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 |

Bringing back the semi-dead...
The OP's rotors were fine as the cracks didn't connect the holes. Add enough heat and any rotor will crack drilled, slotted or not. This is a 2 year old Zimmerman with about 30 track days running Porterfield R4 pads and brake ducts. Scary? No. The car slowed from an indicated 130 with no drama lap after lap. I certainly will be replacing these but it's a small price to pay for a helluva lot of fun! |
