after racing for most of the day, i'm guessing my brake were getting a bit hot and by the end of the day.. i could put my foot to the floor and have not much happen . what can be done about this? i've read that for MB's that you can put swift GTi brakes on them.. is that possible for my rs-r? how much better are these brakes?
also have to get stiffer springs.. but i'm just waiting on money .... i wish i was rich.. ( as do we all )
I'd start by fitting some decent pads and draining/refilling/bleeding the brake fluid. You can get custom slotted rotors made but I think you'll find that the majority of the fade comes down to cheap pads and poor fluid.
GTi hubs might fit an Alto, but they're no good if you plan on lowering it. There is also one guy with a turbo 4WD MB that did the swap and found that the brakes simply did not ever get hot enough to grab properly with the larger ventilated GTi rotors.
yeah sounds like an idea.. i can bleed MTB and Moto bike disc brakes.. just that i'm not sure how one goes about it on a car.. with the pedal being quite far away from the calipers that your bleeding and stuff
i'm not sure if this is the right thread - but i got a mate to measure my rotors (89 alto works rs/r) and they are quite a bit bigger then the DBA511's listed in the DBA catalogue
i have to double check the measurements, but so far cannot find anything similar listed in the suzuki section of said catalogue
'89 Alto Works RS/R - Awaiting: Paint, Windscreen, Compliance, Lottery
'89 Alto Works RS/R - Complied, Registrable, Awaiting Paint, Engine not running

There is always the option of getting your standard discs machined, then fly cuts put in them to match the DBA slotted rotors. Would be pretty much the same thing, assuming your current rotors are within wear tolerance.
