Yup, Stock with Castrol SRF. I was mostly on the long course last year which give the brakes a good chance to cool down. With more power i think I will be braking more and harder

The only downside is they don't have the initial bite i'd like for AutoX - but that's ok since AutoX isn't my focus at BIR, just more fun to have.

A big brake kit or something is probably pretty far down on my list right now.
I may have to try those. I had pretty good luck with carbotech before (different car, 2005 GTO). I did find that once I got into using the xp10's hard I had heat issues that boiled the fluid. In the end I ended up going with a big brake kit and cooling later.

How are those for noise on the street? I always had noise issues with the xp 10's

Do you know Todd from Tracktime Motorsports?
