I love Castrol srf(had super blue on my old 996 and it boiled after 6 hot laps) - gone to 14 trackdays and still running strong but will bleed them since my front pads are toasty 3mm left. Mike

if you dont bed them, they will not stop well, so you end up apply more and more braking thus overheating the pads and glaze the rotors.

ALWAYS bed pads, i dont care what pads on what cars, they ALL need to be be bedded.

One last thing that has always bugged me about GT3's.... You have too much rear tire for those 245 fronts. Cups run 240/280 and the damn things still want to understeer. I'm not surprised they understeer with 315's back there. IIRC you have 8.5 front rims which unfortunately limits your front tire size. With 9's you could run 255's or even 275's up front and along with a good diff transform those cars. I would spend money there before expensive shocks, springs, etc...

Just my $.02...

Mobonic- what are your alignment settings on your car? 245/305 should be fine. I can see 315 being an issue. Mike
