Even Bigger Brakes
 

I'm moving up to V2 6pot calipers at the end of the month. V1s are more then enough currently but with the 441ci I'm going to be hauling some major ass. (Maybe 160 into t1 at Roebling?)

5 bucks says my stocker will still win at the dragstrip. LOL!

Lol

0-100-0?

All 4 corners? What pads?

I've been running CTS-v1 calipers on all corners with HP+ pads. I have 0 fade issues now vs stock that was 2hot laps, 3 cooldown; but I'm only hitting ~143mph into turn one at Roebling. I haven't ran full course at CMP since I put on the rears; but I'm confident they would hold up into 11 and 1.

I've considered going to V2 calipers on my car(i've got the Camaro/V1 4-pot brembos stock). I had some fade coming down Ceasars Head downhill with Hawk Ceramic pads... that was only doing 80/100-45ish for a mile or two repeatedly... I was surprised i didnt cook the fluid like i did in the cobalt on stock pads.

You haven't switched to ATE Super Blue yet? And for your weight of a car I'd think HPS would be better than ceramics.. Or you could get some Carbotech AX-6 pads, albeit they dust a little more and have a faint squeal.

I put these on and they were flat out dangerous. And they didn't generate less dust either. http://www.hawkpadsdirect.com/Hawk-C....570.1022r.htm

Who cares about stopping!

People who rear-end other cars in traffic, in their race cars, probably. lol

fixed

Some real pads will help. HPS.

whats funny is the ceramics squeal already and dust WAY more than I expected they would... well i'm assuming they are still ceramics based off of what the posts i found by the previous owner say. I was considering switching to HP+ pads if i made the switch. Cobalt had Ferrodo 2500's and from what i saw that was slightly more aggressive than an HP+ and i liked how they did once i switched to blue.

GM puts pretty nasty pads in the stock brembos from the factory. Cobalt came with Ferodo 2500's and would eat a set of rotors per set of pads.

I hope to god what i have arent ceramics, they puke dust

I wouldn't recommend HP+ for street use.

I hate to say it, but I don't think those are ceramics.. Go pull one off and look lol

If you have heard my squeaky brakes at SSS that's HP+ noise.

I kinda hope they are ceramics... then again They took some nasty abuse on that mountain run.. The WRX in front of me(Carl Brown, said it was just running autozone ceramics and autozone rotors) had SERIOUS smoke pouring out of the front brakes on a ceasars head downhill run and I know i was more aggressive with the brakes when i went a few weeks later on the 20's.

I have some sort of HP pads that arent listed lol. They shoot fiyarrrr off.

You're going a little crazy w/the brake calipers, man! Have you done any ducting for them at all, yet?

Real talk: Are you going to swap to a 6-speed? I hope the answer is yes.



That's the good shit rite ther!!!:bigthumb:

If that is an actual stock brake pad for certain GM models, I'd be highly impressed. Ferodos, IMO, are the best street/AX pad. I'm on my 2nd set.

They are ferodo rebranded as brembo and then rebranded as ac delco... 215 a set thru crateenginesdepot.com

THe pads did awesome and basically the only time people changed away from them was for xr1s lol

I haven't gotten the V1s to fade so I haven't felt a need for ducts.

Ducts will be part of my oil cooler/splitter project.

Never felt the need for a M6. I will be doing paddle shifters sometime.

so whats the purpose in the bigger brakes then? i thought you ran on a meh street tire... going from worn out RE050A's to new NT555's allowed me to dig deeper into the brake pedal enough for it to fade and NT555's are garbage.

Re11's are the baddest, nastiest shit you can run Cone. Dont question Miker. Lol.

They must come standard on the GTOnaro ACR racecars in the Australian V8 Supercar racing league.

I'm waiting to hear about how Azenies are the shiz

I run nothing but azenies on mine and I wouldn't run anything else

RE-11s aren't a "meh street" tire. Best 200treadwear (Below 200 isn't a street tire in SCCA Rules) tire you can get.

I pull 1.8 60fts with -2.0* camber in the rear on them; and they are the best handling non r-comp you can buy to boot.

I think bobby pulled 1.8 60-fts on nexens in his stock suspension automatic...

What times do you get with that 1.8?

not enough bro

12.4 @ 113.

My car isn't setup for straight line stuff

it only ran 113 with heads and cam?!

Brakes weighed him down.

I pulled 1.8's on a 245 fuzion. I'm not impressed.

Stock stall. Stock cat back.

Again; goes back to... How many fucks do a give about how fast my car is in a straight line? 0.

Then why did you bring it to a 1/4 track? You road race an auto but don't care about the 1/4? Lol

It was the IRS shootout at Darlington. I'm not going to drive that far and not race.

You said something about a big motor and 160 mph at Roebling.

Just sayin'. Lol
