To me that says that the pad wasn't quite seated 100% parallel to the disc so the inside has worn more than the outside.

That was my impression also. But the J are not all gone all across the disc. Some parts of the disc are gone and others are not.

Well maybe the discs wasnt 100% true either. I shouldnt worry about it, most discs probably wear like this, its just that you are seeing it due to the hooks

Hi I've read through most of this and was wondering what disc size the fronts are running? Also does anybody have any pic's of the NQS Rear?

When installed on the car the NQS rear looks exactly like the oem ones.   :smiley:

Vlad, take a look at the Tarox discs that Teo is unsing on his 345 Cupra brakes. Same wear pattern. I've seen it on other brakes also (and not all were single piston caliper).

Difference is Vlads are a good 1/2mm plus thinner than design min thickness, the wear rate isn't linear and accelerates when thinner......

Some of the heat treatments can either involve firing or immersing in molten salt for a while, whichever method the hardening is obviously crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.......armadillo!

Sorry back on topic....

They've done incredibly well....they need replacing.....they don't last for ever

Having changed a few supposed race discs and pad sets in the last few years, these seem amazing.

Well done Prof Friction.   :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

all we need now are Proj Mu pads!

Yup, the wear seemed linear till this point and know I suspected the pads for causing this (RS 29).
Stefan, I've seen this problem with Eddy's Type R FN2 Stoptech bbk (he also has RS 29) but luckily for my my discs are much cheaper to replace  :grin:

Hello,

I just tried to mount the NQSBBK to my Audi A3 8V.
Good news is the caliper fits within the wheel.

Bad news is the adaptator doesn't fit !!! It touches the hub.

I took some pics.

Any help ?

DaveB do you do another adaptator that would do ? Or could I cut it a bit ?
