pethier Posted July 29 Posted July 29 At a Corvette-club autocross where they like to run fast sections interrupted by tight hairpin turns I was up in third gear when I approached one of these hairpins. I was getting alarming rear brake lockup. Rather than replumb the brake system (amazingly, the UK let Caterham sell this car in 1991 with single-circuit disc brakes), I would like to try front pads with a higher coeffcient of friction. Any recommendations for front brake pads? I am unsure what calipers these are. The car is a 1700 Super Sprint. It seems to be the same car as a Prisoner Special Edition.
CarlB Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Porterfield R-4-1 have a very high coefficient of friction. Great autocross pad! 1
IamScotticus Posted August 28 Posted August 28 (edited) Phil, consider a brake proportioning valve for bias control? With better pads. Edited August 28 by IamScotticus
pethier Posted August 28 Author Posted August 28 Going to try green stuff and Minitex on the front ant leave the rear pads alone.
