I don t get it

if you look at the braking system of an renault clio cup car it has a plain disc 280 mm 1 pot brakes they use ds3000 and have sticky slicks on the car and weigh 900 kg

these discs wear out fast but they DON'T shudder judder warp etc.

i drive 3 laps with an evo or subaru and the steering wheel shakes like a windscreen wiper with the standard system.

ok i know these cars weigh more but i don t drive on slicks

please explain.

probably due to the amount of pressure the rear brakes use i.e on a clio not a lot or else you'll be locking the wheels and spinning off the track. and the rather large amounts of pressure the scoobs use to stop the thing when you're doing nigh on 140 mph
