i love the "brakes like a trucker passing a **** theater" line.....i may have to use it! i have the TCE/Willwood 13" bbk up front w/ poly h pads for the track and bp-20's for the street. in the rear, i have the larger TCE rotors w/ stock caliper relocated. Porterfield R4's for the track and stock for the street. i went w/ this setup because it is lighter than the stoptechs, AP's and brembos, while still providing plenty of braking torque. i've been able to out-brake everything in my DE run groups (advanced, moving to solo next month). i'm running 225/40/17 Hoosier R6's. no sense having great brakes if the tires are giving up first. i wouldn't trade my brakes for any other.
