    Send me a pm if you're interested in selling your old calipers


    Your new brakes should work nicely...i've been getting some fade at the end of the 1320 and only slowing down from 125 with a fairly lengthy slow-down area (maybe 1/8mi). Brakes are all stock except for a DOT 4 or 5 high-temp fluid. They seemed OK at Mid-Ohio last yr though (more abrupt slowing down from similar speeds). I just need to hit them harder/earlier I think.

    Nice! I have the same setup and love it.

    For the street I am now using Porterfield R4-S pads and they are great.

    I used Hawk HPS front pads initially and they were the worst for dust that I have ever used. Never agian..
