Well John, I'll never drive my current car as hard as any of you guys in NASA period. It's not a real race car. If its a known issue, why haven't I heard any...
This is the reason for all the broken Brembo rotors (Joe J. Todd Z. etc) per Brembo. Wayne and Ricard are aware of it, but there is no current cheap solution...
I do too have the problem and would love a good solution. Right now the easiest and cheapest solution is to replace the hubs on a regular basis and stick with...

Wow- this topic seems to have gone nowhere fast.... First of all, a spindle is not the same as a hub. The hub is a bearing assembly. The spindle, or upright,...

Wow. The thought of a hub lasting a few years is Greek to me. I get about 4-6 weekends out of them usually. Our Grand Am Cup cars get maybe 2-3 weekends on...
