First, I know every has an opinion on they're favorite pad. So, I'll just list my requirements and you guys feel free to try to sway me in whatever direction.

I'll be in CMP (Carolina Motorsports Park) next weekend for both days. I've been cleared to run in the solo group, having about 12 track days under my belt. Although, I've only been on CMP once previously. This track is notoriously hard on brakes.

My plan is to swap to the 'track' pads next Friday and running them through the weekend and going back to OEM pads afterwards. BTW, I'll be running R-compounds. Right now, I'm thinking the Carbotech XP-8/9s

The hard part will be getting the pads before next weekend.

Second, looking at my current alignment (stock). The car would benefit from more negative camber. I've never done any indepth research, but is there anyone that makes camber bolts for these cars?

thanks for your time

how much camber are you looking for?

 

I'm thinking -1.5

 

XP8s should be fine. That's what I'm using these days. But of course it depends on too many variables to be sure.

 

[QUOTE=Intense,Jun 16 2006, 02:10 PM] I'm thinking -1.5

 

Yes, that is within the OEM spec. I think -2 is part of the UK spec.. But if you are lowered, forget it.

 

oh..ok, I guess I should know that...my bad.

To go further, is there any camber bolts to dial in more neg camber?

 

AFAIK there are only 2 items you can purchase to get more camber. The SPC replacement upper ball joint that is adjustable, and the adjustable upper A-arm from GFL.

I have the SPC, and on stock springs and shocks I maxed the camber up front at -3.1 degrees.
