    I ran the Texas Targa this year and it was a great time. Lots of driving sessions to split with a co-driver if you have one. We made it on a fresh set of RE71RZs with no problem. 4 tracks, 3-4 sessions at each one, and about 1200mi of transit...

    Looking for suggestions on track alignment with 100% stock suspension on my S650 GT PP. I am getting all kinda of answers on Google. What I understand is you have to keep rear lower than the front to prevent oversteer? And according to searches I...

    You will feel quick, sharp bumps more, but they settle much faster, so they're kind of less disturbing than when soft. Bigger, slow bumps move the stock front end quite a bit (think road undulations, big curbs, crests, compressions, etc.). With...

    what kind of temps are you guys seeing on the formation lap across the gearbox, oil, and water? I always struggle to get the gear box hot...takes a good bit longer than the engine. (see full post)

    Do you have any brake cooling modifications like the scoops or deflectors some companies offer?I have ran Pagid RST3 up front with the RSL29 in the rear. Then I went to GLOC R12 in the rear and fell in like with that combo. No issues there. (see full post)
  • byronj
    Combining different pads / brands is not a bad idea. Its what your looking for in your braking. Ive seen people run RSL29 in front and stock in rear. They like it and it works for them. I was in a bind and ran out out Padgid fronts and had to... (see full post)

    Oil temp of 130 F is fine to begin pushing. The warm up lap of a race or TT session is fine, keep revs below 5500 until warm. You will find it difficult to get the oil hotter through idling or even normal driving. Now the oil gains the most heat...
  • GAR944
    Any reason you wouldn't just go RSL29 all round. They just work all the time every time for me. Actually except in the wet where they may have too much bite for a pure road tyre. On track with 200TW can't fault them. (see full post)
  • honeybadger
    Realized I didnt answer your question. From what I've read, the RSL29 pad is a less aggressive pad than the Ferrodos. Personally, I like running the same compound (or characteristics) on front and rear.The more important consideration is if... (see full post)

    I've been using the DS1.11 in my car and haven't been impressed. they're fine, but the Cobalts are better. I liked the Cobalt XR1s. I ran XR1 in the rear as well to help with turn in a bit. Favorite pads by far.The DS1.11s are probably fine... (see full post)
