But I was running porterfield R4 track pads in the front.. And I tell you. R compound Tires, track pads, and a good suspension makes a hell of a difference. I actually truely believe I had TOO much grip then the car could handle lol. But with that said. I think the brakes need some work. I didnt P***y brake at all. I slamed on them and trail braked where I could. And I tell you, the pads were still overheating. It was a fairly hot 96 degree day. God knows what the track temp was... but I think its time to upgrade the rotors.
As you mentioned, the ABS didnt give me too much trouble. Despite the fact that I had R4 track pads in the front, and R4s street pads in the rear.
So with my settup, the only 2 complaints I have were the brakes over heating, and I was getting some nasty wheel hop.. Which I need to track down and fix.

Sweet. I'm thinking to just go with DBA 4000's for the rotors and make myself some brake ducks using the fog lights holes.
Get some engine mounts too. Helps a good deal.
