And I will buy one!

I ran Hawk pads on S197s for years. I went from HT-10s to DTC 70/60. I’ve also tried some others too. For me, the HT-10 wasn’t aggressive enough and the DT70 or 60 had too much bite. I experimented with different combinations for years.I tried the Raybestos ST43 on a friend’s recommendation...

I am running OEM pads on the rear with ST 43’s on the front. It works great for me. And yes, Porterfield sells these pads.

Cup2 definitely has more grip, and for me the NT01 sidewall could have been stiffer. I preferred the R888 over the NT01, but that’s personal preference. The Porsche spec Cup2s wear a lot better and will likely provide twice the life. I have a few friends running this tire and it will definitely...

Not in the market for OEM seats, but will be very interested to see what you replace them with. Happy modding.

ST43s last forever and have cold bite. I run about eight track days per season and will get two seasons out of a set. I was getting two days out of OEM pads. They’re also very streetable because they have cold bite. I cryo’d my OEM rotors, and with cryo they make no noise.I have never run...

Been considering one of these. I look forward to hearing your review.

Yes, sad it is. As a guy who will likely never experience more than grassroots budget racing, I have never been able to understand where all the money comes from in IMSA and, to a lesser extent, PWC. The WeatherTech series is off the hook expensive, and the sponsorship funding is nowhere near...

Great run. The stick axle tub Mustang in capable hands is so impressive. Any chance a GT4 is Phoenix’s future? Would love to see you guys out in PWC again, and even better, giving Dean some competition in IMSA?

Thanks for the reply. Curious why you say rear tires were key to this race? Sorry for so many questions....I’m always trying to learn. Thanks again.

Interesting....I wouldn’t buy another set of RS-4. Real surprised to hear your different experience with each of these.

Hard to say because I’ve only run the Bridgestones on the race car in an endurance race. Our strategy was to rotate in a new left front at Portland after each two hour stint and it worked well. Pretty sure it was a 9 hour race and pretty sure left rear was swapped after about six hours. This is...

So impressed by how aggressively you attack in qualifying and really work the throttle hard. I also love how you seem to subtly snap the wheel to counter oversteer before the rear ever has a chance to come around.I would love to push the limits to this extent but my checkbook keeps me...

Also, OEM brake fluid is DOT4 so no need to swap fluid to get out on track first couple times.

Yes, Bridgestones are definitely top performer in the extreme performance category and probably the least longevity. There is always a compromise. Not sure on sizing of new Dunlop Direzza z3, but that tire is just a bit slower than the Bridgestones and have more longevity. I’ve run these two...
