New pads and rotors.

During caliper re-installation, I ran into a problem described here: Stripped Brake Caliper Bolt Hub Threads

I decided to try Pagid Black RS-14 pads and solid rotors all around this time. These pads are known for incredible grip and being somewhat hard on rotors. In fact, some drivers report that they are either full ON or full OFF and thus, hard to modulate. I'll let you know what I think in a couple of weeks after racing at Willow Springs.

This is a side-by-side pic of the old Pagid Orange front pad and the new Black. The heat turns the originally orange pad backing plate a nice shade of brown!



The new Pagid Blacks...



Everything done and ready to roll!
