$10 Chinese cast spacers not on my cars. I’ll pay $70 all day long for MW billet spacers made from the same material as their rotor hats.

That said, combination of my 4” bs Delta wheels with 1/4” spacers and Hoosier BR3 works on the track and in the trailer.

I agree there, I have seen the cast spacers split and come a part

JR, you said you have the smaller rotor but have said you use the TBM pad. Do you have to modify it all?

We have these threads on brakes and pads lately. It looks like Mike Holcomb lost his brakes went off the end at 180 tonight in San Antonio. Thankfully he is OK. I was considering getting rid of my handbrake for a hot minute. This re-affirms my decision to keep it.

We make chit loads of passes with average bracket cars and have never split a spacer. THOUSANDS of runs. They put these same wheel spacers on circle track cars that have Massive side loads...they sell many of them without issue.

The smaller rotor makes more heat...but work well too...just our experiences over many years of use and many more passes than most.

If your not at peace with a cheap spacer...MW sells them for a reason eh?

So if you were in my shoes, already have Deltas and buying new M/W brakes. Would you buy the standard kit and run the 1/4 spacer or go with the smaller kit. In my mind bigger is always better....

The 3/8" smaller rotors do not make more heat.

Get the facts and the truth from Mark Williams about their products.

Oh and my lunch yesterday was $23 and my Hoosier tires have never shook.

Tony certainly ain't going to follow your advice about this issue but he will mine. :
