Very good suggestion. Didn't know those existed. Makes sense given the signs of excessive heat on the back of the pads. Thank you.You're correct, it's essentially stock. I pulled the back seats, added a half-cage, lighter wheels (Apex)... (see full post)
This was my though as well. They have got HOT. I am also running RSL29's on a stock engine 17GT. The difference being i opted to upgrade the brakes to GT350 calipers and rotors. I was told by my local guys that it was required for the car to...
Here is my thoughts on what I have seen with Pagid 29’s with GiroDisc rotors. I have run them on my 2017 GT350R since 2018 with & without air deflectors, running four- three day events a year in advance group. I've had one set end up looking...
Here’s a picture. I guess I’d call that a duct from the front grill, but it stops right there so who knows how much air makes it to the brakes. It came from the factory that way. (see full post)
The all or nothing debate needs to be put to rest. It's either a street car or a race car. If you crash hard enough in anything life risk is high.Rollover incidents are statically rare compared to impacts.You will always be safer on track...
I appreciate the input. I’m definitely not trail braking yet. I’m in my third season of HPDE days and have a lot to learn. I’m braking as you described. I get hard on the brakes coming up to the turn-in and just maintain throttle through the... (see full post)
What I'm seeing is pads that have been run very hot. RSL29's are exceptional race pads so they can take it, but their condition is a result of going in deep and getting hard on the brakes late. Braking that way generates a huge amount of heat...
Glazed seems to make sense. I considered a higher temp pad but took the advice of a few fellow track friends that had good experiences with the 29s - but they’re not driving 3,900 lb cars. I’ve also been braking later and harder because the grip... (see full post)
If they were mine I would scrape the loose paint off where the pistons touch and put them back in. If they are developing any taper I'd install them with the thicker side on the bottom.
Looking for opinions on how my Pagid 29’s are wearing on my Mach 1. I’ve been using stock pads until now, and they’ve held up surprisingly well. I bedded in the new pads on the old rotors, then decided I needed new rotors after a few track days...
