Re: "great brakes are no accident"

[RussCB]

I have recently purchased a r32 gts-t and i replaced the brakes with some pads from "race brakes" in melbourne.  They are an RB74 pad and I know lots of the guys in the wrx club use them on track days etc.....I have only had them for a couple of weeks but have found them good....no fade after numerous 170km/h stops and long downhill runs...quite impressed actually, I think temp wise they are good for up to about 650 degrees or so ...they sound like they might be wearing the discs at slow speed but when the temp is up they are smoother....   Russ ----- Original Message ----- From: damien cm To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 11:44 PM Subject: RE: "great brakes are no accident" I think that your right. I have always rated B-brakes over K-brakes, but now my choice is very limited with pads, so I may have to go the K-brakes.  Roughly, how much are Pagids worth anyway? Is it just me,or do K-brakes make your pedal feel like shit? Can you get Ultimates for R31 rear calipers?
