Hey paddock people,
Need brake rotors that will last at least a season. Heres the stats on my brakes 1976 911 5-lug 19mm master Hawk pads dtc-70 (front and rear) Zimmerman drilled and rotors I'm getting tiny cracks around the drilled holes of the rotor. I'm sure the Hawk pads are to blame. Under normal driving conditions I bet these rotors will last a good while. AutoX and Sebring is killing them. So....any good rotor ideas? Stoptech and Centric are out there for my 911 set-up. Anyone got anything to say on these or any other advice? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Shane |

Cool carbon break pads.
Now called kfp. 6 years on my rotors so far with 2 drivers. You don't need drilled rotors. Power slotted if you if you want |

Shane my fronts are 911 vented rotors from ATE with the eliptical slotting they were really only a few dollars more than standard replacements my rears are 914/6 non vented stock rotors I had a machinist create the power slotting in them I'm not really sure the slotting is even necessary or that beneficial the right pads make the most difference I played with KFP on a 944Turbo and the car was really too heavy for them the hawks were superior on that car... but most of the pads are created for the common street performance market cars... corvettes, 911s, 944's, mustangs.... cars that weigh 3000lbs so a lot of the pad compounds don't work on a 914, even if they are the best pad you can get for your heavy car. kind of like tires, its all about the compound operating range I am going to do some brake temp testing this spring on the track for my car but there are some sweet compounds out there for lighter cars the KFP may or may not be the best but it is definitely a good compound, and rotor friendly brant |
