[Biturbos4] Zimmerman brake discs in the UK?

[j y]

Would u include StopTechs or Alcons in your generalization - both fit the scenarios you highlight - but most S4ers (on AudiWorld) swear by them.

Most x-drilled discs you buy out there are basically blank discs with a bunch of holes drilled. Even if they treat the drilled discs somewhat, they're still more prone to stress cracking around the holes and subsequently warpping the discs. Also by removing material, you're lower the thermal mass capacity of the discs which makes them the brakes fade easier (although there may be extra cooling due to the holes, not sure how much of an advantage that is). Lastly the x-drilled discs eat brank pads up much faster.

You may say that Porsches have drilled discs, but AFAIK their discs are casted with holes in them and they are treated afterwards to strengthen the structure, very different than some vendors going at a bunch of blank discs on a drill press.

No bashing here, just stating what I know and curious of what others think on this subject.
