Car is currently setup for autocross and is my weekend driver. Going to be doing my first D.E and wanted to freshin up the tires and pads. Advice on what brake pads would be good for Drivers Education events, looking at thge Hawk autocross pads but any help woukd be great. Also a decent non street tire, I have designated 15x5.5 wheels. R888, Nt01?
Car has factory brakes on a 1973 914/4 2.0 |

I bet those tires will fit on the wheels. Your rear fenders my need slight adjusting.
I agree with what Brant said about the brakes. I run hawk dt-70 right now and there stop fine, but are really hard on the rotors. I called the hawk tech line and he thought my car was to light for those pads too. I did want to add something, did you say this is your first DE? What tires do you have now? I ran some cooper Cobras at my first event. I upgraded after that, but I promise that good tires wouldn't have changed anything about my first event. Lots to learn and those high tread wear tires talked a lot! Have fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
