"THE
BIG BRAKE KIT from the BIG BRAKE COMPANY".
Media
Release
WEDNESDAY,
FEBRUARY 8 2006:
After many
years of testing and evaluation, RDA Rotors & EBC Brakes
in association with Peter Brock, are pleased to announce the release
of Brake upgrade kits for a range of Vehicles found on Australian roads.
"THE BIG BRAKE KIT from the BIG BRAKE COMPANY".
With the evolution of RDA Rotors into brake pad development and the take
over of performance based EBC brakes, the natural direction was to strive
for increased brake performance across the range of brake componentry
for all vehicles found on Australian roads.
With RDA-EBC's large Motorsport involvement with the likes of:- Aussie
race cars/ Commodore Cup/ The Australian Saloon cars and various targa
and rally competitors, we were able to draw on a lot of harsh environment
testing, that is not available on the road.
As Peter Brock had used EBC Brakes for many years, discussions regarding
the lack of true brake performance and the related safety issues of increased
performance that cars were delivering, in speed and cornering capabilities,
little had been done about increasing the performance of a car's braking
system.
Whilst EBC could improve braking performance with the use of Kevlar and
other high quality brake pad materials and RDA Rotors could enhance the
braking performance of a standard brake disc, the other components that
work together very closely, were fitted by manufacturers as they performed
sufficiently for its intended purpose and fitted the manufacturers budget.
Working closely
with Peter Brock on improved brake performance, the need to provide increased
safety through better braking, had to cross all budgets and not be the
exclusive domain of those with high disposable incomes.
It also had to be something that was available as a direct fitment, for
new and more importantly used cars, already on our roads.
In respect of this we are launching three different levels of brake upgrade
kits to suit all budgets.
Level 1 is a performance enhancement upgrade kit.
Level 2 is a performance upgrade kit.
Level 3 is an extreme performance upgrade kit.
All of these meet with Peter's exacting desire and requirements to deliver
better braking, not only in enhanced stopping performance, but also being
more reliable and consistent during repeated braking.

Independent
testing has shown that the product developed has met or exceeded the necessary
Australian Design Rule (ADR) for automotive braking systems (ADR31/00).
In fact the testing is the first done on a public road in Australia and
where better to have this done than on Mount Panorama at Bathurst- a road
well known By Peter Brock!
