What a dilemma. Spend more on Kevlar pads and wear out rotors faster.
Unfortunately, I understand that there are no new or NOS left anymore
(didn't someone say that the new ones available are not built properly?
Ramon I think). Or, risk worse brakes.
I have actually found that my brakes pull the car to a stop pretty darn go
- as long as the rear drums are adjusted well. But, then I have not done
any R&T 0-100-0 tests. Maybe that should be a new race for our car events.
Of course the 100 might have to be dropped a bit - or we may need to borrow
the LAX runway instead of the Big Bear strip!
