[QUOTE="REX-RACER, post: 2048875, member: 14222"] I'm gonna run the Ecsta MX's also for street/track duty this summer. I asked a similar question to this over in the Road Race forum and one of the regulars over there specifically told me to not to start off w/ really sticky tires because they would hinder you from learning good car control and where the limits are on your car. Also apparently super sticky tires don't warn you before breaking away rather suddenly where as lower gread tires squeal a bit and understear before letting go so you learn where the limit is better and have more time to react whne you're new. Also, even though there is a great deal of debate on this, I'd stay away from cross-drilled rotors as they can crack around the holes and a few people have seen them fail altogether. Hawkes pads are supposed to be the shiznit though and braided steel brake lines keep your break lines from expanding under hard breaking and making your break pedal "mushy" fealing. Good luck! I'm hoping to do some open track stuff myself this year too! [/QUOTE]
