I am using Performace Friction pads up front in the 01 compound. They are
long lasting (few years at least), easy on the rotors and great stopping
power. Not sure what configurations they have for TR calipers, since I am
using Jag calipers. Used Porterfield R4 before I coverted to Jag calipers.

Subject: [Fot] Brake pad / shoe poll
Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 20:05:03 +0000 (UTC)
Greetings FoT
I'm just taking a poll of what brake pads & shoes are being used. I have been
using the Porterfield vintage compound on the front because of exceptional
initial bite. Unfortunately the last two times I raced the car on freshly
turned rotors with new pads I end up cooking the pads & rotorsB in a single
weekend.
I'm not ready to throw Porterfield under the proverbial busB but so far I'm
not seeing anything in the front end or calipers that would cause the
problem.
Both times the rotors scored up pretty bad all the way across.
The pads have a gap at the outboard edge of the pads ( top )B and snug at the
inboard side. The smell of cooked brakes is present and blue rings toward the
inboard edges
of the rotors. Chunks of pad missing, pads glazed. The rears have performed
great, no problems. I had to use the brakes so hard over the 15th & 16th I
still have
a prononced limp, no joke. I do have Uncle Jack's spindles and have a real
good pedal, no fade
or kickback.
Thanks for the input,
Jim G.
