Re: ATE powerdisc

Just FYI

I have Brembo cross-drilled rotors on my CQ.  They were cheaper than
powerdiscs, and some people have reported cracking on the ATE hardware.  

I also have KVR Carbon Fiber pads.  Highly recomended, almost no dust,
incredible braking. The first 200 miles you do get rather large carbon
fiber particles because they are new, but after that, nothin, zero, nada. 
And I drive high speed traffic, with lots of fast braking (rush hour in
DC...), often 70 to 0 to 70 to 0, etc. The rims on my RX7 (sans x-drill or
carbon) get dirty in about 2 days...

I also have stainless steel lines from KVR.  In fact, I bought everything
there ;-).
