16 Without a doubt, these brake packages cost more than some brakes, but are similar in price to the top Baer, Brembo & AP brakes. Frankly, when I designed them. Price point wasn’t my focus. I simply wanted to make the very best brakes possible for Pro-Touring cars to drive on the street daily … then autocross & track well when they want, as often as they want. The fact we did this with one pad is amazing. It is a brake industry first. I stake my reputation on these brakes. These will be the best brakes you ever run on a Pro-Touring car. While our brake packages offer 26 specific benefits over the competitor's brakes … there are 5 REALLY BIG BENEFITS: #1 - More Stopping Power than a ZR1 C7 Corvette * 3460# with our brake package versus the C7 with #3150 #2 - The ONLY brake system to perform excellent on street, autocross & track days with ONE PAD. * Our system has great cold bite for autocross & highway use * Our system has ZERO Brake Fade up to 1200° & only 5% at 1400° * We typically see 1050-1100° with 30 minutes of hard use on road courses with 3600# cars #3 - New "Adherent" Pad Technology is a game changer * Our pads do NOT grind or wear the rotors ... at all ... like old "Abrasive" pad technology * Our pads use cutting edge "Adherent Technology" that creates a layer of material on the rotor * It's like a dragster laying down rubber & then running in's own rubber for more grip * The rotors last much longer due to this technology * Eventually they will heat crack, as all rotors do. But they don't wear out. #4 - Total Cost of Operation * With other brake systems, you need 3 sets of pads * One set for Street at $150-200, another for Autocross at $300 & a set for the track at $500+ * A full set of the pads for our system "retail" for $186 & typically sell for $160 from Dealers * Yes, that is a full set of pads for front & rear * No need for race pads that cost $500, dust, squeal & eat your rotors * Rotors last MUCH longer * Overall cost of operation will pay for the purchase difference in a few years #5 - Stronger, Safer Hub & Bearing system * Old muscle cars typically ran a TINY LM10949 outer bearing rated at 917# thrust load (cornering load) * Back in the day ... when the car came with G70-14 Bias ply tires ... and suspension technology was weak ... these were fine * Now, with bigger & better gripping tires, bigger brakes & modern suspensions, we're seeing 1400- 1600# thrust loads when cornering … on Street Tires ! * I worked directly with Timken to come up with a bigger, better, stronger ... SAFER ... outer bearing * The Timken #21075 is rated at 2540# of thrust load & is available at regular parts stores for $20-25 Key Benefits
