Hi Blakt Out, thank you for the kind offer, sorry I live in China. It would be very expensive to ship heavy brakes from US. Hope you will make sale soon. Thank you for sharing the story, I also believe it is better to have more braking power than less ! The outcome can be fatal or very expensive.

Start doing this far back from the turn at first, then work your way up closer and closer. This way, you're braking consistently and you find your real braking point.
Thank you very much for this great tip/skill, I will practice tomorrow. How wonderful, can't wait. Unfortunately, we can't use the Shanghai F1 track at will - it was open last Sunday, I went on total 8-9 laps + 3 hold up by a pace car and cost USD200+ !
