[sarcasm] Well, those brakes would've sounded good. [/sarcasm] :o

Seriously though, what's the story behind this one?

Apparently from an ISUZU LDV.  Customer walked into our local spares shop carrying this.  He said there's something wrong with his brakes.  It really made my day.

That is insane. It's not often you would see something like that!

I would of thought the piston(s) in the caliper would pop out and youd loose hydraulic pressure before that situation were possible  ::)

that disk must be about 5mm thick, none the less, perhaps he could sell them as performance, slotted rotors now  8)

Good point, and presumably the pads were onto the metal as well.
