[TR] [6pack] TRF Brake Discs

[acekraut11 at aol.com]

 List:

This brings up a couple other questions.? If the green stuff is a marketing success, what does that mean in regards to those pads?? Are they just as good as regular brake pads, but not better?? If I recall correctly (big if) then one of the benefits of the green stuff pads was also reduced brake dust.? For those who have switched, is this the case?? Like you Stan, I have accumulated a set of green stuff brake pads and will put them one one of these days but they might go on sooner if the amount of brake dust was reduced.? Guess I am lucky I was too cheap to buy the big buck rotors.

At the recent VTR convention there was a session on tuning Triumphs. On the
topic of brakes I heard two things:

Green stuff is a marketing success, if you want good upgraded brakes use
Kevlar

Drilled and slotted rotors are bling

Rather unfortunate as I have both sitting in the basement..

TRF has their EBC HIGH-TECH BRAKE DISCS on sale this week
(http://tinyurl.com/36zb3d) and I'm wondering what ya'all's experience is
with them beyond the "looks cool" factor. Do they make a difference in
braking in normal driving or are they mostly for the racer in us? Also the
description says "finished in gold cadmium plating to protect them till you
put them on your car". Does that mean the gold plating will wear off as you
use them and what do they look like after that? Does anybody have another
recommendation in the $190 range that TRF is offering?

Thanks....starting to collect parts for the brake rebuild project in
Nov/Dec.
