i dont think they are a big seller, but i decided the sintered pads had some very good qualities i wanted to try. touge factory and essex are the main retailers.

the noise is really only when you get down to a very slow speed, like just before you come to a full stop. ive gotten used to it. the dust is plentiful, but some black magic foaming cleaner and a hose take it right off (although i also apply wheel wax at the beginning of each season, but the wheel cleaners may eat right through that).

overall, as a first race pad, they have been very good imho.

 

Doesn't look like TF is selling anything -

I get all my brakes from Essex mostly, Jeff is an awesome guy to deal with. Tell him Balrok or EvoM referred you and he'll likely hook you up.

 

its there.

essex supplies them to touge as far as i know anyway.

 

I wondering if the ACD reflash would be just as good as swapping the plates on the rear diff.

 

without having taken the car out, and knowing the feel, i wouldnt start messing with rear lockup/mid corner rotation.

theres no more eye opening experience than taking a relatively stock evo on stock size street tires out to the track and realizing how ridiculously capable it actually is.
