Default Re: HPDE @ Nashville Superspeedway

I will soon be running a nice brake upgrade... CL600 calipers with 345mm slotted rotors in the front, with C43 calipers & 300mm slotted rotors in the rear.

This will be a beefy 4-pot/2-pot setup with much larger hats... I'll likely switch to MOTUL RBF-600 instead of my Super-Blue...

Are Stoptech pads good for dual-purpose? I can't get the Hawk HPS in the C32/CL600 fitment... I can get them for the C43 calipers all day long.

Stoptech is the only pad that I can find that will fit both applications. I drive on the track one day to every 300 off the track, so absolute performance year-round is not a must... I love the dust free nature of the Akebonos but I despise their soft pedal feel and propensity to glaze over after a few laps.

Ducts are a consideration, and if I could come up with a sanitary way to route the ducts, I would love to get that done.

I can't stress enough about how much I learned in this event. Friction circles, braking zones, trail braking, the list goes on...
