You are right I am using the stock brake pads with the GM Metric front brakes. At the meet this weekend I had Scott Stephens (the track owner and former GT racer) drive my car and make suggestions as to what I needed to improve my performance and safety. After about 15 minutes on the track his suggestions were to relocate my brake pedal to the right for easier heal toe braking and to upgrade my brakes to reduce fade and stopping. He thought my handling and power was very good.

My brake pedal fix is a simple one. He suggested removing my straight vertical pedal with a "Z" pedal to move it over a couple of inches toward my gas pedal. However, when I move the brake pedal I will also move my clutch pedal to the right for easier use.

Gene, I just was looking at the Wilwood brakes in the summitt catalogue but I didn't see any drilled and slotted rotors, do you know the part numbers you used?

Thanks,


Clois
