Aluminium Discs ?
I have a set of aluminium discs (aluminum rotors!) with 993 style hats and a box full of 'special' pads for these discs / rotors.
After searching this board and the www with few results I have a few Q's. 1) Besides them being ultra light (they are cross drilled too)... 2) Would they work in a race application? 3) Could I use normal pads (ie pads for steel discs) 4) Are there any safety concerns My car is currently running the 993TT steel discs so it would be a straight swop. Regards, Tom

Please keep your responses short...! Why? What can they be used for? After all - somebody made them for something... Regards, Tom

They may be the metal matrix type that were sold for a while - they had a high failure rate, tho a few people, I think, still use them

I've seen them, but I've never seen them work.
Aluminum just can't handle the heat like steel or carbon can. I used to have an aluminum rear disk on my motorcycle, but unlike the kids today, I never used my rear brake.
