Message	enter the conversation, but I suppose they wouldnt want to get involved with two idiots talking like they are brake Gods." Simple: They don't need to. All one needs to do is look up the profiles of known track hounds (Scott Smith, Guapo, Tu, and vorpalZ just to name several [apologies to anyone I didn't list, like ni[x]it]) and see what they use (Scott/Guapo = Stoptech; Tu/vorpalZ = Wilwood). Then contact them and inquire about the reasons they selected their particular brake set-up and also get input on their experience with the issues such as fade, front/rear bias, etc. When it comes to braking performance for track use, I'd trust the real-world feedback from the track hounds. Now pull your pants back up and put away the ruler, this bickering is getting beyond old.... Dave This car is probably owned by a snowboarder.
