neil tt Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I would have though it would have more to do with the compound that was used in the pads, as opposed to the brakes themselves:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Very strange.... I wouldn't want those fitted on my car, the discs look wafer thin and 4 pot front and 4 pot rear calipers are going to upset the brake balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 ....and they have big slices out of the disc face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 There are far cheaper ways to end it all. Absolutely, totally and unequivocally unsuitable for a road car. PLEASE don't try them. I wouldn't even want them on a drag only MKIV, given the weight of the car and the minimal heat dissipation in those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
