Nice! Are you planning to paint that green or is that part of your color scheme? I only got slotted in the front, cross drilled in the back.

How about a pic from a bit further away.

I was gonna buy the red stuff but then , a member told me they where too hard on the ebay rotors and I decided to use the green stuff just to give it a try first.. Maybe I will change to red stuff or perhaps axxis later... for now the greens have very good a superior braking capabilities than stock and almost no dust ... and the appeareance just scares people they are like "why do you have green pads" and I am like "I am protecting the enviroment" heehhe LOL

Remember, brakes are cheaper than clutches.

I use to always downshift and rev-match. After I read your post about brakes being cheaper than clutches, I now abuse the brakes

turned out pretty nice. which year/model DSM did you get the caliper from?

Not to derail, but I'm looking to do a similar mod soon cause I want to take the RA out for a half day session at Road Atlanta. The course is notorious for crushing people's brakes. I've seen pics of DSM's with calipers glowing bright red after a few laps on it =) If endurance is a concern, would you still suggest the Greens? Anything else that can be done for a reasonable cost to help out the heat situation?

Green are not good for this application... lapping will require red or yellow, BTW yellow are now street and track !

I still have to call carbo tech to know if they have something for our car else I'll have to do the AWD DSM caliper's swap

I used 98 AWD talon TSI calipers ,,,,direct fit

You can use the yellow stuff but then keep in mind that race PADS are not to be used with stock brake components, thats what people dont understand, they just put the best pads they find without knowing **** about the limit their stock components can take...

For you application keep in mind the main reason for brakes turning red is too much grip and no ventilation soo.. What I wanted to do was to design a brake cooling system using the stock fog light assemblies and routing air from there , you can design a steel plate mounted on the strut hub assembly and then try to make it a curve pretty solid and check with the rim out move your steering wheel and check the limits of the curve, I had a porsche 944 turbo all it had was that and trust me the car did stopped pretty well ... as I said its a custom mod but is a must for cruising speeds ... Also better to try the red stuff , the yellow might wear your discs faster, yellows are recommended for RACING SPEC BRAKE SYSTEMS which NOBODY has in their Ralliarts, such as BREMBO POWERSLOT and expensive brand braking companies....
