from what i could tell riding with you for 10 laps...you're on the brakes for a long time...but you're not applying nearly enough pressure.

or at least that was my observation...

you were braking at the 200....that's a LONG way away from the the turn-in of corner 1 - even on bone stock brakes.

same deal at the entry of the hairpin.....
That's what I mean. I'm not using the OEM properly yet, so there's no need for me to upgrade.

I'm still not fully comfortable at high-speed...

Don't bother upgrading your brakes yet - pads yes, calipers no.

Check the racing and competition forum - many of the really fast guys still use stock....

Rob... same thing at shanny.

On that first run the back straight you were right behind me. Then after that first turn you were gone . But back on my ass by that last corner before the straight again.

It was also due to the setting of the BC's. They were too soft in the rear...
