PFC Rotors
Another question for the group ...
Besides adding camber plates, I am looking to go to a full floating rotor brake setup. I have done some research and am leaning toward purchasing the Performance Friction rotors along with their 97 compound pads. Anyone gone this route with their cars or will I be blazing new trails?
Thanks,
Bob

Chad,
I wonder why they would be so hard on hubs? They would transfer less heat to them, so I would think that would make them last longer. Maybe the increased braking performance stresses them? The million dollar question ... Just how much are new hubs? Supposedly the PFC rotors last much longer than the stock rotors (I was told 4 times as long in racing applications) so if the hubs are not too expensive, one might be ahead financially by going in this direction anyway.

I am also curious to the reason why floating rotors would cause such wear to the hubs. I have just installed the Perfect Power 14" floating rotor upgrade using the stock calipers.
