Check your brake pads

[Bow Tie 67]

I'm running Porterfield RS-4 pads, and I found the pads are damaged. These have been on the car for several races as well as street driving without problems.

While inspecting the car and cleaning all the damn sand up. I noticed the drilled rotors were plugged up. The pads have areas that have chunks missing. I spoke with Porterfield and we believe the excessive sand that was blown into the brakes may have caused this.



I'm going over the entire car, with particular attention suspension, coil overs, wheels bearings, ball joints, ect... the sand is very fine and ended up everywhere.

Yes, sand is EVERYWHERE! I'm getting ready to wash my car now. Hopefully I can get rid of all the freakin' sand!
