laugh.gif i forgot all about this thread. tongue.gif

Ya know... Oh never mind rolleyes.gif It's probably best that i dont comment farther laugh.gif

& its ok if you dont have faith in your product; but i'm the kind of guy that wants to see how sturdy something is before i trust my life to it. wink.gif I couldn't give a damn about any kind of prestige a product brings, All i care about is how good it works. biggrin.gif

Or if your' Richy-Rich, and all you care about is a name brand, thats cool too i suppose.

Then again, rich people leaving an inheritance is one way to keep the economy flowing laugh.gif

drilled discs are pointless, modern pad compounds dont give of the same level of gases as they breakdown as older pads used to, which is why the holes/grooves are there, so the gas escapes into those rather than getting trapped between the pad surface and disc, pushing the pad away from the disc surface.

drilled just weakens the disc, its purely marketing and your a mug if you fall for it. The likes of porsche have discs that are cast with the holes in it, they dont drill them, and again this is more for looks than anything.

Slotted is maybe usefull but that depends on the pad, most dont have the glazing problem anymore, again marketing owns you..

save some money by buying just plane old blanks, and spend the money you saved there on buying decent pads, get a good compound thats where the stopping power and fade characteristics come from.
