I decided to change out my front brake rotors beofore the Rotary Revolution. I am participating on the Road course on sunday and wanted to make sure the brakes are 100%.





Upon close inspection of the front rotors after they were pulled you can see little hairline cracks on them. They were getting ready to let loose.



Man! That could have been really bad.



Pics soon...





I decided to get Powerslot Front Rotors and I put on my Hawk HP Plus Pads. I use Hawk HPS for the street and Autocrossing. I have these HP Plus pads for Track events.



I would have never expected my rotors to be cracked with 60K miles on them.

You use the Hawk pads that the nopiston store sells right?

phinsup 04-14-2004 08:51 PM

We sell Hawk/Powerslot (same company) and Endless now if you really want to go all out.

rowtareh 04-14-2004 08:54 PM

Endless? Oh the brake pads for like 250 bucks??

phinsup 04-14-2004 09:03 PM

Yea, $225 in the store, seems like a lot for brakes to me, but what the hell.

Are you going to be driving on the street with those Hawk brake pads? If you are have fun with the obnoxiosly loud squeaking they produce....Damn ceramic brake pads https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

I dunno about the HP Plus's, my dad has the carbon ferro's on his and they have been great.

ive seen that on an fd with 50k easy miles. those cross drilled rotors just do that.



i also know a guy who is so hard on the brakes that he wore thru the rotors in a weekend! they were littereally down to the vents!
