Comparison chart of the performance difference with/without a heat treatment
| non-heat treated disc | heat treated disc | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Crack resistance | When a one-make series Honda DC5 Integra is driven at 2min 10sec/lap on the Motegi race circuit | Hairline cracks occur on the braking surface after 1 hour of use. | Hairline cracks occur on the braking surface after 2 hours of use. |
| When an street legal Honda DC5 Integra is driven at 2min 20sec/lap on Motegi race circuit | Hairline cracks occur on the braking surface after 2 hours of use. | Hairline cracks occur on the braking surface after 5 hours of use. | |
| Judder resistance | When a one-make series Honda DC5 Integra is driven at 2min 10sec/lap on the Motegi race circuit | Minor juddering (vibrations) occur after 1 hours of use. | Minor juddering (vibrations) occur after 2 hours of use. |
| When an street legal Honda DC5 Integra is driven at 2min 20sec/lap on Motegi race circuit | Minor juddering (vibrations) occur after 2 hours of use. | No juddering (vibrations) occur after 4 hours of use. |
- The comparison test above was done using a non-heat treated disc by another manufacturer and our heat treated HD disc. The R01 brake pads were used for both tests.
- All of the testing above was done on the Twin Ring Motegi race circuit.
- The data values above can vary depending on the conditions (weather, pads used, vehicle set-up, driver, lap time).
- The data values should only be used as a reference to better understand the performance differences.
