Not sure if it matters, but I bought lined hose clamps - they have an extra long metal tongue on the inside so that when you crank them down they do not shred the hose. I posted part number earlier, but you can buy them many places I bet.

I saw that post and am trying that route next. Thanks

A quad tip setup will go on next so I have 50% less surface area to melt since they don't have a bottom. Or at least thats the excuse I'm using.

Without pictures, it didn't happen.

Good thing digital cameras didn't exist yet when I was growing up or else I'd be in jail for all the stuff I didn't do. No pics taken of it yet.

So the DTC-30's left a fair amount of pad deposits on a slow/cold track day driving at about 60%, pretty disappointed. Finishing the duct install this week finally to help with temps.

And here's my "cool" ventilated diffuser.

I am changing course on my ducting....If anyone is looking for brand new Quantum brake duct backing plates or a complete kit see the link in my sig.

Thanks,
Matt

I tried the DTC-30 and they were terrible. Wrong pad for track use.

Now I run Cobalt Friction XR2/XR4 and they are awesome.

Synner · 03-22-2014, 09:33 PM

Yeah I bought them a year ago before I deployed, at that point there were a few ppl claiming success with them. Apparently they drove slow...? I dunno, but they suck. I don't understand how JDP says they work so well for them. I'll probably do XR1/XR3. Not sure if I can get another track day out of these, there's enough pad material but I don't trust them at all. It'll cost me more in the long run if they ruin my rotors and I kept cringing at the end of the straight hoping they wouldn't crap out on me.

For now just install my new 6-pistons calipers and 2 piece rotors with my old brake ducts dumps from last year and then figure something out after my first event in April!

Aside from the XR CF pads, the OEM CTS-V pads worked quite well with the CTS-V six pots. What I am not sure of is if the ZL1 six pot pads are the same compound as the CTS-V. My guess is they are and will perform better than many after market pads.

Confirm
CTS-V and ZL1 factory pads are the same part numbers. Don't have it right now but will post if needed.

EDIT

Agreed. I am going with the stock CTS-V / ZL1 pads to start and then go form there.

I bought HPS pads but wish I had gotten the stock Brembo pads. The next set will be...
