Gotta go Faster
Good stuff thanks. The closest I would ever get to racing with my car will be TT. It will be a street/HPDE car so everything will be set up around that. My goal for the build is capable of backroad touring and then going and pounding laps (typically inter/adv group). I will be looking for the magic crossover brake pad that everyone knows doesn't exist. Never ran G-locs but I have used carbotechs and the max I would expect for this car would be XP10. In my experience XP12s and above are just not street able. Considering I will be adding ducting, and considering your other comments, I have two questions.
1) How was the brake feel with the PP 6 piston setup? Did it require adjustment in your driving style, or did it interfere with heel/toe?
2) Will the 6 pot PP setup give me the ability to run a step less aggressive on pads while having the same thermal capacity?
1) In my case never had any problems with the pp6 setup. No effect on heal/tow etc.
2) I have driven some friends cars with street pads and the PP 15 setup, was not very fond of it to be honest. The longer travel in the PP 15 begs for a more aggressive pad. If you are not going to go +9/10's at the track or over 130mph, I would have been happy with my old brembo 14" setup. Lighter and cheaper.
Then again I drive my race pads on the road all the time and usually drive to events. especially with Pagid RSL 29 pads, those work from cold and they are a Le mans favorite. Once you try race pads its hard to go back......
