looks great man, I loved my Stasis brakes on my S4. They are a good bunch of guys

AM335 · 09-08-2007, 05:20 PM

Sweet. Did you have the rear brakes done as well?

They dont have something yet...I could probably swap out the rotors for one that match the front in format...but they will be smaller...probably 340-345mm..whatever stock rear size is. We did discuss possibilities. Since I am a guinea pig for them...I would probably be the first or one of the first with a rear kit or upgrade if they have one. To be honest though...do I really need to upgrade the back..other than a more high performance pad for track?

Gotta love the BBKs :rocks:

S4to335 · 09-08-2007, 07:10 PM

Another pic..close up this time...cracks me up that the camera caught that the wheels werent as clean as I thought they were...I think I need new contacts...

leftcoastman · 09-10-2007, 01:47 PM

Can't wait to hear how they perform on track. I got a set of race pads (front only) and can't wait to try that out.

OC Guy · 09-10-2007, 01:54 PM

Looks great.

Spool · 09-10-2007, 02:05 PM

Looks great...

interesting on the half-moon shapes however...any special reason for this design?

S4to335 · 09-10-2007, 03:12 PM

Here is a reason for the half moons....I cant find where it is discussed..I will keep looking.

leftcoastman · 09-10-2007, 04:40 PM

I imagine it provides similar pad cleaning effects as the slotted variety while providing some of the benefits of cross-drilled without the fatiguing downsides.

sg335 · 09-10-2007, 10:06 PM

What pads did you get?

S4to335 · 09-11-2007, 12:59 AM

SBS Pro-Track Brake Pads

Pro-Track pads utilize a carbon ceramic compound that is ideal for high performance street and track use.

Features

Rising friction toward end of stop

High thermal stability
----disc temps to 1292°F (700°C)

No fade

High level of initial bite

Rotor-friendly

SBS Pad Technology

Nucap Retention System
Superior mechanical contact between the backing plate and the pad material ensures that pad seperation cannot occur once assembled. This also eliminates vibration between the backing plate and the pad material.

Dynamic Energy Surface Treatment
A heating process to degass the pad material. This provides more consistent performance and simplifies pad bedding.

Unified Composite Technology
Proprietary system that creates a homogeneous pad material mixture.
