Message: <blockquote data-quote="Izso" data-source="post: 1064610688" data-attributes="member: 2429">Air ducts to the brakes is a good idea! Usually evident in sports cars but some cool the disc. Personally I think it should cool the caliper rather than the disc but that's just my POV.Brake pads still do "produce" gases, when pads are heated beyond their operating temperature the bonding agents of the pads start to "evaporate" which produces a layer of "gas" between the pad and disc. It's just a matter of the quality of the bonding agent and the temperature resistance of the brake material. I doubt they still use asbestos in this day and age. But like you said - the best way to avoid brake fade is to get better pads. High temp pads however probably wouldn't be good daily pads. Last time I tried high temp I couldn't brake when it was cold. zero brakes when cold. That was insanely scary.And you're right about the cross drill cracking. You've probably seen your fair share of cracked discs. I guess it depends on application. If you're driving a humble 1.5L Wira you'll never see cracks if the discs were cast molded from the factory with drilled holes? I only have a peeve with those DIYers who go and drill their own holes in their solid rotors. If it wasn't designed for that purpose why do people do it? Anyway, I didn't say the holes suck in air la. I said they help dissipate those gases mah.They also have top notch prices</blockquote>

Hi guys,

Anyone know where I can get reasonable aircon parts?

I'm currently looking for Proton 1.6/Lancer :

1) Expansion Valve (located with the cooling coil)
2) Aircon filter.

Thanks!
