VRAlexander - is it hard to walk for you? I mean, surely with ***** the size yours must be, they must get in the way when you go jogging or something.
That is just awesome. Good job!!!

Hopefully your rotors are not warped (which is the next step after melting the pads ...).
Instead, brake harder and for a shorter time.

Also what are some good upgraded brake pads for the track/street? And do i need to change the brake lines, fluids or anything necessary? I hate shaking at a high speed, especially in a "stable" porsche turbo

wow , thats interesting. So what about just driving lets say 40 on the streets, is it better the hit the brake hard for a shorter period of time then to hit the brakes lightly? If so, can someone tell me why this is better?

320 kmh here in germany and if going slightly down hill gets 325 kmh . Early sunday mornings on autobahns trucks are restricted so you find exotics on the road and cruising together over 175 mph for over 10- 20 minutes at a time ( in unrestricted zones of course)
