bad idea: non-aero rotor on your aero Posted by bobc [Email] (#473) [Profile/Gallery] (more from bobc) on Tue, 1 May 2007 10:52:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I did my front brakes last weekend, and it turns out the previous owner (or the PO's mechanic) decided to save some $$ by using a non-aero rotor. my guess is that it's a rotor for a linear.
the pad hung off the top of the rotor. Only about 80% of the pad surface was in contact with the rotor. worse, as the pads wore down, the tops of the pads would eventually have contacted ... and that would have been bad ... for me, my car and whoever was in front of me.
