I Agree!

I use Posi-Quiet as my DD pads and HAWK DTC for my track pads. I like both sets for their purposes.

I also had them on the S2K for a short time.

In all honesty it's not that bad, you just have to keep up with it.

You know how frequently I wash my car, so probably not an issue at all anyway

Im trying man. The Z isn't inspected right now so its just being a garage camper at the moment. ABS sensor is still acting a fool. Gone through pretty much all diagnostic crap I can think of short of hooking the sensors up to Consult 3...which is a $500 purchase.

Anyways once that is fixed ill be getting my tune sorted out and ill be down. :/

this is soo true, i've seen with my own eyes.

dmhenderson · 12-02-2013, 04:18 PM

I wash the car once a week so it probably wouldn't be that bad I guess.

XwChriswX · 12-02-2013, 04:46 PM

The Adams DWC works great too. Love the stuff. Don't even really need to use a brush if you don't want to, good water pressure after about ~5 minutes of soaking will take 95% of it off.

Track: XP10 Front / XP8 Rear
Street: ...whatever came in the box with my Cobra Calipers/Rotors lol

I have the same brake pads set up and they are still on the car, too lazy to swap them out.

Well i had the last track event... then i came down to FL for work. I ended up having to drive it to base a few times (jeep broke on me). going 10mph for 40 miles in stop and go traffic was horrible lol. think i pissed off everyone around me.

so its still kinda sitting at home... somewhat broke lol

chieuxuan · 12-02-2013, 07:47 PM

I hear you, I went for an oil change two weeks ago, when I pulled and stop, everybody looked at like wtf dude, you need brakes.......lol.....noise doesn't bother me at all, it's just the compound that stick on the wheels is hard to take off. Some won't come off. Other than that, I love Carbotech pads.

m4a1mustang · 12-02-2013, 07:49 PM

Welp, tires ordered for the Z. Turns out the PSS 305 is really around a 315 which is just way too much on a 10" rim. Went 265/285 instead which should naturally dial out some understeer. Big front sway bar is going to help a lot with that as well. This car needs all the front grip it can get!

How do the 265s fit? I'm thinking really heavily about a square 275 setup.
