I need new pads up front. I love the Hawk pads on my BMW. I can't find any info that they make one that would fit the /4 teener.

I've used Mintex and Pagid. Got 19mm master cyl. Blue fluid. I could DE the car again in April, but the last time, braking sucked. Probably really heat buildup, since I had brakes for about the first 3 laps, but only frustration and fear for subsequent tours.

5 lug would be sweet, but isn't even a remote plan.

I've not seen much about the BMW caliper mod in a while. Seems like lack of proportioning valve may have hurt that approach.

I'm looking for ideas. Good ones mostly.

Anybody got a hard stopping /4? How didja do it (besides press on the brake pedal)?
