Title: performance brake pads?
Post by: fordguy545 on May 03, 2009, 10:40:19 PM
I figure after todays autox, I think its time to up the braking power.  I am still running the stock 88 turbocoupe brakes and can find front pads, but havent found any rears yet.  Does anybody make them?  the autox I went to gave roughly 50' to get stopped from 45-50 mph after the lights, and everybody was going through the end cones because they werent dnf'ing anybody, mainly because they left a car sized opening that everybody was going through, except, I think I won the prize for going through the farthest:punchballs:  I have 245/50/15 hoosier r compounds, but am considering upgrading those to 275/40/17's all the way around

I found the fronts in 3 different compounds on EBCbrakes, but at the school I went to yesterday, they said you want more rear brake than front, and I think I already have too much in front using just advance auto semi metallic pads
