What kind of driving do you want the pads to accomodate? For street, and light track, Ferodo DS2500 are great pads.

I would go with the S series GSC. You really wont regret it.

Hey Jake, did you get that CF SE Lip you were looking into? Sounds like a pretty good deal.

Yeah, I think I'll go with the GSC S2s and get the Beehive springs to keep the stock retainers.

I would also recommend the S2's and pay a little more for them. Quality is there and so are the numbers. S3's just recently made it into the 8's on Pauls car and the S2's have gone into the 10's on Lucas' car and 9's again on Paul's car.

So tell me, will I notice a huge difference in the pull from stock cams to the GSC S2s? I don't get on it too much, but when I do with my current setup I definitely feel it, but I'm wondering how much more will I feel with the 272 cams.

Yes. There is a huge difference. Deff noticeable. I would go with the s1's or s2's depends on your budget. And yes, I got my SE lip yesterday. Hopefully get it put on this weekend.

Just got off the phone with GSC and it sounds like the S1s are more suited for my driving style. He was saying that the S2s will give about 5 to 10 hp in the top end but will lose a little tq in the mid range. I don't track or drag the car, so I mainly stay in the 4 to 6k range and occasionally hit the 7k+, so I'm thinking I'll just save the extra $$$ and go with the S1s.

Nice man, was thinking of picking that up or the Ralliart he has, but decided to spend the $$$ on some cams and JDM bumper, but I haven't ordered either... yet!
