I hear that the TR4 brakes are the way to go because of the lighter calipers. Basically, I reed to aquire all the parts to do this a; /html/fot/2004-12/msg00142.html (7,331 bytes)

I have been using Porterfield R4 compound pads and have done well with them. I would stay away from drilled rotors, since the drilling makes them prone to; /html/fot/2004-12/msg00147.html (8,500 bytes)

Nice stopping power, easy to modulate (no unwanted lockup) and they don't seem to need to be warmed up like the Hawke B; /html/fot/2004-12/msg00161.html (7,868 bytes)

Maybe it's my rotors, but every time I change the pads (they seem to last 3 to 4 events) I need to have my rotors resurfaced. Tony, are you run; /html/fot/2004-12/msg00163.html (7,349 bytes)

I doubt they've been cryo treated, but they were autocrossed with great vigor for a while, maybe that heat cycling makes a difference. I changed; /html/fot/2004-12/msg00168.html (8,219 bytes)

They may last longer in the 4 pot Toyota calipers... Still, one of the secrets to going fast is minimizing the brake usage, I suppose.

The best way to win races is to go through them very fast and use up every last bit of the track. There are trade offs in slowing more; /html/fot/2004-12/msg00176.html (10,297 bytes)
