Yeah.... WAY too much front bias. I understand the reason for it, but damn it you're giving up a braking distance..... do want more rear braking powa, which is why I did XP's on both axles

From the research I did, they're price fixed. I bought them direct from CT

I'm in need of stickier tires..... tires that I should tow with me to the track and then put them on.... but I still need to biuld a trailer for that

Yup.... gotta problem with that? Already got the trailer. It was originally for a 13' Boston Whaler. Going to cut the shit out of it and shorten it, it will carry 4 tires, and a full width box for tools, compressor, jack, chairs, cooler, and a spare battery.

It's not like I don't have the torque to tow

Wilwood really need to bring some newer compounds to the table.

So true! I love my Miata's Wilwood big brake kit but the pads suck compared to the Carbotechs I've been spoiled with.

I'm trying to get set up to resell them. I'm setting up an online store, I should be able to get them for you soon should you want to go through me.

Well, we've got to get it to DGRR somehow.... it'll never make it there on its own power, the renni doesn't have the balls, and the gm will die 1/4 of the way down
