Yes and no
Iâm sure that they have better metallurgical properties than my no name blank rotor but,as an example, if a Brembo cost $ 250 and i can do 10 track days with it but my blank cost $60 and i can do 8 days, for me they are a much better deal
So yes, youâre paying for the name
Btw, many...
I have a few cars but to keep it on track and on Mustang, i have a 17pp1 that is a track only car that run a squared set of 305 track tires
I use the cheapest blank rotors that i can get from rockauto and use XR1 Cobalt front race pads
Since i have been racing/tracking since 1993, I do believe...
I think that you fell prey to marketing and placebo effect
The only reason Shelby use them is because they look âcoolâand are a 2 pieces design that save weight
There is a reason why racers never use cross drilled rotors on a track
As for stopping once from 130 mph, itâs child play compared to...
Just curious:
What make them have âAwesome stopping powerâ compared to regular rotors ?
Having less contact area should make them less âAwesome â
Holden is 100% right, ceramic pads are very low performance pads and will fade in any spirited or hard usage
Reason being their design temperature range that is between 200 to 700*
above that their coefficient of friction drop drastically
As a comparison, race pads are designed to work around...
Well, since you know that itâs only for look, get the cheapest ones you can get on RockAuto
âŠand btw,my 17pp1 on squared 305 is a track car only and i use the cheapest blanks that can get from rockauto
Never had a problem in 8 years
Well i was living in this piece of shit city and location as you do, maybe i would feel the same way !!!đ
I know that area pretty well since i used to race quite often at Willow Springs
Ok, so how do you think that you drive a car that has a Hewland or Jerico tranny where you canât use the clutch?
You learn to match the speed and engine rpmâs to downshift when braking at the same time
Maybe i never felt the need to learn/do h&t because i raced for so many years on straight...
âFast and smooth driverâ as many race win and fastest laps will attest..
A couple of my race cars
Have you ever raced a car with a straight gears box where you canât use the clutch for down or up shift?
You learn pretty fast to be smooth
And if youâre wondering why the clutch canât be used itâs...
