[QUOTE="Chris@FreedomMotorsports, post: 1108222, member: 8341"] Actually, you are both misunderstanding what I am even promoting. I am not speaking in reference to BBK kits. While I offer them and they have their place, the package that I am promoting is the stock OEM replacement bolt on kit. Not the BBK which costs substantially more. Also, when I speak of improvement in brake fade, that is real world, not just some marketing hype. I can point to several examples, but the reason brake fade is improved is because when you compare drilled and slotted rotors to stock OEM blanks in general, you improve brake fade, especially on long downhill grades. If you haven't experienced brake fade on a downhill grade then you aren't on a bad grade. However, the casting materials make a big difference as well. When you consider that the stock OEM rotors are cast iron and the R1Concepts Premier series rotors are cast from G3500 rated high carbon metallic blend material and not the industry standard G3000 rated cast iron, they come out ahead because they do not heat up as much, as quickly and they cool faster.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] Also, I have personally seen brake fade in a single braking event in emergency stopping many times with stock parts, as have others. It IS possible, it DOES happen, more often than you might think. The R1 package also decreases stopping distance. [/QUOTE]
