8 slot I think should suffice. Nice drawings too.

Thanks mate. Yeah I'm thinking the 8 slots too.
By the way Neil did you get around to watching the youtube video posted in your thread?

[Mischa]

yeah i reckon 8 slots at the max. they're not a cosmetic mod afterall

[Treza360]

Toys...





Edit: Forgot to mention, big thanks to German Autoparts in the USA and Guy and Alex for supplying the rotors and pads respectively.

just remember technically the more slots you have the more Friction surface area you lose so 16 would be just stupid..
I went with six as it left a slot at a distance apart the pad was only just toching both..

paint the pad backing plates Black.. they will look silly peaking out from behind blue caipers.. ..

Yeah I did actually see some on the interweb that did have a million slots. Looked quite interesting.
I'm getting 8, the same as the ECS tuning OEM slotted rotors. They're being done as we seak. Opposite direction to you though (and to what I posted above)

If you look at the pads closely you can see they've got the black thingy (not sure of the technical term for it) on the back anyway. Stupid camera flash washed it out too much.

good stuff buddy!

Nice one! I'll be keen to hear your reports on them and how dusty you find them. I've been delaying doing anything about my break pads until I decide if I'm doing something about the breaks first.

Niiiiiiice.

What's that I hear you say? I picked up some new toys today aside from the new brake setup.
What is it?
Photos to come soon...

Please don't tease!

Regarding the slotted talk;

DBA design the discs so that there's basically a segment all the way around the disc with a slot - the slot just allows the hot fumes from brake pads to escape, thus allowing better braking (as otherwise this gas acts as a buffer/cushion between pad and disc, until is pushed out of way - is meant to make up for about 0.# of a second of lag.) I'd be copying their design

Slotting is already done, I will be picking up the rotors on thursday or friday.
Got a basic eight slot design as I showed above but with the slots in the opposite direction to what I put above.
Oh and slightly off topic to your comment, DBA don't even make a rotor for the R.

Glenn pics of the toys will be coming real soon.

1 x Stubby Antenna. Nice and shiny but yawn...


1 x Nice aluminium hose. Whatever could it be for...


1 x BMC CDA. Ooh shiny...


And lastly, oh look, Koni adjustable sports suspension (front and rear) and H&R springs...




The BMC CDA and suspension setup are both slightly used but both are in good condition and the tops for the fronts are pretty much brand new. Big thanks to Guy for putting me onto his co-driver.

Neil you suck for getting the Thomas Tuning rear strut brace before I did.

Al I found out who you sold your stock suspension and swaybars to.

Cheers,
Trent
