PCD: Last year's version
I drove my buddies Z4 M coupe last weekend with DTC-60's and I must say I was throughly impressed. This was the 2nd car now I've driven with those pads and both had the same, amazing, feel.
I am over carbotechs. They're a good pad, don't get me wrong, but I'm finding there are much better pad choices out there for my driving style.

Tim, if how you autox is any indication I think you're going to be pretty fast at WGI. You'll probably be more than fine for the first couple sessions as you get a feel for everything, but if you're comfortable there from all the sim racing and start to push keep in mind your pads might be an issue.
I'm sure between all of us we'll have enough spares to keep you going. I usually only carry one spare set with me but I'll being extras just in case. Swapping pads won't be an issue either. Not a game racing doesn't play around when it comes to HPDE domination.

^ speaking of cheap. Gonna pick these calipers up instead of rebuilding mines:

hopefully they aren't total junk. a few of the bimmer racers I talked to use rebuilt calipers from this place with good results...

So I'll be bringing brake fluid for boberto and pads for Tim. Who going to bring lube?
In other news: I would like to try something thing other than carbotechs the next time around. I am pleased with the carbotechs and can only complaining about them tapering as the wear.

^ did not know that.
These are coming from a warehouse in NJ. I was gonna to 2 day shipping but the guy said the free ground shipping they offer would get them to me by Wednesday so I just saved another $72. After getting refunded for core charges both calipers will wind up costing $172.54.

How do you like the RC6s? Any experience with the RC5+ or RC6E?
What bars? What springs/shocks?
oooohh...what did you get?
I am just about through (should get these next couple of days out of them) my first set of DTC-60s. Overall I like them, but am not impressed with the pedal feel. Bite is good and so is modulation and lack of fade. I might be trying a set CLs, thus my curiosity about Thai's experience with them.
My weekend was bitter sweet. The bimmer was understeering like crazy with the new swaybars. I tried everything I/we could think of to dial it out including disconnecting the front bar but nothing did the trick. Its very frustrating when you know how the car should feel and what it should be doing with certain input but you can't get it to happen. I'm not one to blame equipment but that was the only change since last time I was there.
