Thread: Brake Disks

  1. #1
    The aftermarket disks as seen on a few web adds is costly and the 'waved disk' trend is dangerous due to the fact that the percentage of the metal covered by the actual disk pad when braking is sometimes less than 40%, scary . We have researched and cut some Domex Metal disks [armour plated type steel used in the military environment][front and rear] with a wave on the outer rim, not only does it look great, but the Swedish metal is less abrasive, with close to zero wear-and-tear with absolute great heat dispersion.

    Possible, although I do not know of anybody in the BRA or BRG in South Africa having a waved disk. We also experience that the current disk performs better than the standard disk. We unfortunately have to comply with the SABS Standards in order to manufacture disks and to prevent any claims should something go wrong

    yea, it performs better cause the wave gives you a larger cooling surface so you have less fading ;)

    Deon,

    Wicked disks. Did you just laser cut from plate, or did you then machine afterwards? I have used Swedish Steels Domex before - did you choose this after trial and error or would any high strength steel do?

    If I begged nicely could you let me have the DXF's?
