I use the car as my daily driver here in New England, so cold stopping is important. It's also my auto-x machine and I might do an occasional track school with it. My questions are... Ferodo DS2500 or Hawk HPS? OEM rotors, G3000 rotors or ? Best place to get this stuff at a good price? Thanks! -josh ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

I've been running this mod for several years now and no problem, but I changed the thermal switch. Now, the electric fan comes on at lower temperatures like a primary fan should. Still 2 speed, so it'll kick on high if you turn on the a/c or it gets hot. -- Roger Baker Neil Maller <neil.maller@gte.net> wrote: ><snip> >Since then I've been running without a main fan, as practiced by Lowell S. >and others, with no apparent ill effects.

Very low dust and very good cold. The also stand up to decent track use, but I certainly prefer to swap out to "real" pads for that. ;) They obviously dust significantly on track. Haven't tried the DS2500 but will probably try that as my next street pad. I've heard nothing but good things about them.
