Friend of a friend comes to visit the other day, stand around the shop, brought beer for me.....nice!....anyway, he wanted to come over (I thought) to discuss ITS RX7s, and I was hopeful I would be able to create another competitor.
Anyway, he asks "what brakes do you guys use?"...car is on the lift, so I points and says..."stock calipers...all we're allowed, Hawk Blues on the front, Blacks on the back"....
Turns out he wants to do only HPDE, wants bigger brakes for his stock TurboII street car.
I says to him..."no need, stock calipers WAAAY enough to lock the wheels any time you want...biggest problem we have is NOT locking the brakes....therefore, no justification for tossing money." The look on his face told me that he'd been planning for years to waste thousands of dollars on that....he was disappointed in my advice....
If anybody has a different view than me, I will be glad to pass it along to him.
