lol, where do you think I got the idea from! I saw the ad and thought: 'yes, I'll have some of those!'.

[Trust33]

lol.i must know if they really do the job they are saying.it looks to be good.

good point about the hpc coating as well.

[Trust33]

so has any1 got a verdict on these yet?

[T04GTR]

for that money its worth a shot. nothing like actual titanium inserts but worth a shot. also alot of the heat is transferd thru radiation off the rotor.

[T04GTR]

and being that thin. i dought it would stop any significant heat.

well I've got mine now, just have to actually use them!

I'm going to be trying mine at Wakkie on Thursday 8/11/07. But i'd Sandown will be the real test, as that's the only place i'm currently running out of breaks. Will let you know what I think thou.

Problem is i'm going to be using new rear rotors too, so changing 2 things isn't good for feedback.

Yeah i'll try them at Winton on Tuesday. I'll be running brand new pads up front as well.

sooooooooo how'd it go?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yes, how did they go, any improvement ?

[Beer Baron]

well mine are working very nicely keeping heat from the bottom of the box they are in from getting to the top, but as to how they work in car I have NFI as I haven't had a chance to use them yet

[ferni]

I used mine at winton, think it may have blocked a bit of heat, one side of them is scorched the other isn't.... As for how much difference they really hard, it's hard to say. For $80 i'm not going to complain.
