Yeah, Isn't it a cool design! It gives you all the advantages of a slotted, drilled, rotor with the minimum weight.

 

This is one of the most unorthodox brake kits I've ever seen. I love it! Keep up the great innovation.

 

We are going to test rotor on my car as soon as they are made . The way rear rotor is made it will cool much better than stock rotor , but it will not hold as much heat . A lot of the heat in the stock rear rotor stays there or travels down into hub . This same design rotor is being used on Bob Woodhouse's racing Vipers. We will recommend removing dust shield to promote better air flow over rotor . Rotor holes that mount rotor to hat are slotted more than front because steel rotor has larger movement on hat.

I will know more about temperatures that are involved as soon as I get rear pads for my car . ( rear pads are in process of being made at this time ) All of the testing that I have done with my car I have had no problems with rear brakes and I have only the stock pads on . Warren at The Brake Man thinks that rear brake problems may be related to the front brakes . You overload front brakes and the rear then becomes overloaded. The big brake kit removes some of the rear braking load . As you stop faster more weight is transferred to front of the car as long as you don't over do it , you improve braking. With the components that we are using in kit the front brakes will not become overloaded and not creating more of problem for rear brakes .

That is an interesting observation. I have seen that most of the complaints with rear brakes overheating is from fast drivers that are using stock pads that are prone to pad fade. When using the higher friction aftermarket pads I have not seen the problem. Sounds like he is right on!

 

Rear design will remove 3 LBS of weight from each wheel in rear!!!!!!! Brake pads will be finished soon . I will post at that time.

All this potential weight savings is fabulous, but I have a feeling it's going to be hella expensive.

 

oh man...time to pay off the credit cards so I can max them out again.

 

What's being done to maintain the OEM brake bias?

 

Or, I would add, does this car have Electronic Brake Force Distrubution? Then balance/bias won't be a problem unless the proportion front to rear is drastically changed.
