Well, I guess it was only a matter of time. I have finally bitten the bullet
and bought a set of Raybestos track pads for my daily driver.
The final straw was this past week when I drove my track Supra for the
entire week while waiting for an AFM replacement off of eBay for the DD.
After getting thoroughly spoiled by my track car's power, rev-ability,
handling, and crisp braking, I drove the freshly repaired DD to work and
felt like I was driving a cement truck. It felt simply dangerous (even with
the pads being Porterfield R4S's)! I couldn't believe how much pedal effort
was required for a comparatively longer stopping distance. Of course the
track car will get the new, fresh set and the hand-me-downs to the DD, but
no more street pad/x-drilled rotor crap for me!!!!
Stopping with the best of 'em in FL,
Ken
