C32 Brake pad Question
I am sure you guys C32 owners aware that C32 front rotor is one sided (meaning there is only left rotor and the same rotor is also mounted on the passenger side)..
Have you guys have any problem with the brake cooling (i.e rotor warpage, etc)...
Also what is the best dustless pad for C32 front brake.
Any feedback is welcome.
Regardz,
J Irwan

The Rotor is a Standard P/N..no left or right ..Even the Cross drills are Left side ..Go Figure?
I Had My Front rotors treated ..ala Cyro trestment (Cold Dip)
It Helps Prolong the Brake rotor Life!up to 3 times longer life
I Have Done this on Several cars..It Works!
The Brake pads ...You Can Use Porterfields/Mintex
I Use Porterfields with great results
I DONT recommend EBC pads ...

Thanks Mark..
By the way where can I send the rotor in to get it cryo-treated..?
Is that the same as cad-plating..?
Also what kind of Potterfields has less dust..?

Porterfield Brakes
You Can Send the Brake Rotors direct to PORTERFIELD for the treatment ..It Takes aprox 48 hours for the Freeze
NO The Treatment is NOT the same as The Cad Plate
The Cyro treatment Prolongs the Brake rotor ..longer life (WEAR)
The Cad Plate protects the Brake rotor from rusting @ The Hat Area..also Better looking
Use the RS Porterfield Pads less Dust ...
Install a metal shim on the metal side of the pad(Back Side) and you WILL not have any Squeak
Contact PORTERFIELD @ 949-548-4470
They are located in Costa Mesa Ca

C32 front brake uses the same pad as a R32 Skyline GTR, BMW 840/850CI, and I think also the same as the Maserati 3200GT.
Mintex red box is probably the cheapest(about $60) dust free pad out there with a decent reputation.
