Which ones do you have Penrod? I have Spec VRs in the front and Spec VXs in the rear.
Nah. I hang out everywhere. South Florida is dead for some reason.

I was told that they would be comparable to the Porterfield RS4's I had before and luuuuved.
I only did one Autocross this past year, I think, and don't have a whole lot on the schedule this year, but there nice to have during spirited drives, and I have plans to go up to North GA a couple more times this year, and then there's THE DRAGON!!!
ooohhhhh, I can't wait!!

$350 a set of four. I have one set left already treated. These are rare and are in silver cadium. One rear and some pitting on the face but still will work fine. I am letting that set go for $320.
After that set is gone the next ones will be a month away and they will be in zinc.

Has anyone tried the Akebano ceramic pads?
Akebono has issues with grain size that results in excessive pad squeal. If you're only on the street, either go with the OEM pads, or I'd suggest the AEM pads (we (Nissin Kogyo) make those for AEM).

yes, cryoing does work on the glue that holds the pad material. Up to 65% increase in wear resistance. I did pads for one of the Cobalt Friction sponsored cars that won the Rolex 24hour endurance race.
Since you are on the "Area 51" subject, tell about the Dale Earnhart, Jr. stuff.
haha - - j/k
P.S. Since Sidways(Blake) is not as active, we need someone to pick on.
