Which Pocono configuration? Probably the HP+ will work, but...he'll likely need to replace them shortly afterwards...newbs torture their brakes...had a guy in an 2013 WRX kill a set of HP+ on Sunday at Lightning...and he was only running 1:55s on stock tires. No, I was not instructing him...

I'v been running them I'm the rear since last year, they give me the brake bias I need and have lasted the longest out of all the street pads I've used in the rear. I'm considering getting a set for the fronts to try out for de events. I can get them for $55 with my sponsor. Chu has a set that hes going to try and ill wait for his reponse. I think they would be a great pads for novice and cheap.
I like the StopTech Performance pads for street use (on my M3, tC, and Integra). But would never run or suggest they are run on the track on a car heavier than an Integra...so a Miata, S2000, E30, Integra, Civic...sure...but not an STI, Evo, or 350Z.


Simmons is selling the 255s because he likes the 245s better...not a compound issue, just size.

yeah i have a front bar too, just gonna have to hope i dont die with the rear bar on the middle setting. i just looked back at a convo i had with myles at GTworx and he said with a front bar, the rear bar on the middle hole shouldn't quite be loose, and if it is it shouldnt be so loose it cant be corrected with camber

i might need to buy you ice cream for selling me the ohlins, just went for a ride and HOLY HELL is it amazing!

my cel that popped up during PCD went away today and my wideband that had randomly died started working again...but i found a crack in my windshield.

whats everyones votes on front camber? -2.5, -2.8, -3?
gonna do -1.5 rear with 1/16 total toe in (i think thats like 0.1 degree in per side)

this will be my last long post...gonna go blog about everything LOL.

2.8 - 3.0 depending on how much street driving you do.. I run slightly more on the driverside since most tracks I do run clockwise, just an FYI.
