Try http://www.jbracingtires.net

That's where I got my 710's.

 

The French make the Cup's - Michelin. I think the guys that Levent used have some used RA1 for like $75/tire.

 

No talk today? Mike, get ready for Roebling... Give me a call about XLine.

Here's the Roebling Thread.....

what brake pads should i get
no one has answered that yet

 

I got my tires yesturday - and put them on. Man - they have to be 2 to 5# lighter than my Volks with PS2 and they are 25mm wider in front and rear too! They fit and I drove it around on the streets - wow can you say grip!!!!
I will be see Jeff Gordon Thursday - so I will call you and set up the time.
You actually missed the best part of the F1 race last night, Ferrari and Reneo where neck and neck for the last 20 laps. Yet, Michael ended up with the win as I am sure everyone is aware. The coolest part was Reneo pitted and Ferrari did one lap before pitting - when Ferrari pulled out of the pit lane - they where in the exact same possition. Man, I wish I had a team like that for my car!

 

I can't answer this for you - my 355mm rotors don't need special pads to help them stop! Anyone else can help SFLG35?

 

For your first time, you really don't need any. If you really want track dedicated pads, I use the Hawk HP+ pads and a high temp brake fluid (DOT 4 or higher) like ATE Superblue. The RX-8 empties your tear ducts when you get on the brakes with those pads. Don't run them full time though, they'll slowly wear into the rotor.

 

I agree with TrackHoRX8, also Its hard to say what pads to get not know how hard we will be on brakes there.But if you would like a little upgrade check Nopi. I'm using pads made by Satisfied they are the GS line made exclusively for Nopi.Really great buy and they are carbon/ceramics

Carbotech has a great selection,the bobcat is the best for daily drive but if your only going to use at this event and take them off get the panther+

I don't know if u want pad for Spirited driving or just track. If u can afford 2 sets and the time to swap them out. I would just recomend get a street pads and another set for track.
Satisfied Pro Ceramic Pads
Nismo Pads
Hawks HPS (street) + for the (track)
Pagid Orange
Porterfield R4s
Endless Nouva
Project MU
I know there is more just don't feel like listing them all. etc. etc etc

 

So do we have everyone set into groups now?
Is there anyone local to that area, or is everyone staying at the Hilton?
Levent - answer your page! Jeff can't do it today as he had to take his Daughter to the doctor. He said he can do it on Friday. If you can't make it - I will be gone for the next two weeks - he said that you could drop by anytime.

 

hilton it is for me

 

Everyone set? Any questions?
