^ very true....no limit to how much you can pay.

The Endless pads sound like a good way to save...

Do you mean breaking power is as good as with RS29, but pads could last more than one season ??
Have you reference of those pads ?

Brake modulation is better than pagid and do not have sharp drop off in performance. Yes, so far they lasted me more than a year and still going strong. They can be had from vivid racing or BR racing. I used the N05U compound

Rotors, same thing...

+1 on Pagids. Peter, see if you can still find the 06's, as they bite a bit better thhan the 08's. 01's are the best, and still last longer than Pagids, and are good to the backing plate, but 06's and 08's are longest lasting.

Drilled rotors suck *****. PFC rotors FTW...

I'll try...sounds like a good improvement. I've driven on the 08's before with good success but noticed a drop off after half way down similar to Pagid. These Endless pads sound interesting...

I was out at MMP this weekend with NASA (participating in the HPDE) and was able to watch Leigh race on Saturday & Sunday. He is quick - and it was a pleasure to watch him lap the outer configuration.

Thanks Leigh for all the detail on Cup costs... Running my "street" 6GT3 is running about $700/day for consummables, gas & track fee. A 2-3x multiple would be steep, but is on the bucket list!

All the best,
-Blake

PFC are the real deal. Still in shock how much better than Pagid they are....

Tempted by the Endless though.
