    Eibach basher welcome

    How many miles before they start to get worn? I imagine the spring rates are matched to the shock? And you're not crazy dropping it on its face?

    1st brake pad swap on 05 GT

    Agreed. I did also notice that the line enters at the bottom of the caliper too. Which is where the wear was worst. I think I'll just keep an eye on the Hawks, flip them when necessary.

    1st brake pad swap on 05 GT

    Yes the tapered wear pic, only it's just the inside pad. Outer pad was fine and even. 1 track day for me is generally 80 minutes, 4-20 minute sessions. But I occasionally go out on a extra session with a student or corner worker. Some days I miss sessions when busy. Track and driving...

    1st brake pad swap on 05 GT

    After how much track abuse did the calipers clam shell? I had a set of 99-04 GT front PBRs on my CMC car for years, I still have them in a box. The aluminum pistons cracked from the heat before the body clam shelled.

    1st brake pad swap on 05 GT

    I'll have to check out the XP8s. I went with the HPS because I had some Hawk Bucks from contingency, got the front set for $16 shipped. Are the XP8 good for front/rear? When I ran CMC1 we ran XP12 on the front and XP10 in the rear.

    1st brake pad swap on 05 GT

    I'm definitely gonna ditch the drilled and slotted, them more I think of it I bet the slotting is what caused the uneven wear. They're still straight, and still work. Running in TTD is way different than W2W. No need to get inches from one another. I want a good street friendly pad since my 05...

    1st brake pad swap on 05 GT

    Just swapped all 4 corners. Had some strange uneven wear. All 4 corners are the PowerStop D/S rotors, pads were the PowerStop brand. Whatever comes with the kit. They actually did OK on the track, even with a premium GT that tips the scales at 3700 with me in it. Didn't start getting fade...

    My 2005 GT, soon to run TTD

    Update: Have done 2 events this season. Still doing instructor training. Proving to be more involved than I thought. A good thing, learning a lot other than driving. On TTD, have been doing well. 1st event beat out a STi on lap times. 2nd event tok home a HAWK certificate for $100, and had...

    My 2005 GT, soon to run TTD

    Thanks for the link Mark! LOL Dave, spoken like a true competitor. Great info. Step one I'm getting this sucker on the scales. Once the weather gives in a little and I can move my CMC car out of the garage. The big reason I want to stay TTD is I have a buddy with a 2000 GT that will get up to...

    My 2005 GT, soon to run TTD

    Got to drive my 05 for the 1st time other than the test drive. Put about 60 miles on it today. 1st S197 impressions: stock shifter - sucketh, feels like rowing a boat stock brakes - feel decent, except for the slotted/drilled rotors, not used to the feel of those on the pedal stock springs - a...

    NASA Classing thoughts

    Thanks Dave! I will be staying TTD with my 05. Not going to get wrapped up in competition too much since I'll be trying my hand at instructing. So instructing first, then if I get a couple of sessions a weekend, I'll make a few fast laps when time permits. Completely agree on re-programming...
