What do you have? Rcr?Nope I haven't
Ok fek that. Should I get just the rcr pads and not their disks?? What's the difference between theirs and stock?Yes, I had them prior to going to RCR. They stop only slightly better than stock and wear very quickly. Not worth it at all. RCR is the only way to fly IMHO.
Yeah I have rcr??What do you have? Rcr?
Well you are a peepee so there's no changing that ??? but, I know rcr is the best, I was just asking, I thought these looked like a nice product for a cheap price. Turns out, they suck, so I'm going to go rcr, was just curious ?Z I don't really want to sound like a peepee, but. How many threads have you read and commented on about baja brakes? And the number one go to is RCR, not FFRC or any other brand. Common now. buy once cry once you knew the answer before you asked.
P.s. sorry for being a peepee?
Man you've been doing it all week isn't that enough??? Evil sonuvabitch ????I know, just had to rag on you a bit....
Should I get just the rcr pads and not their disks??
Ah ok makes sense ? I'll spend the extra 20 an just get the best of the best eh ??I know it would be tempting to just get the pads and see what happens, but I strongly recommend against this. The pads and disks are actually made of alloys that are designed to work together to give maximum grab with minimal wear. There was a lot of guffawing over this claim by the old guard when they first came out, but RCR really did their homework, and proved their claims with performance and longevity. I think they sprinkled a little bit of magic in the metal, tbh. I have over a gallon in mine and the pads are only showing slight scratching along the rotors. Nothing you could consider actual wear. I'll get you some pics the next time I have it torn down.
By comparison, my FFRC aluminum brake shoes were worn in by 1mm+ after a gallon, and another 1mm was worn out of the CF disk. I tossed my stock brake disks long ago, so I can't get you a thickness comparison, but they're definitely not made of the same material.
Do yourself the favor and get the complete kit. Do it right the first time, and I guarantee you will not regret it! ?
The rcr are great ?? it's the copper?? iv made some stuff out of copper cutting it is quite sticky ?
Ah ok makes sense ? I'll spend the extra 20 an just get the best of the best eh ?
Yes you probably right it's an alloy maybe nickle for that added body + with the third shoe it makes all the difference ??The pads are definitely a copper alloy
