Payback is ready to be loaded up on the trailer. I just need to wipe her down. I bought new brake pads with different compounds front and back. Unfortunately I have to shim every caliper differently to fit these pads and I simply didn't have enough shims after installing the front pads. Dad and I went out to fill her up with gas and bed the new front pads. The brakes were as good befor bedding as the old pads were bedded! They are definitely a huge step in the right direction. I can't wait to get the rears on and get rid of these crummy Wilwood pads. I'll have more front brake come Saturday. I wish the back pads were on but that will give me something to look forward to next race.
Hey Todd, Im curious who's brake pads/compound you switched to. Is the braking performance good when cold? You have wilwood 6 pot superlites up front and 4s in the back- correct?
He switched to Carbotech XP10's up front and will be running there AX6's in the rear. Carbotech is known for having agressive pads that are easy on rotors.
I have not run a set of the XP10's, but I am runnng the AX6's on all corners. That is their autocross pad. I use it as my street pad as well. A little dusty and get the smallest amount of squeal on light stops. Great cold bite pad, has a .52 CF cold. My car has never stopped better.
I am looking for Todd to give me feedback on the XP10's as that is a track pad...that he is driving on the street.
Hey Guys, I'm over here at DFresh's(Doug's) after a day of driving school at El Toro. The car has some serious bite up front now with virtually no heat. I did run around this morning looking for an ATM and they are pretty noisy. Not squeaky but grindy. Today went great with a mix or acceleration to stopping in a box, apex training, and a really cool road course. Tomorrow is going to be a blast.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to your review of the driving school and what your next plans are for the car after the shake down.
Remember....smooth is fast.
