catastrophic brake failure
the last couple of days i have noticed a bit of a pulsy feeling in my brake pedal...
and today while cleaning her - i saw numerous hairline cracks coming from the drill holes of the rotors, i also noticed that they are very well warn down, with hardly any depth to the slots at all.. some of the hairline cracks are about 1/2cm long.. i just had a better look and one crack is from the edge of the disc to about half way in , and the crack itself looks 'wide' about 1/2mm of gap in it - so im fairly certain its new rotor time. whats a good price for dba 4000s? i'll be getting just the slotted version this time of course.

When you get the next set, stay away from cross drilled rotors. As you can see, they have a tendancy to crack on the street. If you must get cross drilled, try to get rotors that have cross casting instead of drilling. They seem to hold up a lot better.

im not going to touch drilled , not interested in rice - they came with the car
looks like im getting dba 4000's slotted, because of TSP that the GOLD slotted dont have. |

Talk to Joe (balistic) on here, he gets the DBA 4000's at a good price (around $210 each I think). Gold's are cheaper but are a lower grade disk than the 4k's... If you want the ducks nutz get some 5000's....
