Hope that wasn't me shaking too bad. I did my best but Val was a monster w/ that car that day. :twisted:

Garry · **Posted:** Mon Sep 27, 2004 4:40 pm

He was? Well, take a ride with Roy next time :lol:

Firechicken · **Posted:** Mon Sep 27, 2004 5:36 pm

John, thanks again for taking that while I was driving!!

Garry, I'm still waiting for a ride in Roy's Hot rod!!!!!!!!

Next time I go I hope to be chasing down Roy with some of that new found stopping power. It sucked having to let off so soon :cry:

Val I think you have too much fun in yours to want a ride in my POS

Roy,
I do have a blast in mine, I can't deny it :ok:

I still want a ride in your Hot Rod (POS???? DON'T THINK SO!!!!!)!!

Wow- you really did let off early! :shock:

I thought that kit was a good one. I understand though, it's better to be safe than to end up in a wall!

Nice vid, and I hope your brakes make a big difference.

Jack
That is still his old setup on there , Plus the first time on a unfamiliar course.

Firechicken · **Posted:** Tue Sep 28, 2004 8:21 am

Your right Jack, I let off REAL early, it was the fist lap at full throttle and was trying to guage where to brake at. The pads are HPS which are designed for daily driving and auto-x. Road courses eat them up QUICK!! I did notice that I didn't over heat them which means that I should of gone alittle deeper in the corners. I was playing it safe (pads are REALLY WORN!!!), didn't want any concrete racing stripes.......yes I was being a wuss :lol:

Should get the 3in wheel studs in this week so the big kit will hopefully go on before Bitburg!!!

I know excuses ....excuses....

I used to have HPS pads to, lasted almost 5000 miles (~500 track mile mostly N'ring) Lots of Dust and noise on the street and don't hold up on the track. The idea of a pad that works great on the street and track just doesn't work

Firechicken · **Posted:** Thu Sep 30, 2004 9:57 am

Lancer033, your exactly right!!! The HPS is great on the street but doesn't last on the track. The HP+ is supposed to be better for track days. Changing out at the track would really be the only solution to having a pads that lasted at the track.

And then there is RS44 compound. About the best all around pad I've tested to date. Developed by Porsche Made By Pagid

Unfortunately I have no input about them yet except that I took your advice Roy and got them for my new set up. The wait is killing me...hopefully I'll get them on soon!!!!

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Fri Oct 01, 2004 6:28 am

Where can one get those pads, Roy?

Roy · **Posted:** Fri Oct 01, 2004 7:10 am

Jack I haven't seen them made nor heard of any one selling them for the Fbody caliper. But don't let that be Gospel though.

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Fri Oct 01, 2004 7:25 am

Oh well, thanks anyway.

Firechicken · **Posted:** Fri Oct 01, 2004 8:16 am

You can get the Hawk HT-10s which is a "race pad" for the F-body calipers, but if your going to drive it everyday I'd go with the Hawk HP+. That was going to be my next pad until I made that big purchase that is STILL sitting in my basement :cry:

My next pads will be HP+, too.
