Default RS4 3 SS Brake upgrade question

Does anyone make an aluminum disc for our cars like Robinson should?I didn't read carfully and ordered the one they make for the other cars......thought it looked different,haha.If nobody makes one,I still have the wrong one and I can probably modify it.

I got a fiber disc. Genuine HPI part. Does a much better job than the plastic disc.

Fibre disk is awesome...

Also I bought spare brake pads and sanded the sides that would contact the rotor...awesome stopping power...

You can also mod the brake set up by spring loading it so that it doesnt bind when you really dont want it to Worst part is the fade with the plastic rotor...

There is virtually no fade with the fiber rotor and i've used one in races...maybe 2 events...same rotor...no wear. I also have a spare which is up for sale with my car...

go see the buy/sell section if you are interested in a $375.00 Type SS with everything...seller handle = gsferrari...

Every time I go to my LHS I look at those fancy Hot Bodies brake kits, and every time I leave the store without it because I can't imagine needing any more than the HPI fiber disk, and CERTAINLY not for the price.
