DIY: AP Racing Install

do you have any data to indicate the we need a certain max operating temp? i won't know until I get some temp paint on and test it... I know it gets too hot for the agbs sensors is all at this point... i'm more concerned about getting the right friction and response curve right now than a super high mot...

I think a 1300 MOT will be acceptable for 90% of the tracks out there, but there are some that are known for punishing brakes that may require something slightly higher.

Sintered race pads are tempting, they're not the most streetable but if you were just using them to drive to the track I think they would do fine. They have a incredibly flat friction curve from 200 - 2000F, require no bed-in and work well in the rain. Only real downside is they are expensive. CL Brakes in the UK has a few compounds available, RC8 being the most aggressive but RC6 perhaps being the most suitable for me.
