Was looking to upgrade my brakes. It came down to these two:

or

I have never heard of the second one. Has anyone here?

 

I found his website last week and read a few of his informational post and it seems like he knows what hes talking about, I just responded because I want to hear what the masses have to say about them as I was interested too but kinda fell back because I know nothing about them.

 

Huh! Looks interesting. I am not sure i want to give up surface area for spiffy 'not round' discs though...

 

Yeah from what I hear they are worth every penny. I was thinking the same about the surface area thing, then I did some research

found this on another forum:

"It has a lot to do with having virtually NO caliper deflection, and having a pad formulated for what your application requires. They also get deep into the details, wanting to see brake pressure data to insure you have the correct bore size master cylinder to allow you to generate the static pressure required to hold the car under boost on the line.

A pad formulated for "general high performance use", or specifically for "long duration high speed braking" will NOT hold a turbo car on the line under boost. They make pads in "industry standard" sizes, so you can try their different pad formulas with other manufacturers brakes. However, to realize the full potential of the brakes, you have to have the caliper and rotors. Their calipers deflect less than .001" under 1200 psi. Ask your caliper manufacturer of choice what THEIR calipers deflect. I think if they they provide an answer at all, you'll be shocked how much they deflect under braking.

Those rotors might not look like they have enough surface area, but they can stop super heavy cars like Al Jimenez' blown radial Camaro, (who has to run at over 3500lbs at most west coast races) at any track he races without a chute. Those rotors will also last the lifetime of most drag cars, which is a claim very few if any brake manufacturers would make."
