Yeah, we abuse em. Then again, they've been looking like this for a while now and are still working fine. We do take spare rotors just in case though, and this is arguably the most cost effective system available for the car

Most kits use a 28mm thick rotor, and 16mm pad. The Essex "Sprint" kit uses a 32mm thick rotor and 21mm pads.

Are there published specs for the Wilwood?
