Extract from DBA FAQ website: Can I use these rotors for motor sport? No. The range of DBA Longlife Gold rotors are designed (and warranted) for street use only. For this reason, specialised rotors are required for racing, and specialised rotors for the street. With the DBA Longlife Gold product, we've carefully found a balance between extra performance and the safety, durability and affordability required by everyday street users.
The difficulty from our point of view is that what works best under race conditions is not necessarily best for the street. Furthermore, top race teams can afford to replace their discs at the end of each race, but the requirements of street customers are somewhat different. The sort of motor sport which road cars tend to be involved with (club lap dashes and sprint races) can often be harder on rotors than professional motor sport. Lap dashes and sprints often include very little warm-up and very little cool-down. Drivers often slam their foot on a set of cold brakes into the first corner and, at the end, park the car with the rotors still at 500 degrees Celsius. In such circumstances it is easy to warp discs, or even to weld the pads onto the disc surface. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
