Re: Carbotech brake shoes

I have the soft (rd4?) Porterfields and they bite a little less than Carbotechs,but are just fine until you want the last 5% of stopping power.

Re: Brake shoes

I installed my first set of Porterfields and had to grind a little to clear the drum,but experienced no unusual stuff such as you did,so I suspect it is not related to the shoes.

Re: July Minutes

I've driven my Elise at Pacific Raceways. It's a great car,but there is no comparison to the fv. You'll be astounded when you find out what a vee will do. Schrady's car is clean and unmolested - good choice.
