What ? Like this ? The finish at Rob Roy Hillclimb.
Full Cooper S setup, but cold competition pads that don't offer enough bite.

Good pic. 8)
Somewhere I have a pic of Peter Manton at Warwick Farm, braking for creek corner with daylight under both rears. :lol:

You won't shear four wheel studs.
The biggest issue (and it's still rare at that) is when a ball joint shears.
The result is a chain reaction that either shears the other two or just makes a big mess.
Only ever happenend on poor quality aftermarket products.
:D

Mmmm quite the nice-ness. Almost need to be slotted or drilled so you can tell its actually a disc in there and not a blanking plate....

I thought about getting bigtime deadly brake rotors... But thought nah.... wats the point, the brakes will probably never get up to operating temperature... I mite think about it in the future, RDA can supply blank vented/cross drilled/slotted rotors. So then i can get the Mini PCD drilled on a blank Rotor... I found all this out after i had bought these and had them drilled.....

Well, yeah.... for driving purposes it may not be necessary..... but you like your car shows, and car show judges like to see bling and performance upgrades....


As long as you are happy with it, thats all that matters.


How long until the rear disc conversion???? :P Imagine having the car at a show, wheels on one side of the car, exposed F+R disc brakes on display on the other side of it........ OOOOH YEAH
