advice on rotors/pads and tracking
Posted: Mon Aug 16, 2010 6:36 am
hi everyone...
some details...
2008 mx5 with 18500kms - 18" volks with Yoko S drives 225. i have stock rotors + brake pads.
i am planning on taking it tracking.. to shannoville in ontario (not sure if anyone is familiar) .. in any case my questions are the following:
1) will i be okay with stock rotors + brake pads or should i swap out the pads for something a bit more aggressive...
2) should i just replace the rotors + brake pads altogether. do i need to do SS lines as well?
3) am i okay with my 18s and yokos 225..... this set up is slightly lighter than the stock OEMs with bridgestone potenzas
i am not going to go hard on the track. it is my first time but i will still be going full throttle and braking hard...
i want a solution for my rotors and pads.......that will be the most cost effective long term wise as this car is still my daily driver in the summer and spring and fall (no winter). so i want to make sure if i replace brake parts i can still drive it on the street.
can anyone please advise?
Thanks,
Richard
