It's on the face of the disc, not really near the edges, just sort of inside it. Small lines, the guy says he's seen it before. I would not think I've ever gotten my brakes hot enough for them to crack if cooled down too quickly, ie going through a puddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what youd expect from a "performance" pad.spend the extra on ferrodo's or something.Cheers! Will keep in mind for next time I change pads :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
