I'm really hoping everyone confirms as dingy is the next person on the list, and I couldn't bring myself to give him free tickets to silverstone AND free brakes all in the same day!!

1) Standard 2.0 Turbo 4 pot calipers
...and standard 2.0 Turbo rear calipers, too - if that's covered by the test.

There was a reference on p4 to testing Green and Red versions. If possible, I'd like to try both. I don't do much track time, but tend to be a late braker on the road - I'd would be interested in seeing how they compare.

Email via registered address or as per profile. Cheers!

You have indeed won.

There are 20 sets.

The first 10 go to the "first come first served" 10 people, and the remaining 10 go to an "out the hat" selection of the remaining people.

All the best

Simon

Simon,

Can you confirm this is just the front pads. And also if we get a set of red and green or if we have to choose etc.

Cheers,

Tony.

Hi Chaps

I've asked the above questions of Andy and here's his reply..

---

All 20 guys can have up to three sets ALL FRONTS,there is no point testing rears.

1) For STREET we will give latest AF 44/78 Green

2) For FASTER STREET we will give latest version Redstuff

3) For TRACK use of any kind we will give new Yellowstuff in TWO different materials to compare

Then when test results come back to me I will fill them in on a spread sheet and copy everyone so they can see the results,if people are happy we will carry on making to these formulations,if not we will offer other materials.

All the best

Simon

Hhmm, will mismatched F/R compounds be a relevant test ?

Just thinking out loud, not meaning to sound ungrateful....

Just echoing Docjock's thoughts. Front and rears are always matched on my car to avoid rear end lockups due to faster warmup of the rears and diferent Mu rates affecting handling and safety, this is especially important on cars without ABS. The test would be more acurate if fronts and rears are swapped simultaneously IMHO.
