OK, I know that we've beaten it to death. For street and occasional track, the Perfomance Friction Z's are a good choice for the front of my 99'.

What about the rears?

Also, autozone lists the Z's for 97-98 but not the 99's.

Gotta get ready for some hot laps at CMP.

Oh, one other ? Tire pressures? 255/45-17 SZ50's on stock rims? Good starting point? Autocross, I ran about 40 psi or so.

The Hawk HPS should be good for the rear if you are going with the Z pads. $0 PSI is a good start for tire pressures. It would be a good idea to bring and extra set of front and rear pads.

I agree with John, HPS for the rear. If you run those in the rear and the PF-Z pads in the front you should be good to go.

Hey John, gotta good source for the hawk pads?

johnbasf · 01-25-2003, 09:41 PM

Maximum Motorsports is where I get mine.

Hey John,
Would the HPS's for the front be better than the PF-Z's? Also, does MM give us a discount?

Jeff

I ate some rotors on track with HPS on the front, PF-Z on the front would be better.

PF-Z's- $70 at Autozone with a lifetime warranty...you smoke them, they give you a new set for free no questions asked...

Hawk HPS- $90 and when you smoke them, you have to pay another $90 for a new set.

They are a similar pad but for the money alone, you can't beat the PF-Z. In my experience they aren't too bad on rotors.

Jeff - did you ever get my PM about the brakes?

EDIT - I guess I should have checked my own PM's!!!

LOL!! (just read your responses...)

Just my .02 worth...I'm going to be running a new compound from Carbotech on the fronts and the XP on the back at CMP. I thought several of the AI guys ran Carbotech's pads???

SIUNARA · 01-30-2003, 06:08 PM

Cobalt is the new AI series sponser. I just purchased some pads and rotors from them, and they were GREAT to deal with!!! Might wanna check them out too!!

flynfink · 01-30-2003, 07:04 PM

did, got them on the way Axxis Ultimates for the front and Hawk HPS for the rear. They were great to work w/ and even gave me a discount
