But but but... less braking equals higher lap times right? I get that some people drag the brake, I don't think I do, but when I get on them I try and use every bit of them. Last time at the track the rear carpet came unglued and flopped forward, lol.

I figure HPS for more of an street/auto-x pad, but it all depends on the rotor size vs car weight I suppose.


Geeze, I missed both your posts somehow.

Yea, ah, faster lap times.

I run the HPS cause I don't have to change them. I wouldn't run them if I was serious about running the '92. But I can still pass the C5's & 6's.

You're absolutely right about the blue's. I run both the Hawk Black and the Blue on the Formula Ford. The Blacks come in quicker but don't have quite the grip. If you change to Blues, you have to move your brake points to get them warmed up, i.e. if you were braking just past the 2 marker, you have to hit the blues between the 3 and 2. Or on after a long straight, drag them slightly with left foot braking.

The StopTech stuff is about the best I've seen. I keep 2 logbooks on each car, one for track maps, setup and lap times. One logbook for mechanical. the StopTech stuff is copied and in that manual.

Unless you buy a racecar with a proven brake setup, you have to go thru the things you've been doing for the last couple years. You have to find the setup that works for your car and (more important), your driving style - takes a lot of time.
