hawks on ebisu west
1st gen body, with 2nd gen subrame, 13BT To4E + all the goodies.
Tein full tap front and rear, custom valved at the factory for 8Kg front springs, and 5Kg rears (remember the FB is a solid rear axle)
320 x 26 mm front rotors with Nissan 4 pots on a custom front hub adapter
RESpeed (Bwaits) rear BB kit using the FC rotor, with the FC calipers and a proportioning valve set at 30% reduction for the rear brakes
Sway bars are early 80's Mazda Speed
pads: initially hawk front Black/ rear HPS; then a swap to the hawk "blue's" on the front, and "Black's" on the rear black/HPplus setup could not contain heat at ebisu west on 70.061 second laps and started to fade after about 10 hot laps (14 total).
Blue/Black setup: initial bite/modulation on cold rotor/pad is dismal but after 2 warmup laps they where good to go. no fade after 10 laps, modulation is still good. No clue on how long they last as I went through a little over 5/8's a front pad every time I went (300 km to track with 60~70 laps and 300 Km return each time) necessitating new pads/rotors each time. final time was 68.034 seconds with the current setup about a 2 second increase directly attributed to the swap from the black/HPplus to the Blue/Black pads incidentally I think if I could drop the rear bias by about another 10% i think i could do better but the current Proportioning valve I use only goes to a min reduction of 30%
