Wow. OK.

Marty: I'll look it up, but I doubt it.

Nathan: Guilty as charged.

Spratte: Not yet :( Sorry. When I do, you'll be #1 on the list to call. Suck it up and buy some R-comps for track, and PR1 is the ticket!

Kent: No need. In addition to my omnipresence, I am also omniscient. I don't have the SVT Focus pad.

Vincent: Good to know. What pads are you running on the street? I've been running CR6 on the street and can attest you can swap those back and forth with PR1 on the same rotor too.

Do people here not know about the world famous Altima brake rotor discussion? Really? It is one of the single best intarweb beatdowns in the history of Al Gore's little world wide web.

You're welcome

I've got lots of time at work, but not that much time :D I did find a nice little nugget from Matt that I'd like to hang on to (I'm sure it's been used before, but oh well)... see sig :D

Ah...Good times. That thread is infamous.

Marty: No go on the Altima. Sorry. I don't think you'd want CR6 on that anyway for just street use. That stuff is pretty dusty and noisy compared to the usual OE offerings.

Congratulations Matt and happy to announce BHP is the new official
brake suppler for THSCC.

Scirocco brakes are the best I had on the car to date.


Be sure to get your BHP and Track Program Decals when you sign
in at Registration

I have BHP's on my Camaro. I checked the pads before loading the car on Saturday. After a race weekend at Summit to end 2007 and a full weekend at VIR, I am about 1/2 through the pads. I fully expect to get Friday's test session and Saturday's race out of them.

Most importantly, the BHP pads stop the Camaro without fade. That is comforting feeling coming into turn 1 or turn 14 at 130 mph in a 3220 lb car with stock braking system :D

Will have RX-8. Maybe even before the season is over.

Seriously though, a couple RX-8 Grand-Am teams will be testing for us in the next few weeks. After that, we'll make them. Might be a few months though.

I trust you've read Mark O'Dell's Grand Am diary?
