Technical experience with ATE powerdisc

[bozothenutter]

Hi,

anybody have experience with the above?

or any reccomendations for uno turbo conversion front discs?

If you are using an aggressive pad then discs have to be considered consumables.

I just fit standard Uno Turbo discs and change them regularly.

EBC green, is that agressive?

 

[rallycinq]

Possibly, I use Mintex 1144, when I can't get 171.

I had forgotten about mintex..

Are they part of ATE or vice versa? Their online catalogue opens up the ATE site

When it comes to brake disc's Brembo are hard to beat, there High Carbon range are excellent and favoured by all the heavy track day users. I have Brembo Max HC's on my Clio.

Pads, the green stuff you have are considered uprated from OEM pads, but not that aggressive.

Mintex M1144 pads are very good for fast road/track use, M1155 are better if heavy track use. had some on my turbo Cinq with Punto GT set up. Just about to fit some to Emma's FTO with Mitsi GTO 4pot caliper, 325mm Nissan 350Z disc set up.

I don't know if ATE are part of Mintex, but Textar are, and all OEM Porsche brake pads are Textar and Porsche make the best brakes in the world on production cars.

Carbon Lorraine, a French company make some excellent pads though don't know if UT would be covered.

Ferrodo DS2500 are excellent all round pads.

Pagid RS4 pads are also excellent, last for ages, in fact as long as s set of disc's, I have Pagids to last as long as two sets of disc's. Very expensive, I have them on my Clio and they cost about £175 for front axle set.

Carbotech (check spelling) over in Wales make some very highly rated pads, again doubt they would have anything, very very highly rated in Mitsi EVO, Celica GT4 circles.

drat, no Brembo max for the uno turbo it seems......

 

[bozothenutter]

No ATE powerdisc either....cheap adresses for red dots, or EBC...or others...?

Don't know if they are probably not available for the UT (or possibly any Fiats) but Axxis ULT's really are the dogs danglies

Maxtorq do some http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=562_805&products_id=6604

Hmm ... I just used normal disc and pads. Not even sure of makes. IT seems to stop fine. On such a light car is there any need?

Obv it would be good if you have a powerful cinq .

exactly what i was going to say.
I did a (lllooonnnggg) sprint in my cinq when i was running a tuned punto75 engine.
On standard discs I got them to go blue but they never faded.

now running standard pgt disc and pads ive never had them blue, even now with a turbo forcing them. (they are vented discs unlike the centos)

then you need to remember that holes and groves reduce the actual breaking surface. also they help cool the disc even more(on a disc that "wont" over heat anyway)

I fitted Brava 257mm non vented and find them more than adequate.
