Drillslinger Posted December 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yeah, that's kind of the plan. I've been "Reminded" of StopTech and will be sending them, along with Brembo and a couple of other companies an e-mail here today sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 The other thing to do is have a set of ATE Powerdisks (as you like them) slotted for you. A good tuner will do this for you, or engine builder... Then put in some Pagid race pads (or better yet - rally pads) and you'll be set. This is what I did with my A4Q and it worked a treat.

Drillslinger Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Actually, the Powerdiscs are already slotted Rachel, it's the behavior of the slots against the pads when under hard braking that is making me consider swapping to drilled Here is a pic of the Powerdiscs so you can see what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 I can see why they would be noisy... My last slotted pair (on my A4Q) were done by a race engine/car builder friend who did them radially from the hub to the outer edge in a straight line at a 15degree angle - every 30 degrees around the disc. A bit like this diagram: It worked a treat - was no noisier than standard "clean" rotors, but with the race pads - stopped fast enough to break your nose on the steering wheel.

Drillslinger Posted January 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Hmm, well thanks for that I've heard that the EBC Grooved discs can be noisy as well, but if nobody else has had problems, I might just make the safe decision and stick with slotted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
