What are the SP rotors all about? I think I am ready to step up to a better pad. I had no fluid boiling issues at Mid Oh and I got a tiny bit of pad fade at the end of my last session.

The rotors are from brakeshopper.com. They're under $240 shipped for a set of fronts and have held up well. Better than the Stoptechs in terms of rotor wear, but I seem to go through pads faster now. I'm tempted to try the Racing Brake pads for the cost savings. Remember, I run a pretty much stock-powered Evo so I only hit 130 down the back straight, even another 10mph top speed will translate to more heat in the brakes.

I was wondering if someone could help me out that has the tactrix cable/Evoscan/Ecuflash. I am thinking the tune is just not tuned enough. I am thinking of going with Mellon with an E-flash. The baby is due in a month so the wife says I can't spend the ~$125 on the cable and EvoScan along with $50 for the eflash- "money we need for a breast pump and mattress." Yes, the baby is the priority. However, I would like to make sure the car is running correctly. I am afraid once the baby is here, it will never get done and am running around with 10 counts of knock. I just want the car running better. I'll pay for the help. I will need help getting the current ROM and two logs. Let me know.

P.S.
Congrats on the baby soon.

Wasn't me. I am rarely there except for a Dayton Dragons game here and there when I get free tickets. We didn't there last time till 8pm. Also, I still have the monster on the trunk. There are more Evo's around Dayton then I thought. I saw a an MR (IX?) on 741 in front of Walmart a month or two ago. Never saw him again.

Yeah so I found out why I always have air in my lines after a bleed. Don't buy Goodridge brake lines. They have been selling these for 3 years with a faulty rear fitting. Oh they are great guys and will ship you the new fittings if you call and ask them. I think they should be sued, or jailed. Or forced to drive a car with their POS brake lines on a treacherous road.
Go to hell Goodridge.
Greg I remember you saying something about running slightly slower times at Mid Oh when you messed up your ABS sensors. Are you really braking hard enough to engage the ABS?
Who is going to Grattan?
