Default Re: Shockworks 6 pot alloy calliper upgrade

Looks a very impressive package. With the critical aspect of braking integrity, have you sorted out the cracking that occurred to the floating rotors at the stud jointure area.

Have you redesigned the floating stud so that it is not "open" on the front hat side causing forces to be transmitted through the stud resulting in cracking of the disc.

Comments on any design changes to the disc and hat stud joints since the failures involving members of this forum would be appreciated.

I am genuinely interested in a braking upgrade for my car, but I have to be confident that the calipers and rotors will not crumble at 220 kph...

Would be appreciated if you can provide some detailed engineering design info or photos to quell fears...
