Here is what I’m going with for COTA in May: leaving the XP20’s up front and switching from XP12 to XP10 rear. I called Carbotech to order pads and talked to Mike Jr again. He was aware of my issue and had also recommended replacing/rebuilding my calipers. He said since it seemed that my issue was primarily back brakes centered that I probably had too much grip there and to go back to XP10. I would like to try that solution. My first day 2 weeks ago on COTA was great. Was able to late brake and looked like I was gaining 10 mph more on the long straight. I just had to be careful not to end up mating with the Vettes that blew past me on the straight areas.

My mechanic at Nissan said my calipers looked good. He can rebuild them but said he didn’t think they needed it.

I also need to get off my lazy butt and get my video uploaded of my thrill ride backwards into Turn 12.
