Yeah I shoulda phrased that to be more like “enjoy” my new brakes not tune them… I dont’ have bias control at the moment anyhow… and they’ll be bedded in and have hopefully at least 1k miles on em by then. I may even buy another set of spare front pads.

Still need that PM with paypal info 😃

I was just looking for ceramic pads, and found that Friction Master only make em for the front calipers. Guess I’ll have to run some cheap Advance Auto metallics in back.

Trying to find a set of reasonably priced crossed drilled/slotted rotors+ss lines too…sets on ebay for $439…im thinkin bout it.🙂

Could come in handy with my ST Swaybars I just ordered :snky:

Pads and fluid are more important anyday. Cheap Chinese rotors are more than adaquate.

For $439 you should be able to buy a set of ss lines, two sets of rotors and two sets of Hawk Blues and still have change left over.

Buy blanks for rotors. Anything else is fucking rice. I’d even prefer blanks over GOOD drilled/slotted like Porsche makes. Simple, cheap, effective. How can you argue with that?

True, I wonder if I could just find some SS lines. Pads will be ordered Friday.

99% of X-drilled rotors are not properly designed and only give up surface

Here’s a direct link to the auction I’ve been watching.

It’s a toss up.

It’s not a toss up at all. Buy good fluid, good pads and new BLANKS for rotors if you need them. Make brake ducts if you’re worried. Slotted rotors are great for show but not much else.

Ok, since the car is dead looks like I’m going to come up in the Jeep and just hang out. I’m more than willing to ride with people who would like advice on the course/line/braking points etc. Or if anyone wants to let me take a few laps that’d be cool too 😉 Otherwise I’ll just be shooting photos 🙂

Mike, I’d trust you with the Conquest, and I haven’t even really introduced myself yet. I saw you at the BBQ, but you were busy and I was too. I figure a basic 951 and the TSi have similiar characteristics…should be interesting 🙂

I know that, but I didn’t wanna say that my car is similiar to his, cause its obviously not. Anyway, I can’t wait to tear it up!

Ditto, my CV boot on my front axle decided to slice down the street instead of across :roll: ; grease all over everything. ☹
