What's the name off the coating? Can you buy it to paste on yourself?xjay1337 wrote:The coating is pretty durable. I have melted it during trackdays so if you do that type of driving you can eventually end up with rusty bits on your disc/bell but still worthwhile IMO.
I would be careful with the rears, don't leave the handbrake on until the brakes are properly sorted or are fully cooled.. Due to bias rears are not used much so will take a bit of time.
When we fitted my 310mm rears after an aggressive bedding in procedure (fitted new PMU pads and discs up front as well) the car was parked handbrake up.
When I went to leave the workshop 20 minutes later both rear wheels were locked and while we were able to salvage the discs, the pads were a write-off.... the coating was obviously hot and had melted into the pad!

Mtec issued a full refund for the discs and also covered the cost of new pads, their customer service was brilliant. Hence why I keep using them.
