KVR Carbon Fiber brakepads arrived today

Finally I can put on the matching crossdrilled/slotted rotors to match the Wilwoods up front this weekend...

Nice. I'm going to stay brand loyal to my Hawks for now. I have HPS, going with HP+ this time. These HPS are great for autoX, but after about 10-15 laps on a road course they start to get weak on me... and I plan on doing alot more road course driving this summer than I did last summer. Let us know how the KVRs work. A few of us here actually care about stopping fast too, not just going fast

their decent pads, i had them on my Accord and now my Max with front Z brakes. the only thing i dont like is it requires some warmup before they brake good...hope you like them.

My front Polymatrix D pads need a little warmup time as well... hehe

I use to have a set of Carbon Fiber pads on my 87 Supra... the calipers froze and by the time I got home, the rotor was glowing red/smoking. The rims were so hot that when you sprayed water from a bottle, it instantly evaporated. I replaced the caliper and sanded down the pad, and left the crossdrilled rotor. Didn't have any problems... The pads were a different name however.. ONEDINE?

Finally got my lazy butt to put in my new rear rotors and the new KVR carbon fibre pads... only took me an hour... I took lots of pics hoping to put a webpage up on how to do rear brakes along with my Wilwood page.
