I have seen the additional wear of Metal Kings. Used on a set of 270mm
240K and twinspot sumitomo's you could clearly see after the first break
in run that the discs were being chewed more. This setup is on a 180B
rally car and the owner said he hasn't experienced any major brake fade
with them. He did mention having to do one stop to warm them a bit
before they felt good.
