96S10 what brakes are you running?

[Syclone0044]

Hey Nan I am wondering what brakes you are running for Road America? Last year I ran fresh stock 10.5" brakes with Performance Friction "Z-Rated" street pads and the brakes were warped, melted, and smoldering (two sets). So this year I am looking at the Baer 12" kit, what are you running?

JOSH,
just like i tell everyone...

THE PADS are all ya need.
Get Real Race Pads for the Front, like HAWK BLUE 9012, or better(higher temp rating).
you need a pad rated for 1,200 degrees, or better.

YES, larger diameter rotors will help, BUT,
the PAD will still overheat & melt & Gas,
significantly reducing the Friction,
causing an OFF at least, or Crash at worse.

you need RACE PADS

Nan, (96s10), has purcahsed Hawk Blue Pads, for RA this october!

AND!
HAVE FRESH NEW BRAKE FLUID IN THE FRONT SYSTEM,
i flush the whole brake system, right before RA.

Go to any FORD Dealer,
and buy the Plain Old , FORD DOT3 , brake fluid they have on the shelf,

it has a 550 degree dry boiling point.

very good for $4 a bottle.

thats all i use.

That's what I did last year, flushed everything, I run Motul RBF600, I feel it's the 2nd best option only to the unbeleivably expensive Castrol SRF.

Hey josh!!!!!!!! Mike is totaly right! I looked at all the Baer kits, which look awsome btw. But I just went with a set of hawk Blue pads for the front and a set of slotted rotors. I'm also going to have 98 camaro rear discs, but who knows who much that will help.

You really will be amazed at how much of a difference REAL race pads make!


PS if you do get a big brake kit I would love to come help ya put it on

[SSmike1]

YES
alot of people use Motul 600
but you dont need to spend 5 times as much
cause the FORD DOT 3 stuff is just as good dry.

who needs the wet boiling point
if ya keep the stuff fresh?

Josh,
Nan is coming home from korea
'for the month of october.

Hey josh I looked up a 1991 GMC Syclone on the hawk pads application site. Your truck uses the same brakes as mine!!!!!

Hawk Part no. HB 119 I bought my pads from pegausas racing! They are local and have good prices!
