View Full Version : Or how about this Stoptech rotor.... jzkbbi 06-12-2003, 05:45 PM <center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/11638/stoptech.jpg"></center><p> Still measures 31.5 mm, and I am told I don't need new until 30. But look at those grooves!

Cracks in the interior areas of the rotor are fine as long as you can't stick a fingernail into them. jzkbbi 06-12-2003, 05:54 PM <center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/11638/cracks.jpg"></center><p>But I cant feel them with my nail...

AlanL 06-13-2003, 04:02 AM Žob 06-13-2003, 05:45 AM They have the same type of cracks jzkbbi 06-13-2003, 05:54 AM and they seem to be holding up great. donistook 06-14-2003, 01:31 PM ATE, Zimmerman, Brembo, Alcon, PFCs and StopTech have all exibited cracks like that after track/race use. The Porsches and BMW's we service also exhibit cracks if the cars are driven hard....normal for rotors to do that. If the cracks extend to the outer or inner edges and you can put your fingernail in them....they should then be replaced. If you track your car at all, this is normal. Don Istook |
