  • Damm those brakes are getting HOT.....I wonder how bad they have to get before you experience any fade?

  • Depends on the pads. The dtc-70's hang in there, but wear out at an amazing rate. The PFC97's just gave up and stopped stopping the car.

  • That is amazing video! How do you like those Stoptech brakes? Which size rotor are you running? I'm currently using Baer GT+ 332mm and Porterfield R-4S pads. I've been thinking about moving to the Stoptech setup and would love to hear what you think about it.

  • stoptechs are pretty good. I'm getting horrid pad life - 9 HPDe sessions from a set of dtc-70's.

    But this isn't the place to discuss it ;) Please see my "Hawk HT-10 race pads" thread in the suspension/brakes section over at ls1gtodotcom.

  • 9 DE sessions?!?

    My Portefields r-4's last 20 hours!

  • Wow, that's a tasty video. I have almost the same setup on my 350z. Stoptech 332mm up front, 328mm out back. 275/40r18 R888s at all 4 corners. I need to do some ductwork on them to get a little more air to the rotors though -- and watching this made me think it may be a little more urgent than I first thought.

    Great vid!
