To keep them a bit cooler!  you don't need it, as they'd probably be ok but the cooler your brakes are the less likely they are to overheat, fade and die. Who's starting the race thread then?  ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Plan is to go out on a trackday at Snet around Feb time with the car / us in race ready state. I can monitor the temps there to see how they cope but obviously it'll probably still be pretty cold at that point anyway.________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Bit of an update to this. I had placed an order for M1155s but supply was limited as neither Camskill or Mintex UK had any in stock so I cancelled it.Having spoken to Carbotech I'm now getting a set of XP8s instead. ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Questmead would have sorted you out with any mintex pads you wanted. Very knowledgeable too, so have a solution to any racing scenario. |
