Default Re: R32

What front brake pads have you used on the track for the R32?

Default Re: R32

None, I ran stock and had some fade...

I know guys who were having custom pads made, but I never took it that far, teh R32 was too heavy and I had clutch issues, which caused me to move to the JCW MINI

Default Any street car is going to feel like a rental car after a Radical;-)

I can't compare the suspension setups, but my stock A3 was more than a match for what were technically much faster cars.

Default neil, i've been really very pleased with the porterfield R4S, ....

unless you're looking for a track specific pad to switch to, for track days, i can well recommend porterfield's R4S. they are plentimous strong enough for most club type trackdays, and totally streetable.

<b><i>"... run what you brung!"</i></b>

if you're running a lot harder, longer sessions, and r-compound, maybe some carbotech XP10 front, and XP8 for the rear

btw,
boki's not making miller
boki is totally, totally out of cash, and unemployed

willow springs was a blast last week, and boki was making good lap times, ...
<i>(until his fan cut down a coolant line, and dumped all the coolant on the front staight, and even had a wee fire in the engine room, which bokii quickly put out with his fire extinguisher! got it all patched up in the pits, and drove it home)</i>
