Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
Fineberg sounds like a hardparker dishing out advise to the pros without ever even turning a wheel on the track. Just cause you played it on gt5 doesn't mean you can wheel the car like that IRL, brah. Come at meh!
At Njmp Lightning this morning with the Chuster gettin ready to dominate some jdm bimmerz. He is a contender to Nguyen the championship up in her. Holla!

You guyz gonna be showing off your Tokyo drift skillz out there today or what? Have you done a wet event yet in the BMW?
i put about 600 miles on the car over the weekend, traveling and driving on track. rotor does not look scar from the pads at all. the sintered iron is very dense, so the pedal fell very firm. they are also made from high heat and pressure, so no bedding is required to cure the resin, just through them on and a do a couple slow laps to transfer material if you ran different pads prior. they are not as on/off is i thought they would be. i don't have abs and i have no problem modulating them. release was smooth and the pad didn't drop off performance at all. this was on street tires though. i'll see this week when i run at Thunderbolt on hoosiers.
we'll see how big your mouth is when we race for BJ at kart domination. it's only gay if you like it.

Thai, are autozone pads half way decent? I ran et500s and they were pretty terrible. Grillo shares the same sentiment. Are the 800s any better? I think the problem with the RB pads was that they needed heat in them before they started to bite. On the street you need more cold bite.
oh, i thought the word out there was ET500 are decent street pads.
i only have autozone rear pads on the evo (for track), to reduce rear brake bias. i have not run autozone front pads on the evo, so i don't know. i do run autozone pads on all my other street car. lifetime warranty boich. i've own the CRV for 12 years and have only paid for pads once.

I have the 500's on my car now and coming from a track pad they're scary.
Dan, do StopTech make the street pad for your car? A lot of people seem to like them for the VIII/IX and they're cheap. I would try that.

i thought I had air in the system or something so we did a brake bleed, and it wasn't any better.
et800s were better than my centrics but created huge amounts of dust.
hawk hps, bit better than centrics, worse than et800s, but dusted like the centrics which were the least dusty of all of them.

They ask for your info when you buy the pads. When you need to replace the pads, you buy a new set of pads, same as what you have. Swap the pads out and put the old pads in the new box and return it under warranty. Done.
