How are your brakes?

So you don't think ducting will be enough as far as cooling goes? Since you are switching to Stoptech's?

It probably would for most tracks. There is one in particular that I go to that it definitely wouldn't be good enough. But Alex is also right, I want new toys!

If they don't come in by my next track date, may 28th, I plan on running the akebonos at Barber with hawk DTC60 0r 70 pads.

btw, brembos are off the car and stripped down, ready for refinishing and sale if anyone wants a cheap front upgrade. Requires 19" wheels though, and I don't have any of those anymore.
