I just remembered that I was interested in quick caliper spreaders. It appears the Lisle ones are junk and everything else I can find is stupid expensive. I don't get it. They are just reverse pliers....

I have used the Lisle ones for two years, and well over a dozen brake pad changes without a single issue...even on my 2500HD.

As for "street/track", for *me*, Carbotech XP8 and XP10 and PFC 11 have all worked great for me as street/track pads for entire track seasons. I would like more initial bite than any of these have but not willing to go noisier or dustier or less effective when cold. Pads that didn't work for me as "street/track": WinMax W5 too loud, Project Mu CR not enough cold bite, and going *way* back, Hawk HP+ way too much corrosive hard-to-clean black dust and way too much noise on the street. |

I'm back and forth between CAyman and BRZ on the street. Cayman is nicer (i.e., less wind and road noise and feels noticeably more solid), mucho bettero engie noises , but BRZ feels lighter which I like and also has better steering IMO. Cayman steering is too slow and also too heavy, and the steering wheel is too big. Also mine feels very nonlinear at ~45 degrees steering wheel angle particularly on right-handers. Honestly I'd like the Porsche twice as much if it had the BRZ's steering. Last edited by ZDan; 11-01-2019 at 05:57 PM. |

I run them on the street, I have no issues. Even my Genesis has HP+. My Porsche's steering although heavy was never non-linear, that sounds pretty awful. I did like it better at high speeds than the 86s, but that could have just been the car itself? Could it be a steering geometry issue? I wonder if there is an upgrade to make it 981 steering? |

Just get the oil cooler. Do you really want to be running multiple sessions in a day at 270*F?
I never understood the 'oil cooler isn't needed' crowd. engine makes less power, oil gets thinner and breaks down faster, and you have to constantly monitor it. Even if it isn't absolutely needed, it seems silly to not get one given how critical oil is. By the time you realize you need it, it might be too late. |

Casual track usage, the oil doesn't break down particularly quickly. This has been demonstrated with oil analysis. You don't have to "constantly monitor it". Of course you should check oil level regularly anyway. |

If your oil is breaking down from temperature you need to run different oil. Through UOA's and ASTM testing good modern synthetics like Motul 300V and Redline take a TON of tempt to break down. 300V has been tested at 300F for 40 hours with little to no break down or degradation. |
