dont be weak, get some real calipers that take 30mm thick pads! only have to change them once every year or so.. with track use.. and if a common racing caliper pads can be had pre bedded for less than 150 a set.

you tried these guys for DS2500s DJR? http://www.zeckhausen.com/Brembo/GT1_Pads.htm

pad choice for F40/F50s is probably second to none. all the euro stuff is available, so is the US stuff and even the japanese stuff is all made in F40/F50 pad shapes.

as far as the cool kids go, they most often mistake my F50s with 355mm rotors for stock R33 brembos... lol definitely no cred, especially since they fit under my 17inch LMGT4s...

From zeckhausen

The 16mm FDSR3028 w/o sensor slot is no longer available in the USA and possibly Europe, but the 16mm thick version with the sensor slot is available. I'm checking to see if it's sitting in the USA or if it has to be ordered from Italy.

Meanwhile, I've added the 16mm thick pads to our part numbering system with a "-1" extension to differentiate from the 18mm thick pads. See: http://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=82_85

Will let you know about availability shortly.

For some reason, the thinner 16mm DS2500 is more expensive than the 18mm version, however the pricing is reversed with the DS3000, with the 16mm version being cheaper. Odd.

Then:

I just heard back from Essex - the importer of Ferodo into the USA. They state the FDSR3028H is not available and they do not stock the FRP3028H. It would have to be special ordered from Italy with a lead time of about 8 weeks.

I think I'm going to buy a set of the project MU titan HC for my F50s. yes they are 18mm but they list them as suitable for front calipers. maybe F40 to F40 is slightly different width? for $179USD I think they are pretty keenly priced.

Well let us know how you get on. Are they a new pad because I cant remember Project Mu doing something with that working temperature range. Local price is $444. Ow.

I think I will order the 16mm pads (and wait a bit) then check them with a 2mm spacer.

fk me dead. $444 is harsh. I thought $178 was cheap but was thinking more like $300-$350 retail. :( will let you know. if it comes to it I'll need to spend some time grinding the bastards down... :(

yes. 400 for little 16mm pads is horific. just think, 2 pad changes and youve almost bought a set of forged monoblock race calipers with titanium pistons.. fyi using evo pads in the f40/50 caliper lowers/widends the contact area buy about 10mm. but they are thinner.

Have you tried PFC06? They are a nice bitey pad, but in my car I struggle with locking brakes with them. I am abotu to bin them for some RS4-2. Much lower bite nad friction coefficient. I think some of the high u pads are for non boosted brakes etc

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
