I have a few questions about brakes on my rs2k which is going on track...

I have the choice of:

tarox 40 groove or new std disks... to be used with Mintex 1166 pads.

The issue is that the tarox disks are down to the last 0.5mm of thickness before they are minimum thickness (minimum is 22mm and they measure 22.5mm).

What do I use?!

Mintex 1166s are race pads and probably work better with groves to help clear glaze etc... but the tarox disks are thin and nearly dead... the std disks are well, just std and arn't going to de-glaze anything!

i woulda thought that with the disc being thinner it'll get hotter quicker and be ineffective probably better going with std new discs

AlexF

this is true jim,

but a std pad will have problems with race pads I think...

Just get your hand in you pocket and get a new set of tarox disks

After all its going on the track and your going to use the brakes quite hard

AlexF

No more money to spend on it Alan,,,

I got the mini to think about

Alan s1

Ok then yours your standard didks but cross drill them first

M8 used to do it on the stock rod racing he did Just remeber to counter sink the holes

Alan s1

By the way when you going on the track and which track you going to

AlexF

hmm but cross drilled ALWAYS crack dont they?!?!

Going to dono on sat

So i heared the other day ...........?????

But im sure my m8 did'nt have any problems with his race car But it was stock rod racing so they probly dont use the brakes as mush or as harsh as you will at dono at the wkend

I would have said i'll come along but im off down to essex to hopefully get the cossie

Have fun m8
