The j55 lasts about 5 laps which is perfect for time trials since thats the max number of laps in a session.

I'm glad you corrected yourself on the J55 being adequate at RA. I am surprised the J55 even lasts 5 laps. Even turn 6 is hard on the brakes before you hit the back straight. And 10A is just brutal.

Turn 6 isn't bad, I'm approaching 110 on the short straight and 6 is a 60 - 70 mph turn. Turn 7 is a quick jab and turn in then on to the back straight. 10A for me is really the pucker turn. Bias spring, rebuilt calipers, new booster and master with xp12/10 combo was a night and day difference from 17 year old hardware with xp10/8.
I'm not in love with them, I'd love to be hitting the brakes at 100' for 10A. Until Spectator/Scary started posting about his cost effective big brakes it was a wish list item.

Spectator/Scary you have a PM!
