Care to be more specific concerning "the most expensive type"? Surely

you don`t mean OEM from the dealer. Ceramic, maybe?

Choose Axxis or PBR brake pads... they are alot less dusty than OEM.

One can buy "KleenWheels" - disks with or without small vents that nest

inside the wheel and cover the brake caliper and rotor.

Reasonable drivers have had no problems with them causing brake fade

but, of course, some hot dog drivers here will malign the KleenWheels as

interfering with their brakes` performance.

I`ve used them for years, exactly for the reasons you cite, and never

had a problem - but then I drive reasonably - like most old farts.

Title: Fireball's Cool Designs of the Week!
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:41:40 +0000
Author: Fireball Tim

What is going on in this world? Ideas are merging, blending, taking shape, radically departing but staying the same. And that’s our world. Change.

Many people fear change. Maybe because it’s unknown. The question is, “What if you DID know the answer?” To everything? Would life be the same? Would you even be interested? Change is good. It keeps us on our toes, makes life adventurous, and forces us to have faith in things unseen.

Fortunately for you, you get to SEE this week’s designs. Some are wicked cool, some way not. But change is in the air, therefore, this week’s theme. Entitled?

CHANGE!…… DANGIT!

1. THE AUDI E- TRON ELECTRIC

Remember the Audi in “IRobot?” How could you not? It was in every DANG scene of the movie. Along with Will Smith’s beefy bod. (I had enough of that after the first scene… whatever) Well, Audi has taken their R8 and made it sweeter. Electric. And… Red. And red is good. Electric? Yea, that’s cool, but RED is cooler. Just think of RED things. Cherries. Megan Fox’s Lips. A stubbed toe. Ok,… maybe not the last one. But red is cool, dangit. (Check out the AutoDissection on the R8 here.)
