Stand by on the call...


Did you end up needing longer wheel studs? Just curious as I'm trying to avoid spacers as well and wanted to make sure everything stays relatively the same as far as length is concerned.

I did, bought them just need to install them. I've also got a set of 5mm hubcentric spacers as well. I'm not so sure you'll need them though. I have a suspicion that my BBS's will actually fit. Still waiting to get the 'vert out to actually test them out. Either way though I'm installing the longer wheel studs.

The other option would be to run a different caliper. I believe the Superlite Narrows would fit my Works without interferance but I have yet to did up thier spec sheets and verify that.

What wheels/offsets are you running? I think the thing to do would be to get the hat and rotor and install them, bolt the wheel up and then make your choice in caliper....

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!

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.

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?

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.
