Brakes...pads looking at some PFC08's

[M-technik-3]

We were worn out 217K mile m42 with a defunct disa valve too a warmed over M52 with the zf 320 to a 4.45lsd and make up some of the top speed with tires.

We're on budget tires but have tires for our next race. Car is gutted but needs a bit more gutting to get it down to the weight were I'm happy with power to weight ratio.

There were only two cars at our last race that could walk from us out of a turn. One turbo the other V8, this next race should help at NHIS the straights are shorter and has a nice small hill.

we've got stock e30 brakes and 205 star specs on 15x7s, they have been plenty powerful so far.

So your at about our weight, yeah we get a testing session in as well, the bad is we are only running small brakes at the moment might convert to e36 M3 brakes next year but then costs go up as well.

lemons, 16 hour weekends, typical stripped, caged e30 weight.

What type racing or DE's. We are pretty light trying to get the car weighed to set it up for corner balancing soon. Just need to get my home made coil-overs done.

[kronus]

not sure about 08s, but we've gotten at least 3 races out of our most recent PFC06's and they still have a ton of life.

If you have used them do you like them? How was their wear? We are currently only getting a weekend event out of our cheap ceramic pads and 2-3 per a set of rotors. PFC08 are double are cost but we've heard of others getting 4 races out of a set. So that would help plus they have better grip as well. Rotor costs will go up slightly but we use cheap rotors so that's not a major issue yet.
