Thanks Dave. That's a pretty strong endorsement of Essex's decision not to develop a rear solution.

I was recently PM'd with some questions.

No, don't run the rotors until they're this thin! We replaced ours when we saw this

PM us for pricing and specials, but please post questions in this thread so that we can share the knowledge with everyone!

THE BEST@!@!

Slightly off topic... Endurance kit love

The pro pilot who drives the car below in the BTCC ( significant limey racing series

) did a few laps of Silverstone in my BRZ on Sunday, and I quote him exactly ; "the brakes are very good; superb"

LOL not really.

Just saying that I still would have run those rotors you removed. I guess I should have said "until they crack through and through"

In the Brembo world they suggest 31MM as min thickness for a 32MM rotor, but that's crazy talk

I've seen them run much further without issue. Of course I'm not that smart... sooo...

Jeff already covered my desire to abuse brakes to the point of failure

I see your crack and raise you... shattered?

We really do test products as thoroughly as we can; this failure is NOT normal. This was done on the 400hp CSG S2k.

Yeah you failed on that one worse than I've ever failed with any brake system.

I did bust a caliper seal (rebuilt ITR not an AP one!) this weekend.

I don't know if I should take this as a compliment or LMAO statement...hahaha

Obviously a testament of how fast our setups run...

LOL I still think that was a defective rotor. Not saying you guys aren't fast, but that's just too much of a failure to be normal since I'm pretty confident that you guys actually inspect your rotors at least once a day during a DE.
