Stop Tech ST41 BBK fitting with pics *update cracked disks after 4 weeks*

Though I would post an update to these.

On Friday when I was looking over the car I came across x3 serious cracks in one of the disks which I was extremely shocked about. (See pic below of an example).

These have only been on for 4 weeks and have not had a chance to use them correctly. I'm glad I seen this when I did as things could have been a lot worse.

I've ordered slotted disks as replacements as there must be a fundamental fault with these style of drilled disks.

xjay1337:
That's BAD.
This is why I only ever go for grooved/j hook discs - Drilled is for old men in Mercedes who make them think it's fasterer.

rich83:
That's dreadful. As Jay said. Go for the slotted rotors, they should be much more resilient.

Have you spoken to awesome yet?

s31teg:
I had drilled on my ST40 kit for years with no problems. Definitely would not go for them again. TBH the performance difference is probably tiny.

I'm getting slotted replacements tomorrow. I have spoken with awesome but their answers are very poor and can't provide a solid answer about warranty timescales so I've had to pay for a replacement set then send these back to get refunded under warranty, also it turns out warranty does not extend to labour which I need to look into further.

grey golfster:
Sh1t, that's not good at all!

Neither the cracked discs, nor the response from Awesome!

V disappointing; I wonder if they will explain why?

See above, i have grooved, as recommended.....

Hope you get sorted v soon.
