The car simply known as "The Talon"

I thought for sure you were gonna have brakemans or one of the cheaper STM kits or TCE kits

[awdxtc]

Nah, I don't have an extra $1000 laying around right now. TCE will be what I go to if I change anything but I have always been impressed with the stock 2 piston calipers, even from 145 plus mph.

[CornFed2.4]

Im sure alot of members can vouch for the stopping power of the 2 pisiton stock calipers. You could always pull the shoot if you cant stop. Assuming your gonna need one.

[awdxtc]

Yeah but I just don't think I will have to, lots of time to slow down at the end of a run.

[GsXtUrBo98]

Depends on the track I guess.. If it was at our rock falls track then you would have zero time to stop/slow down.

[awdxtc]

I really only run the car at NHRA certified tracks like Norwalk.

[GsXtUrBo98]

Well thats good. We have brainerd for that.

Cobra brakes

[awdxtc]

Don't you need a 17 inch wheel for those?

I've stopped at rock falls on 2G brakes at 150+ and it wasn't too bad.

[Goat Blower]

Yeah, the big brakes are really needed more for repeated stops. Plus, even with stock pads, they were meant to haul down 3500 lbs of 2G plumpness, and no quick 1G weighs anywhere near that much.

[turbotalon1g]

Looks like I need to upgrade my 1 pistons.

What pads/rotors are you using xtc?

[awdxtc]

Oem mitsu rotors not cheap advance auto ones. Mach V has a killer deal on them right now and I am trying the axxis ultimate pads.

Wow, I didn't know they still made thos Axxis pads, I've been using them for 10 years with good results. I can't even remember the last time I changed them.

[awdxtc]

Yep. I used to have the metal masters and I liked them so these should do well.

[awdxtc]

Brakes are in, need to order lines now. Still waiting on fuel fittings ( starting to get pissed as I ordered them on feb 4th) Now I am looking for the best price on a set of hankook R-S3 tires in 225/50-16

[Tachyon]

For some reason TireRack has been the cheapest I've seen for RS3's of late.
