Not bad, much better than A1RM on the track but still gave up after 3 hard laps. Project Mu I would do about 5 laps before shit got hairy lol

Recently just bought Type D Intima pads, I'll tell you how they go after 30th May.

Wow 700C temp rating, higher than the A1RM. How do the SR go on the track?

My Intima SS's died on the hills, need some convincing to go back to Intima after that..

I have SRs. Great street pad. But I never use the brakes so I suppose I don't really test them!

How do the pads "give up" after track laps??

Sorry wasn't too clear, so what I mean say after 5 or so laps, the pads become ineffective at stopping the car also known as brake fade. Once everything cools down again by either doing a cool down lap or waiting for the next session then the brakes will be back to normal again until you've given them a pounding and they "give up" after x laps.

Brake fade is not the pads, that will be your brake fluid not able to handle the temp.

Fluid boiling is not brake fade. That's when the pedal goes to the floor and your lunch ends up in your pants.. Fade is where the pads exceed their working temperature and stop having a decent coefficient of friction.

That's pretty lucky then, because everyone else I personally know and race with all have used A1RM, all hate them, all have had brake fade, and half of them crumbled their pads.

I personally hate them, but I hate Bendix pads even more.

I agree, my A1RM's were shot after 3 laps or so of Phillip Island in the Stagea, but that is an 1800kg wagon with R34 Brembo's and 350kw.

Great pad for spirited road driving though, mine don't make any noise, and I have never had an issue on the road.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
    • Yep four point harness. Mounted to a bolted in brace running behind the seats. Dont use it for daily driving tbh but good to have for when its needed plus it looks cool.
    • I had to double check the thread title r34 gtt offset advice lol. Thought maybe i posted on the wrong thread. 😂
