Brake Kit Marketing 101

[BA.]

A "brake dyno" - now that sounds cool. I can almost envision it too. How great would that be if a standard input speed or torque were used and then the rotor heat output measured by infra-red or something?(or temp. measurement after a specific time factor) It'd be a nice way to measure a rotors ability to dissipate heat over 2-3 runs and compare to someone elses rotor.


I didn't realize that Rippie does what you mentioned Chicane, but you're right, that is ideally what I think would be nice to see (at least) from within one company like Bear or Wilwood or SSBC. A comparison of real performance data about each package, or how it changes between packages.

When you mentioned this:
"If the end user doesnt educate themselves to what it does take to get 'those' numbers, then they lay blame on the manufacturer and or installer", ,....my eyes lit up because it's SO SO true, but then again, something I would never do myself. And because it's true, I'll probably never see the data from Bear or Stoptech or SSBC that I want to.

Thanks for your input guys!




MKELCY: "disclaimer" my friend. That's all it takes. But you are right, some idiot somewhere would try to take advantage. Then again, we don't see Camshaft and Head manufacturers getting sued, or K&N getting sued because Product X didn't give them "10-15" horsepower. (K&N's an easy target there)
