Not with carbonetic. I have used these first hand. These are definitely a smooth lock transition. Very stable.

I can get you 1.5 way if you want. LMK

GiroDisc is simply waiting for some raw material to come in. Due to all the weather things are delayed up there in Washington. Machines are ready. Rotors should be popping out in ready to ship condition next week. I will post up pics of the process once I get them.

I will have 3 extra sets BTW.

Any news, photos (Giorgio please abstain you ), I'm just driving crazy.
If this wait doesn't stop I need to compensate with a set of whiteline klc045 and klc046 endlinks plus a front struts bar in the meantime.

This was yesterday:

girodisc martin: material just arrived for the hats so they are being programmed. Rotors are supposed to get here from the foundry on Friday or Monday. The chips will fly next week and I'll have some good stuff for you. Thanks for your patience.





Some delays, and they do a lot for how small they are. We are getting close boys!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Awesome news!
At least for the european crowd the delay was not a real issue, sweden and luxembourg are extremely... icy and I can't drive at the moment so we were lucky we paid them with a weaker dollar back in the day!

This isn't anything against you Adam since we know you don't have control over manufacturing, but...

So on 1/11, they reported that the cutting process was about to begin. Now, almost a month later they just reported getting some materials and are about to begin manufacturing. Basically, there was no progress for a month.

I just hope they'll provide spare parts (i.e. rotors) quickly/immediately in the future because if not actually this will be a not so good deal.
I hope they planned at least a 5 years support for spares.
Sorry but presently some doubt is raising...

Bye
