Eh, too late. Its alright. I still have them here for track days. I kept the ds2500s on the back and now have the Girodisc Magic ones on the front. No noise and still a pretty good bite to them.

Mondo is right, there just isn't a good place to properly break pads in on the street. I took it on the turnpike and was beating on them a little, but still they would squeal every time I came to a stop. Its alright, at this point im not worried about performance so much as I am about reliability. Its almost time to shift into snow mode anyways.

I'm tentatively there for the saturday meet. Switching back to 93 that day, so it all depends on how quickly that goes.

Yeah, but we had issues when switching to E85. Tried the throttle position switch, but couldn't seem to get it to work right. If it worked the way it is supposed to, it would be cake. But nothing with Evos ever goes according to plan.

Who installed it for you? It should be a straight forward switch if the two tunes are correct and the switch was installed correctly. Has it ever worked correctly, or is this a spontaneous problem when going back and forth frequently?

I usually find that as long as you are under 1/4 of a tank left everything should be alright. I usually switch when I am at 1/8th of a tank (halfway between the last dash and E) and when I go from 93 to E-85 the ethanol content is usually around E-75-E-78 depending on seasonal ethanol blend. As for ethanol to 93 I keep the same level, and the E% is usually around 22-25%. Nothing too crazy. Normal 93oct now a days you see 10-15% ethanol just out of the pump.

I think coming to a meet would be a good way to bury the hatchet. Either that or a bar fight seems like the appropriate way to settle the dispute.
