Its well known fat people need good brakes 

Now remind me, where did I tell you to stick your stands again...? Big head!   
 

Just you wait.  I was a 32" waist in uni

Up until my mid 20s, I was 28" and 9.5st.

I hate to say 'I told you so', but I have told the useless student several times over the years that all of a sudden the weight would go on 

It certainly will

I put it down to the inboard face being more exposed to damp and splashing under the car...  :-/.  The tin guard doesn't extend to the bottom of the disc, so some is exposed...  :-/

I don't buy that - the brakes will knock off the rust long before it can pit.

The rears don't suffer the same fate.


I wonder if its related to floating caliper, esp as it ages, and probably a bit of wear on the caliper pins, and the forces exerted on them  :-/

More likely I would have thought... On older FC setups you can see the caliper move slightly towards the front (in the "wrong" direction) when the brakes are applied

Both Cripple & the fat admin have met my Dad, he is what a good.. 1/4 stone heavier than me?

As I could not post anything positive on your thread, I thought I would take the pish 

I've only ever fitted standard GM (TC not OEM) to mine, they do the job. But then again its not got enough power to really use the brakes.

Doesn't mean you'll definitely be like it though
