Yep. Still only 3 three signed up. I know Derek will be signing up too but I'm still surprised it's only 3. I'm sure the day before it'll be like 5 late sign ups.

The HP+'s used to fade on my STI up at BIR and in my limited experience in the FRS, braking hard into turn 13 after the standing start lap, the HP+ felt like they were fading a bit.

For autox, DCTC and similar, I think the HP+ is good. For full track like BIR, other big road courses, I think a higher temp pad is needed. But if you go too aggressive, you'll overpower "street" tires.

Another thing to be mindful of when you go to a more aggressive pad (not saying you're having this problem, just general info), is that you have to learn to brake later and use more of the brake. A friend of mine said he was running DTC-something and was over heating them at BIR because he was braking too early and not aggressive enough - thus longer pad to rotor contact, more heat, more fade. Later, more aggressive braking = less friction time, less heat. There is of course a happy medium.

I'm still trying to decide if I'll compete on the 10th...it's either compete, instruct/work the event, or go the Nordeast Big River Brew Festival. Too many options!

I was wondering if thats what he meant. I was going to make a 'ringer' crack.

Typically I probably apex at 110-111 and hit 120 again before I brake at 4 or 3.5 marker into 3

Was that in your BRZ? That is seriously quick! I have going to BIR a couple times a year for quite a while now. I don't often check my lap times but when I do I am happy to be under 2 minutes.

Hey, local guys. I have some brakes and wheels for sale here in MN in case anyone is interested.

I was only at BIR once with these brakes and never got there with the newer pads.

One other track trick I would like to pass on. I slotted my factory struts and used camber bolts to get -3 camber up front. This stopped the edge wear I was getting on the tires. I also could go for longer sessions. Before I did this I would get maybe 4-5 laps in before the tires felt greasy, after that I could go the full 25 minutes without an issue.

I sold my car last week so I am motivated to move these parts.

I also have a WRX spare wheel/tire for sale. This clears the brake kit.

I may be interested in the brakes. Need to look at my budget and I'll let you know.

OK sounds good. This is one of the only kits that works with stock wheels.

I would sure think so but I don't have any firsthand knowledge.
