#2. HELP! Brake Pad Decision? - from William T. Wallace

I have done searches on brake pads, Axxis, PBR, Hawk...etc, on all the leading forums and it seems every pad is good and every pad is bad to someone. Plans for the car: I plan to do at least one track outing this year. However, when I do take it out on the weekends to play, I would like to be able to stop at least as good as the OEM pads do but without the dealer cost. Are there brake pads out there that fit my profile? Sincerely, William T. Wallace 95 M3 00 528i

Isn't that why the LTW also uses those seats, just with a different fabric? That probably offsets some of the other stuff. -- Ron Katona

I have the TCKline plates, and they are very well made, and easy to adjust, but I do jack up the car. The Kmacs will raise the car slightly, and the TCKline plates with lower the car about 0.25". They still work fine on the street.

Any pad that's decent on the street (ie, good cold stopping power and no noise) isn't going to do very well in a track environment.

Dinan blowers and > Euro motors _are_ legal in class. ;-) It's the old "how fast do you want to go - how much money do you have" thing, but a TEC3 would help. Vic Sias has this down to as close to a plug and play solution as possible with the TEC3 plugging directly into the existing harness. There are a couple sensors to change, but it's pretty basic stuff. You'll have to find someone who can tune it and pay for the dyno time. Jim Ochi's Street Mod autocrosser was making 260 hp at the rear wheels with a naturally aspirated 3.2 and a TEC3 setup. Other than that, a blower is an obvious choice. Vic has a 400hp blown/TEC3'd 3.2 running around as well... that's about 340 rear wheel hp! You don't have to be down on power if you've got the cash. -- Ron Katona
