Topic: My stock pads are shot. What can I get ASAP

[Ben L]

They do not.  A luxury we did without on this build. 

It would have been a PITA, and not really needed for what I use BDC for. 

I do have a nice Momo on Fiero e-brake handle, though.  In a box somwhere. . . .

E-brakes are a requirement in SCCA Solo up through SSM and SM classes. I don't know about Prepared, but certainly not required in Mod classes.

[Ben L]

Never had a problem in XP.  But then again, I have about 3 cars to push out of the way before I would be a consistent podium XP finisher with WDCR SCCA. 

No one would much care until then. Hell, the Cobra guys I run with probably would not care even then, seeing as how both of them participated heavily in the build, and neither run e-brakes in their heaps.  Protests are really frowned upon in our bunch . . . . Plus, what class would that push me into?  How much more PAX-dorked can you get than XP?

Why does ABS keep you from having adjustable front rear brake bias?

Some useful information pertinent to your ?? in here.

I just spoke with the folks at SS yesterday, the final Drift event is next weekend, then they have to finish the SEMA car they are building for Ford Racing, then maybe they will finish the Wilwood kits. Ian does have the prototype stage III's on his cars and his words they are perfect. I hope to be running the Wilwoods by next Spring even if I have to drive to Charlotte to get them.

Any word on a functional roll bar?

[lil goat]

I think the market may be to small for the roll bar, for them anyway. They are already Wilwood vendors and pretty much just have to CNC the mounting brackets, they did have Wilwood do custom 2 piece rotors, they are pretty cool. All Wilwood had to do was put our bolt pattern in and existing rotor.

Be nice to Larry of Casey Designs.  He may be up for the project. 

He's got the CNC machine, the bandsaw, the benders, and definitely the welding skills. 

[Uranium-238]

Interesting...I think I'm going to still get an alignment from him, so maybe I'll mention that as well.

I really want to run larger rotors for heat dissipation. I'm curious if I can get a caliper relocation bracket to accept a larger diameter rotor without having to mod anything else. might be a budget way to better head dissipation.

Heat MANAGEMENT includes heat dissipation. BUT, if the pads and fluid are not up to the task, 1" larger diameter disks will do little good. Assuming your next set of pads do not fade (and with ratings north of 1200-1500 degrees they shouldn't) then fluid will be the big issue. Quite a juggling act, huh?

I wonder if the power slot cyro rotors would help?  Very interesting to read about.
