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 |

great advice, thanks all!
yes its my first DE and its 2 days. Also signed up for a 3 day event in the summer. The car has been setup for autocross most of its life and has all the goodies on it, just need some new tires since they have a good amount of years on em', just want to make sure this 40+ year old car is as safe for the instructor and the people around me. Got everything else up to date since I have run my own shop for 10 years,now its time to squeeze in some "me" time in the shop! There are quite a few 914s listed in the DE coming up but all are /6. Hopefully I wont have my arm out the window the whole time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

Hopefully I wont have my arm out the window the whole time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) I'm a DE-holic it seems....which event are you signed up for? This year for me will be VIR, Road Atlanta, Summit Point, Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen & more VIR....welcome to the fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I started on Dunlop Star Spec's and still use them for street driving on my 16 inch wheels. On my 15 inch track wheels I'm using Toyo RA1's shaved and had great results with them--couldn't cord them in over 1500 miles of DE use on my /6 (obviously not pushing hard enough I guess). Trying out Toyo RR's this season--we'll see how they do. If you're going to street drive as well as DE's I'd vote for the Star Specs or RA-1's. I'll second the recommendation on the Porterfield R4-1's--just great pads and don't eat the rotors. |
