Default Re: Brake Cooling - Advice?

lbszr,

Thanks for your input as always. If you ever head south for an event let me know and maybe I can drive up and meet you.

Yes, the brakes felt good on the 1st lap. I'm sure they're just some over the counter pads from the local parts store.

That's good to hear about the hawk pads, I'll have to check those out before ordering the carbotechs. Does the dust from those come off okay, or is it corrosive?

When I purchased my car I was told the DRM spring had already been installed, so should be good there.

BTW, what rotors are you running? I noticed mine have developed some grooves. Not sure if I can get away with having them turned, or if I'll need a new set. It'd be cool to get some fancy rotors with aluminum hats, but I don't want a drilled rotor for fear of cracking, and don't want to pay the price . Wondering if my best bet would just be a new set of Napa premiums.

Cooling ducts look good. That's scary about the hubs, had no idea they only lasted a few events, I'll start checking mine! Are you running r-comps or street tires?
