I wouldn't worry one bit about running xp8 all the time. In fact I'd prefer it to the HPS or standard Akebono. I want aggressive bite 24/7.

Not that kind of bite, Bobo.

Oh, I agree about XP8's - they're good enough on the street not to bug me. I more meant running my 10's in the front on the street. Oh, they bite hard, alright....they also get me dirty looks for how loud they squeal...

Good 'ole floating caliper. The 5.0 uses those in the rear. Royal PITA to change pads because you have to use a special compressor tool that spins the piston as it compresses so you can fit the new pads.

You aren't alone. And that's fine.

But I will say, do it once, and you'd likely be addicted.

I think I'd wanna be a spectator first then go from there.

I am the same way. I just like driving twisty side roads.

That's mostly what I enjoy.

But I want to go to an HPDE, just so I can do crazy stuff like go 140 or oversteer on the edge of losing it, since I can't do that on the street in good conscience.
