Thanks Pat I followed the link and it explains it very well.. Who would have known to look on a brake company's website. I think I got it figured out I should have new pads and rotors in about 1 1/2 weeks just have to waite for them to get the rear rotors in. I have to be different I don't hear much about Project Mu so they are what I am going with. Should be nice slotted rotors, pads, Stoptech brake lines, and Motul 600 fluid should be ready for the next track day which I am hoping will be at the end of the month..

Jeremiah,

The only reason I knew about it is because Mike pointed me in that direction before.

I like everything I've read about Mu. I think they're just as reputable manufactur in Japan as many of the Japanese name brands we're used to here, we just don't hear about them as often. I'm really interested to see how they work out for you.

I am pleased with the Stoptechs, but I am keeping my options open for later.

Sweet. I'll make sure and make myself available when you strap them on.

I enjoyed the reading, thank you.

I learned all about knockback and how to minimize/prevent it.

My favorite method was this:

5. Slow down and reduce cornering forces

Naturally, this solution is no fun and is not recommended.

These are the rotors and on their site they don't show the pads they just say they are for Japanese market only but that's not 100% true The pads are the Type NS World one has them they are the cheaper of the pads but are more agressive so if they don't last that long I'll get the others...I still might get the others instead...
