Brake Discs: Drilled & Vented, is $95/ea too much? Options

[Scott Carlberg]

So I received this catalog from FVD-usa.com, mostly 911 stuff, but I've wanted to check out their catalog for sometime...

Anyway, on page 101 of their catalog, they list "Drilled Brake Discs" for the 914,
Front & Rear. They are $95/ea

if you go here: http://www.fvd-web.com/phpkatalog/index.php3?lang=usa

then put this part #: fvd 351 08 and then enter
the Rear # is fvd 352 07



Yes, I know, the picture has 5-lug, but the catalog does list the 914-4 separately from the 914-6

Chris makes the point I've always thought....
why are they on race cars then?

But, a couple of weekends on the track isn't the same as out on the street,
and there's usually alot more *insurance-claims* out on the streets also (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)


I did send another question to the FVD guy about the discs cracking, here's what he had to say:

-> You might experience some cracking but it is rare on a new rotor,
maybe after extensive use or ware, nothing to worry about. <-
