There's a surprise...

Even those 13" pie plates on the front of my car are supposedly barely adequate for real track use.
Well, I went through the esses at like 80mph, and braking at the end, I'd push the pedal about halfway down taking it easy into the closing radius left hander.... then as I trail braked (very gently mind you), I'd apply more brakes and get zero additional braking force.

I'd really like some StopTechs, considering they're the ones Gary runs on the USTCC car, but I don't know where I'm gonna get the $1700 for 'em! :shock: You think StopTech would want to sponsor an STX car in addition to a Touring Car?

Other options look like the Willwoods (Dean, how do you like yours on the Stealth?) or even the Baers, but I don't know personally of anyone running the Baers on a WRX.
