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 |

Eric pointed me to the Porterfield R4-1 vintage racing compound for the Chumpcar. Since our top speed is only about 90 mph anyway, we needed something that would get up to temp quickly and function well with such a light car.
After 10 hours of tracktime (yeah yeah, the race was 14 hours) they look brand new and the rotors are in great shape. A little squeaky driving around town, but still plenty of grip. I'd highly recommend them, even in cars up to 200 HP or so or without a lot of extra weight (V8 conversions, etc). |
