate....are they having any issues?

The corrado rotor is utilized with this kit. The center bore is made slightly larger to work on our cars.

Ahhh I did not know that. Oops nvm then.

hey fellas.....all responses are appreciated but u may be missing the point.

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.

Ah, gotcha. Anecdotal at best, but in Chump the only team that I encountered that ran a Corrado didn't seem to have any cracks in their rotors after 7 hours of (not constant) running. When I asked them about the brakes (because I noticed the weird rotors) they said they never had issues with the Brembo blanks and the rotors were not visibly cracked. This was at WGI IIRC.

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.

D...that brand does not appear to have the holes cast into the hat area....hmmm...

[nyChris]

I have Meyle Corrado rotors, and they are 1 piece with no "holes" in the hat area.

[dude8383]

Yeh, Meyle rotors.

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.

these are stock E30 brembo blanks

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.

[JRKOUPE]

these are stock E30 brembo blanks

well, on my stock oe brakes my brembos rocked....for a long time...prolly like 10 days...40 sessions....maybe more

give us more info.....how many days on them..how old etc etc etc

.....any rotor can crack....eventually.

Clearly you should have pressed both NOS buttons.
