Road America: Glowing brakes!

**More pics on 2nd page**

Hey guys,

This past weekend I was at R/A for a 2 day event with an Fbody club....anyways, the days were awesome had a great time. Most everyone got out ok, a few bad wrecks, a GT3 and 2 vettes . Ill try to get some of my photos up soon, but in the meantime, I found these shots on the MFBA website:








Thanks Martin @ Girodisc for the awesome setup and Chris @ AMS for the AWESOME tune

-Ryan

-3.25ish front and -1.5ish in the rear. Stock calipers, but Girodisc rotors and Raybestos ST-43 pads with AMS brake ducts and Motul fluid.

I was hitting 145 around 7800rpm, let off early cuz didnt wanna rev any higher or shift. If I were to push it and shift, most likely could've hit around 153.

We didnt get any rain til the 3rd session on Sunday, and by that time I was gone.

Ya I'm still using the stock 6-speed. With regular fluid flushes, and proper downshifting its been just fine so far. This is with 12-13 events this year and a few last fall. Although this winter I will be riggin up an oil cooler for the tranny.

You gotta try the ST-41 in the front it's like throwing out an anchor. Looks to be going into turn 5 in the pics also at the end of a 145 MPH straight but with more braking, how did you like the kink?
