I remember the post you were talking about and it is killing me that I can't find it. I thought it might have linked to a aviation webpage but i could be wrong. Anyways I believe this is the ducting but you definitely don't need 12ft like they show on this website. Wish I could find that other post....

Up till now I have not completely toasted any rotors on the track, so this is a first for me. For those guys that have been tracking a while is this typical of how the track rotors crack? This is a rear Cyro Powerslot with 20 days plus some street miles.

Thanks to everyone who posted on this thread - this is invaluable info. I've now tried the PFC01/97 combo, and I am very impressed. Seems to wear well so far, not harsh on the rotors at all, and can tear your face off when you really get on them.

I ran PFC 97's dual duty on my last track / street car (though it was a lighter car...a boxster)...had about 10 track days and 5k street miles and the pads still had about 50% material remaining. I had no degredation of braking performance on the street - though some very mild squealing - and the were great on track.

I think it was in this thread I outlined the dangers (increased stopping distance on street) and costs (accelerated rotor wear when you use race brakes at cold temps) in detail.

Yes they physically stop the car on the street you are correct.

What does age have to do with it? That doesn't mean you could have been doing it wrong for years. Just because I've swung a golf club for 30 years doesn't make me an expert.
