So after reading every thread already posted, in need of more opinion and clarification. I use the boss almost exclusively on track, and this winter I'm upgrading suspension/brakes/aero. I've been running the OE Brembos with hawk HP+ and blowfish brake cooling ducts, motul dot4. 11 events this season and I found the performance and wear very satisfactory. Squeaky on the street, but not annoying. I drive to track, and don't switch pads. Sticking with DOT approved rubber, but going with smaller diameter fatter stickier tires on lighter that OE wheels next season. Prob BFG, nitto or toyo on Enkeis or Racing Dynamics. Cortex or Griggs going in this winter too.
Questions:
Rotors: I'm leaning towards a lighter OE-sized two piece rotor to keep unsprung weight down with the larger rubber. Thinking girodisc or Baer eradispeed, but considering sticking with 1-piece to keep cost down over time, like DBA, centric, or just replacement brembo slotted. I used to subscribe to the bigger is better, but now I find the BBKs less and less appealing. Plus I don't think 15" rotors off the GT500 would fit under the 18s I'm considering... Thoughts?
Abs module: which is the correct race module for our car? There seems to be a few out there, and I'm hoping that one is a direct fit, not requiring an AIM or high expense adapter to make it work. Any expert advice? Who has made the change recently? I know ford discontinued the C module, now offers BA, CA, and a couple others that all look similar.
Pads: for a car driven sometimes 500mi to an event how aggressive can I go with pads? I'll probably stick with hawk, but I'm confused by all the different kinds. blue, HT-10, DTC? I used HP+ with good success, but can go a bit more aggressive I think. Would hope for decent wear, hopefully get thru another season on no more than 2 sets of pads.
Titanium backing plates: where to buy? Direct fitment?
Thx!
