Changing brake pads-DIY?
#26
Good to see some other owners track these cars. I have had mine up to summit point several times. I have not been to Beaver Run yet but I have raced at the Glen. Have you tried Dragon Ridge yet?
Have you tried anything but OEM pads? I have two track days on the rotors and they still look pretty good but Summit Point is not too hard on brakes. My front calipers, however, have turned a nice gold color from the heat!
I saw on another thread that if you disconnected the SBC that the pistons would retract and it made it easier to change the pads. I am not sure if we have the selective brake control.
