They're 12.76 x 1.18 in the front, and 12.68 x .87 in the rear, I may shell out for a set of Stoptech 2pc's for less weight, but I'm really satisfied with what i have now. First set of brake pads are almost done!

TitaniumTT 05-24-2011 04:43 PM

Nice.... what pads?

Hawk HP+, I really enjoy them for some reason. They have a pretty hard initial bite that takes some getting used to, but after that - they're wonderful!

They dust like mad though.

I think I want to try some Endless MX12 or Porterfield R4-S, but the Hawks have been so cheap and so good that I might just buy them again.

TitaniumTT 05-26-2011 07:26 AM

I was torn between the XP8's and the HP+'s, cost believe it or not almost swayed me to the Hawks than I looked at the cost of everything else, slapped myself in the face, shook my head and decided to try the Carbotechs. After talking to Glenn, and now hearing about your hard initial bite, I'm looking forward to the CT's. Hard initial bite and dust are something that I'm trying to avoid. The wilwood BP20's that are on there now can lock up pretty easy and there isn't much modulation... modulation is something that I'm trying to get the most of.

Are you running an adjustable prop valve?

PhillipM 05-26-2011 05:24 PM

The XP8's are so far above BP20's in terms of outright power, bite, modulation, fade resistance and wear it's unreal.
Wilwood really need to bring some newer compounds to the table.

I've heard this about thier pads from a few different people now but I hardly ever believe anything unless I experience it for myself.... I'm looking forward to the CT's.... and I'll hopefully be at an auto-x next Sunday... then a few weeks until LimeRock.

:smilielol5: I'll get you a few in the next couple days.... I spent about 13 hrs yesterday working on the Landi..... le sigh..... next day off is going to be a rotary day damnitalltohellmotherfucker!

I'm running the oem prop valve, which has been working excellent so far! We calculated that bias would shift to the rear 3%, which was acceptable since FC's were biased more than needed to the front anyway :)

The Carbotechs are really great pads, they're also on my to-try list. Glenn got me interested in them too :) Where's the best place to buy them?

And yeah, I remember taking my car out to an auto-x with the hp+ for the first time... tiresmoke everywhere, I was lucky not to get any flat spots on the tires! Now I'm used to them, especially with even stickier tires hehe

Yeah.... WAY too much front bias. I understand the reason for it, but damn it you're giving up a braking distance..... do want more rear braking powa, which is why I did XP's on both axles

From the research I did, they're price fixed. I bought them direct from CT
