Did you go through the recommended break-in procedure for the brake rotors that cracked? (I have Wilwood rotors also......!)

To echo acecob 'recommended break in'
Other than 1500 k's to do some running in of motor and fiddling with setup etc, etc. My break in went like this;
1. Get In
2. Start Car
3. Drive it like you stole it
4. Smile
I am guessing that is not what you meant.
For the sake of those who are yet to make this expensive error, please enlighten. What the brake/break in procedure is.
Thanks
Cameron

I think these fellas are getting confused. Cameron says his Wilwood calipers cracked, not his discs.
Cheers

It will be good to see everyone Scott, I missed last year as it was a clash with a daughters birthday and a business trip. This year I am all set. Just dust 'er off and blow our the spiders.
A few beers is high on the agenda
Cheers

DBA sell an off-the-shelf 13" rotor to suit NV-VP Commodores that fits straight to your HQ stub...

I think that's what these are Craig. They are the DBA5000 series rotors for Holden Commodore. The aluminium hat certainly makes them easy to modify.
If anyone is interested I've got these 328mm x 28mm Holden rotors for sale (going cheap). I've redrilled them to 4 3/4" PCD HQ holden and the center bore is Jag 3"
They are virtually brand new and have only done a couple of track days at Winton and few hunder road KM.
That's a Jag rotor on the left and the Holden rotor on the right.
I've also got a set of new AU rear discs that have been cross drilled. The calipers have been rebuilt and polished and they come with new pads. Good for anyone fixing up a 2nd hand AU rear for a CR kit and going cheap.
Got to clear some of this stuff out of the shed.
Sorry for the Hi-Jack
Cheers
