Hey Joe, i coulda skimmed those discs for nothing! Skimming discs removes around .020 each time you do it depending on the amount of warp thats in the disc.

Al least you got Bendix fro BnT,The little gnome that works in Lower Hutt branch insists that Bendix dont do 4pot pads so i went to Wgtn to get them!!

Ha........ good to see u in here bro. For nothin huh?........i remember that next time ;D Those bendix sure are dusty bitches. Yeah picked up some 4 pots and got my eye on some rotors. What u driving now?

Joe - I can tell you its not the size of your brakes causing your issues. As Im running factory RS brake callipers/rotors and had no problems hauling up from 200+ on the straights on semi slicks, so stopping reasonably quickly. And my car would be probably the heaviest BC5 too there as I had passengers, a bunch of metal bars in the car and a rather large sump guard I couldn't be bothered taking off.

I ran Hawk 9012s with brand new rotors and installed them and bedded them in on the track. I was happy with the performance but think I needed to rebleed the brakes after bedding pads in to make for a thoroughly happy setup.

+1 Viv...

I'm still using standard calipers/rotors and i did 10+ laps with no fade to mention.

Using bendix ultimate pads...

I have found that they stop well from the 195ish i was hitting on the end of the back straight..

My rotors did warp but that was from a shitload of runs.. Both Linda and i were taking the car out all day....

I run both R888's semi's and the Silverstone slicks that day...

These rotors have done three road and track days at Manfeild and the Whariti hillclimb

Rather than skim the rotors i will just bin them and out in a new set of BNT generic's.
