OK be serious and answer correctly, Only ITR owner answer please. Just a survey I'm working on.

I was wondering how hard is everyone on their brakes thru a normal week?
(normal week meaning- NO HPDEs, autoX, or any sanctioned events)


if your answer is differnet from one of the choices please say so.

If your looking for the option SWED, I ran out of choices- sorry

 

What if my GS-R uses ITR front brakes?

 

ok, I should have said- If your using ITR brakes on car that weighs the same.

 

you dont have, "I smoke weed everyday" on there

 

"If your looking for the option SWED, I ran out of choices- sorry"

 

I'm generally not too hard on the brakes while driving on the street...but I do try to ABS them once a day to keep the rotor surface nice and clean

On the track...that's a whole other story. It's safe to say my brakes hate me at the end of every track day I attend.

 

imo the transition for the gas and brake pedals should be a linear one, atleast on the track, so if your mashing away at your brakes or gas...

 

I make the brakes work pretty hard, I smoke them from time to time, and I usually get the ABS on a few times a week, or more if I get bored.

 

I drive with care now not to hammer the brakes just for the hell of it . I grew up from
warping rotors days when i was a stupid racer wannabe kid flying around the street like I just got my license ..

 

i was just wondering do most of you guys down shift or just brake to slow down for street driving??

 

Oh gawd...where's Will?

 

i use brakes to stop the car, pads are cheaper and easier to replace then a clutch! rev match and heal/toe as needed.

 

Ehhhh... I use my brakes just hard enough to stop the car within the distance I have..... Duh
I you look very far and anticipate what is going to happen, you'll barely need to step on the brakes hard, except on the track ofcourse...

I'm still using my first set stock pads (50000 km on the tach) and they are now halfway through. I switch to Ferodo DS3000 on the track...

 

Here is a set of stock pads after ONE day at Buttonwillow at Expo 1. Speedpaks car and I co Drove. I had to have some Hawk HP+'s overnighted.

 

BTW the gray area is what is referred to as Ashing. They just kinda crumble apart.

 

Fyi...

Hey Will, 50000 km = 31250 miles!!!

My stock rotors are beginning to look like that....
1 Honda ITR rotor costs 200 US$ here at the dealer

 

Autozone oWnAgE.... nice

 

If my brakes worked properly then maybe I would use them a lil more.

 

Damn, your having all kinds of problems aren't ya.

I'm usually never hard on my brakes.

haha dood you have no idea. I did get some new ITR calipers and some new rotors...so hopefully Ill be able to abuse my brakes more without worrying about my steering wheel shaking violently.

BTW, nice avatar **** the Cowgirls

 

I managed to get thick plumes of white smoke to pour out from the pads on the street once. Since then, I've upgraded to Porterfield R4-S on the street in the winter, and I use Ferodo DS3000 pads for daily street use in the spring and summer, simply because the brake feel is just awesome. I clean the wheels every 3 days or so with a quick windex wipe. So under most curcumstances, I am careful to let my rotors warm up slowly, especially in the winter. Once they're up to temp, I use them hard or easy, depending on which cam I happen to be on. Dang, some of that was off topic, sorry.

 

Not as hard as Willard!


Andy: Who thinks everyone should take a ride with Willard on a race track, "man knows how to brake".

 

May I ask what the point of this poll is and what r u trying to learn from this??

 

I'm just seeing how hard everyone is one their brakes- simple as I asked.
