Prior Setup:
Brake Pad Manufacturer (F/R): Performance Friction
Caliper (F/R): Ap Sprint by Essex (F), OEM (R)
Rotor Size (F/R - IE OEM or specify): 299mm (F), OEM (R)
Compound (F/R): 01 (F), 13 (R)
Tires: Bridgestone RE-71R

Feedback: Great bite, modulation and feel, this combo was the best feeling performing I have used on the car with 200 treadwear tires. When I switched to R-comp tires, the balance and modulation were thrown out of whack and pad wear increased greatly. Probably need to adjust the compounds to improve the balance with r-comps.

Scores:
Dusting (1=high-10=low): 7
Cold bite (1=low-10=high): 6
Hot bite (1=low-10=high): 8
Modulation (1=low-10=high): 9
Noise (1=extremely loud-10=quiet): 5
Pad Lifespan (1=short-10=long): 7 (3-4 events, 3 hours per event)
Does the brake dust with this combination damage the wheels/paint if not cleaned immediately? (Y/N) No
Brake ducts: (Y/N) No


Current Setup:
Brake Pad Manufacturer (F/R): G-Loc
Caliper (F/R): Ap Sprint by Essex (F), OEM (R)
Rotor Size (F/R - IE OEM or specify): 299mm (F), OEM (R)
Compound (F/R): 16 (F), 8 (R)
Tires: Nankang AR-1, Hoosier R7

Feedback: Great bite, pedal feel and overall stopping power. Seem to be wearing the front pads at a much higher rate and the front-end dips more under braking with the increased grip (pads & tires). Working with G-Loc and will be trying an R12 rear soon to adjust the braking balance.

Scores:
Dusting (1=high-10=low): 6

Noise (1=extremely loud-10=quiet): 3
Pad Lifespan (1=short-10=long): 4 (1-2 events, 3 hours per event)
