At the recent VTR convention there was a session on tuning Triumphs. On the
topic of brakes I heard two things:
Green stuff is a marketing success, if you want good upgraded brakes use
Kevlar
Drilled and slotted rotors are bling
Rather unfortunate as I have both sitting in the basement..

Subject: [6pack] TRF Brake Discs
TRF has their EBC HIGH-TECH BRAKE DISCS on sale this week
(http://tinyurl.com/36zb3d) and I'm wondering what ya'all's experience is
with them beyond the "looks cool" factor. Do they make a difference in
braking in normal driving or are they mostly for the racer in us? Also the
description says "finished in gold cadmium plating to protect them till you
put them on your car". Does that mean the gold plating will wear off as you
use them and what do they look like after that? Does anybody have another
recommendation in the $190 range that TRF is offering?
Thanks....starting to collect parts for the brake rebuild project in
Nov/Dec.
