Cool carbon break pads.
Now called kfp.
6 years on my rotors so far with 2 drivers.
You don't need drilled rotors.
Power slotted if you if you want
What rotors are you using too sir?
Shane
my fronts are 911 vented rotors from ATE with the eliptical slotting
they were really only a few dollars more than standard replacements
my rears are 914/6 non vented stock rotors
I had a machinist create the power slotting in them
I'm not really sure the slotting is even necessary or that beneficial
the right pads make the most difference
I played with KFP on a 944Turbo and the car was really too heavy for them
the hawks were superior on that car...
but most of the pads are created for the common street performance market cars... corvettes, 911s, 944's, mustangs.... cars that weigh 3000lbs
so a lot of the pad compounds don't work on a 914, even if they are the best pad you can get for your heavy car.
kind of like tires, its all about the compound operating range
I am going to do some brake temp testing this spring on the track for my car
but there are some sweet compounds out there for lighter cars
the KFP may or may not be the best
but it is definitely a good compound, and rotor friendly
