Sadly, no it won't, even with 265 Pilot sport cups up front, StopTech brakes, Pagid Blacks, Castrol SRF, custom Tech Art ducts, GT3-cup ducts. I even have real time caliper temps and alarms so I know when I have to be extra careful ... you know when they are giving up the ghost but usually you are fighter losing the tires well before then anyway (I also have real time tire temps).

Well, well, well Mr STEVO!!! You've walked a long way since last time, haven't you, Mr.?

Do yourself a favor and replace that Motul for the Castrol SRF before going to a track, trust me on this. I use that (Motul) on my race car because I flush alot but mostly because it weights 1000kg and has 170bhp. On the Turbo for the track ONLY SRF or you risk spoiling a great day on the track because of the fluid.

I stopped spending money on mine... (because I bought the M3).

You must be running enduros or in 100* weather. My car stops pretty darn good with just hawk pads in the front.

Hell no! I'm dumping amoney on the E30 M3 evo 2...making it concours-like. The Porsche is a keeper, for now...

Regarding SPA, who's we?

Fran, It's an official Porsche meet, us Scottish guys have about 12 cars going in our group going, but I know there is loads more from over the rest of the UK.

If you're on big tracks, then maybe. On smaller tight tracks ... I doubt it. Are you stock? If so, then maybe again ... but even then I doubt it. I cracked the stock rotors on my first weekend with stock power. I am stage 4 and if you drive hard, stock brakes don't stand a chance. Most people do not break nearly hard enough and are slow on the track. When you start to go fast, you have no choice but to slow our heavy cars down to make the turns ... and the brakes (and tires) suffer accordingly.
