What size are the Hoosiers on your TT wheels for sale pls?
Thanks

No, he's got other things for faster lap times.


Tom is going to show up to VIR in a 996 SuperTurboCupRSRGTR.

Only Friction Performance pads out for the front size so far, so they would be the ones.

WOW!! tell everybody!! VIR will be fun and I am coming loaded for bear!!

An individual lap times should improve with better braking, also hoping fade will be a thing of the past!!

Thanks guys for all the great comments, just thought I would share this with probably the only people who may have an interest.
When I showed the rotors to my GF she just said what's the big deal they look just like the old ones!!

Tom,

Are these the same front Calipers/Rotors that I bought (thru Vivid Racing) about
1 year ago when they first came out?? If so, I bolted a stock GT2 wheel over my calipers
no problem???

I am confused, (it happens often): I have:
#1m1.8005a: Brembo 6-piston 355x32mm monoblock front brake kit Porsche with
crossed drilled rotors.
If so: Ferodo makes a track pad (DS 3000) #1xa5.71G0r (not cheap!)

I ran the street pads at Road America and Brainerd and they held up surprisingly well
(and no squeaks!!)

MK

Pagid is scheduled to release a full set of compounds for these new calipers VERY soon. Until then it is custom PFC and Ferodo....
