He also nailed it when he said, whatever makes you the most comfortable. Debating about the best brake set up is like arguing over your favorite beer or politics.

It's not called arguing -- it's called a forum where people discuss various aspects of their cars (on this forum) and sometimes people even learn stuff just by reading or participating in these discussions.

People learn lots of stuff with an exchange of opinions... Nobody has said (that I've read anyway) "you're an idiot because you don't do "X" my way"....

I drove 12 hours today and am a bit "rummy".....



Just wanted folks to know the reason I chimed in on Cris's thread in the first place is because I think LOTS of people have spent a small fortune on the biggest baddest brakes that money can buy -- and are in a similar position of not really liking the performance... but are afraid to admit it or post it up. Thus a good discussion about the various possible fixes --- whether it's power or pad - or ratio or bore size --- I thought was a good topic.

Re-read this post and it sounds MEAN --- and that wasn't my intent. I'm too rummy to post a good thought.. :>)

Excuse me...

Stielow runs power, Hobaugh runs manual. They have both won the Optima Challenge.

I ran carbotech's on the street. Xp10 and AX6 I believe. They moaned and squealed like a pig. They were great on the road course, not so much everywhere else. I found the Hawk HP Plus to be the best all around pad giving up some performance on the road course. The stock wildwood pads were terrible. Hobaugh said my brakes were great. I'd still put power brakes similar to my Vette on another car if it was to be driven on a public road or autocrossed.

Next year you'll probably be arguing for a transmission like the 'Vette has for public roads or autocross.
