[QUOTE="BenD, post: 1653800, member: 13082"] [b]Ah! the braking problem[/b] I too experienced a weakness in that department, especially against the Ferrari's, Porsche's, M3's and Vipers. My pads simply started to fail. The binding material started to fail and I lost friction, but not peddle pressure. That's referred to as "Outgassing." The answer to the brake dilemma is 6 Piston Baer's with drilled and slotted rotors on the front and 4 piston drilled and slotted rotors on the rear. Very importnat too is racing pads front and rear. Baer offers "Pre-burnished" pads. That's one of the "Buzz words" that tells you that they are racing pads. They have to stand 1400 degrees F. Duct cooling to the fronts are another mod that I'm going to do for next season. I have the power to pass them on the straights, but they can go harder and deeper in the corners....next season will be a very different STORY. Tires, tires, tires, don't skimp here like I did. There is only one tire and only one for serious Road racing. Hoosier R3..will literally jerk the head off your shoulders in cornering. [/QUOTE]
