..... Richard - I've just gone back over your website, and I'm wondering how well suited you feel your "standard" braking system is for sustained roadrace use? Did you choose the 12.19" rotors to keep to a price, or are you confident that the 12.19"s are large enough to dissipate the heat effectively. Further to that, have you ever found the D compund Wilwood pads to be not up to the task, or have they also proven more than adequate?


Thanks for keeping everyone on their toes

Craig,

The 12.19 rotors have plenty of mass for the requirement. The 13 inch rotors would give you a bit more moment arm and would therefore increase base torque at the rotor. However, the increase is not large enough to justify them as an option.

Customers can certainly ask for this but I would recommend the Brembo option with 360mm rotors instead. (Note: WAY EXPENSIVE, JBL does not even quote the price.)

Actually, the "D" pads are a option. The "A" pads are standard. The torque curves and CF are much better on the "A" pads. The "D" units are for the folks who do not like the heavy residue produced by the "A" units. (WAXERS)

PS: I fixed the link to the parts spread sheet on the site. The one that came up was two years old. (This proves that engineers are not good webmasters.)
