i could have used some pads monday night for sure. i ended up getting some stock impreza pads from o'reilly's for under $30 yesterday to hold me over and have a set of stoptech street pads on the way. will definitely put on race pads for the next event tho.

stoptechs aren't bad. not track pads for sure but they have good bite and hopefully more endurance. will need some pss tires on this car soon. as is now i out brake the tires. really looking forward to what suspension and brake components come out. will be dropping the car off @ Forged Performance in Marietta, GA for R&D. GTR specialists are interested...

I will try to watch the video when I get home. Mike had actually messaged me just after he drove your car to tell me. Said it was fun.
I did a session at Summit Point Main on Friday, as I was there coaching and had a session free. It was fun, but I was echoing Randy Pobst's comments he made in MotorTrend. Funny thing was that I was hanging out with Randy just after the article came out, but I hadn't read it yet and didn't know he had done the driving. Otherwise I would've talked about it with him! D'oh.

As for pads, if you are going for a dedicated track pad, I would use DTC-60 (HT-10 would also work), all around. If dual-use, and sticking to street tires, you can go HP+. Don't bother with HPS other than for street and autox.

I'm lolling here, cos i did check price for the standard pads for every corner. They are CHEAP! This is truly a affordable sports car what you can drive like you stole it..
